Well you answered it. That's basically the problem. It is logically inconsistant of them to tell us we should accept their opened games as new (I don't know, I can't trust them, they've proven that to me many times before) and yet they won't accept my opened games as new. I can do all the same things they can, show them the box and book is all there, and the game is unplayed, and everything. They may still say "but it's used" but then I can say "well if you want I can wrap it up for you in this nice Santa Claus wrapping paper". They might take that as an insult though, imagine that. Hey, maybe I can even print out a "new" sticker (hand written by me) and stick it straight on the game sleeve so when they try to remove it there's a chance they might actually tear the plastic (happened to me a few times) and instantly render the game into a very obviously used condition.
NOW do you see my point?
(Still not sure why you want to actually touch the box before you buy it though... They all feel the same, it's the info you want.)
On thinking about it, I actually want to do a hidden camera gag involving that very stunt... I think it would be hilarious.
(Yes, I AM the person that sees a book by an ex-con advocating not using sun screen or saying cancer doesn't really exist and decides to e-mail the company telling them that selling such a book is damaging and they should stop and I'm very disappointed in them. Who DOES that? I do, well NOW I do. I care about these things and I get my complaints out there now. Mind you THAT example is certainly a lot more severe but it's still a "it doesn't really affect you, stop complaining and sit down" sort of thing.)

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
