Nah, this guy sells lots of them. The power supply he |
| 17 |
did mail is brand new -- just not the one I thought I |
| 18 |
was buying. The box originally had been sealed by Best |
| 19 |
Buy. The box came with the original Dynex User Guide. |
| 20 |
My theory: these are cheap run of the mill PSs put |
| 21 |
into Dynex boxes acquired from Best Buy which used the |
| 22 |
original PSs in their PCs. The seller took a picture |
| 23 |
of the box and put that on eBay. When the order comes |
| 24 |
in he takes a shiny new PS "New" and puts it in the |
| 25 |
Dynex box "in Box!". So, technically he hasn't lied. |

This is puzzling. Maybe the seller gets his family and |
| 40 |
friends to "buy" stuff and give him props. Then he |
| 41 |
runs his scam, cancels his account and starts another. |

Where's my tinfoil hat! |

It should be in their best interest to supply good |
| 51 |
service. |
