I have previously bought new items and they have been in excellent condition. I couldn't tell if the previous purchase had been used in any way. However, they looked like they had been used for a couple of years, put in a box and then sold at a flea market. There were remnants of tape on the cables, some of the plastic had been damaged by ultraviolet light, and one of the controllers rattled. I do NOT feel like I got my money's worth. However, I'm not asking for a refund as I bought themโฆ
