Question in regards to amazon. Easy ten points!?

I bought a used item on amazon because it was cheaper than buying it new on amazon.

However, when I got the product it was still in the factory shrink wrap.

Why would someone list an item as used on amazon, when it's brand new?

And by no means I'm complaining. I'm just curious as to why someone would do so.

    Maybe its so old the warranty has expired, so in that sense it's not like new.

    There could be many reasons to label it as used like : Used could mean that they had it for some time without opening and it could cualify as used. Or they just really wanted to sell it and get rid of it fast and just label it as used so someone bought it. Anyway you should stop asking so many questions and just enjoy it!!!!
