Anyone buying a NIB wants to be the first to open. There are the risks that the person unpacking will damage/scratch the machine at setup as its NOT their own. I unbox new pins as part of my job and I can tell you that a lot have faults and not all due to transport. My 2 were a good example of this. I cant blame the distributors for this.

My NIB lotr-le had a fault when it was first opened,took the psp guys a while to figure it out on the phone but it turned out to be a bent pin on the main connector which stopped it from starting a game been going strong ever since,would i buy another NIB hell yeah.
