Hey Pandora, if you open it and let the empty out, it won't be original.

What if it's half empty?
Do I get a partial refund?

I was trying to sell an opened box but potential buyer insisted that I close it.

Any chance you could turn it inside out just so we’d know it's empty?

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.

Goodwill has a safe for sale without a combination. I'm trying to decide if I want to buy it.

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?
