Nah, this guy sells lots of them. The power supply he did mail is brand new -- just not the one I thought I was buying. The box originally had been sealed by Best Buy. The box came with the original Dynex User Guide. My theory: these are cheap run of the mill PSs put into Dynex boxes acquired from Best Buy which used the original PSs in their PCs. The seller took a picture of the box and put that on eBay. When the order comes in he takes a shiny new PS "New" and puts it in the Dynex box "in Box!". So, technically he hasn't lied.

Maybe the seller gets his family and friends to "buy" stuff and give him props. Then he runs his scam, cancels his account and starts another.
