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.

This is puzzling. 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.

It should be in their best interest to supply good
service.
