The boxes are RE-TAPED in back and presented as new. Sorry Eli but you can't defend this one- its a fact.
And what's wrong with opening a box, looking inside, and sealing it up again and selling it as new? It is still new, isn't it?

They also will allow you to LOOK IN THE BOX and see if its what you want. Great practice but thats not factory sealed.
No, it's not factory sealed, but again, it's still new, isn't it? It hasn't been used...

The ONLY way to be sure is-
1. Tell them you are expecting a FACTORY SEALED product.
2. Check it- Facory seals don't have double tape, tears near the tape, etc. PLUS open it and inspect it before buying. All manuals bagged, chords tied, basically sealed as expected.
So you're advising to open and inspect before buying...but not buy something that's not factory sealed?
