Of course... you'll never know whether it's a resealed box of bricks,
or an actual //c, until you open it, destroying the value.

I was thinking about that, too, but then I realized that you could
weigh it or, better, x-ray it to verify its contents.

Then I suppose there would be a special category of collectibles that
are ***not x-rayed!!**.  ;-)

  Wonder if someone used the machine for 10 years, then put it back in
the original box.  Without opening it, how you gonna tell?  The //c
box was not taped up, if I recall, just a tab and flap closure.

That's pretty amazing--I'd expect at least an adhesive seal over
the tab!

I thought it was a fundamental law of inventory that you shipped no
unsealed boxes.  ;-)
