Even though the HDD was a warehouse deal, Amazon is getting scammed in the "new and sealed" department as well.
When I bought a new NZXT AOI cooler Amazon sent me the original box with a fake seal sticker on it. The original contents were taken out and the box was filled with an old used Corsair cooler and some random electronics. Even the manual was replaced with one for a pull up bar.
Amazon could have known the sticker was fake because it was just a blank sticker without a logo and the box should be completely sealed in plastic when new.
