Most things you buy will tell you whether it is new and in original packaging.
I have, in the past bought 'open box' items. These are items which have been returned, but they have been checked to ensure they are working and in good condition.
These open box items are often much cheaper and of good quality, they offer good value and I haven't ever had a problem with them.
Selling rules relating to stuff you buy on the Internet are different too...you have longer to decide whether it is what you actually want.

My post has vanished Margaret, and I think I know why, when I read it a word had been replace with those little stars, I got banned once for them dammed things, but I din't put them there, the program did. I appreciate what you say, about opened & suposedly unopend items, but years ago argos was caught doing just that, repackaging dud stuff, less bother than sending it back to the supplier, I've never seen any open box stuff on sale, but then I've got to the stage where it takes me all my time to get out of bed these days, that bloody thing I sleepin had a real hold, it wur turned 12 before I managed to ged out of it, an Imelda had been shouting since 11.
How is your mum these days, Imelda mentioned your mum the other day, they used to work together years an years ago.
