Great video breakdown, but I want to fill in some missing information. This is our booth. The individual approached us and asked us to buy the box. They asked for $25k as a starting price. I asked to see it for inspection and discovered numerous flaws that made it inauthentic. The seller wanted to take it home, but I convinced them to open it immediately-a lot of people were watching and recording at this point. I'd like to give them the benefit of the doubt. If they had malicious intent, why would this person bring a box of this caliber to a company specializing in this product, which has a higher chance of identifying it as inauthentic? Anyone would be nervous in this situation. I'm convinced the person knew there was a possibility it could have been fake.
"why would a person bring a box of this caliber to a company that specializes in this product" ... Cuz people are dumb? Its 2024, the average IQ is like 48. I would not doubt for a second that he really thought he was gunna pull a fast one and nobody would dare open up a sealed box. I don't have too much experience but just business in general the dead giveaway to me from what it looks like is he came to a whole convention with one high value box to sell, he came to make his quick cash and get out. Again thats just perspective, i can't see more than what the camera shows.
When someone says "fake cards", it sounds like the vendor said it, but I could wrong. I do agree with you that the way the seller behaved sort of off in his response because that's not a cheap box. Personally, if I had bought it and got it verified with this vendor, I would've done everything I could to preserve it so I can either record the opening and verify the box against the purchase or to return the box as-is. I understand you don't want fake boxes in the market, but if you have a $40k purchase, that's not a loss I'd be willing to take tbh. The other theory is maybe this guy bought it for cheap online somewhere and he was ok taking a loss on it because it didn't cost him much. I'm leaning towards this seller being the resealer based on how he acted

Thanks so much for filling in the gaps for us. Really appreciate.
