I believe it. When I worked at an electronics retailer as a teen I knew a manager that would erroneously mark brand new products as "open box". Once they were marked as such the manager could change the price to anything they wanted. Then they would sell the products to friends and family for next to nothing.

It’s a lot more common than anyone thinks at electronics retailers, nearly always by the store managers. I worked as a technical consultant to one of the bigger electronics retail chains and it wasn’t hard to notice at many of the stores.
