This is just another reason why returned items should not be resold. I bet you that if it was the original item, there would have been a seal on it. Although most of the time, you can tell if an item has been opened before or not. This is why, when customers' at my store return high priced items, but also the other items, we always open the package to make sure its the right item of the box. People DO cheat companies (gotta love scum!)
