And they know it's actually in there how? Break the seal and see? Whoops, there goes the value!
Weren't there reports of people stealing tech from WallyWorld, placing objects of similar weight back in the re-sealed package, returning same for refund, and WallyWorld puts the item back on the shelf? Look, you just bought a paperweight!
I hope the buyer was a Japanese guy who made his fortune on that real-estate fiasco in the 1980’s. That would be perfect circular karma.
