How many times have you seen an auction that states  NEW IN BOX??

It sounds great and the price is great, until you get the item shipped to you.

Then you open the box, that has never been opened and you find an item that seems to be new.

Now the fun part, check the manufacturing date!!!

 

I bought a "New in the box" item and it was 6 (SIX) YEARS OLD. It was new in the box but very old and an item that is actually worthless in the electronic world.

Just ask questions, how old is the item, just because it is new in the box, the item itself is not NEW, but new old stock.

 

If this helps you, please vote

Thanks
