Not sorry I clicked on this thread, I'll only be dissapointed if he opens the box.

Boxes have a model number of what used to be in it, so buyers can reassure themselves that that model is no longer in there. Therefore it has to be original.

is it a box or just a bunch of cardbord that has been folded such that it may be a box or may not? is it a box if it is never assembled?
