Well, *that* might be going a little far... I was just saying that at high
costs, things that are in valuable boxes can lose a lot of money for what seem
like ridiculously small defects- and people will be quick to cry foul over the
smallest little defect.
Now, personally, I don't subscribe to this. Every toy I've ever bought has
been opened (usually in the car on the way home). Every toy I ever buy *will*
be opened. I try to avoid buying things in sealed boxes when I can, actually,
because I know I will open it, and the sealed box adds to the cost.
