Rails - Jul 2006 - options_for_select - default nil value

I have a field in a view, like so:

<%= select_tag(''quoted_condition'', 
options_for_select([''NEW'',''RETAIL'',''OEM'',''REFURB''],
''NEW'')) %>

This sets the ''selected'' value to ''NEW'' -
however, I would like to have
a nil value here, so I can "force" the user to choose a condition -
much
likt the :prompt option for select().

Any ideas on how to do this ?
