I've been considering this route for some pretty expensive electronics. Does anyone have any experience with it? Did you try to pass it off as "the item came broken so I'm returning it", or did you go more along the lines of implying that this was something someone else already returned? Like "the box had its seal cut and had an old, obviously damaged item inside"? Not the outer shipping box, but the product box inside.

This would probably be from Amazon.com or BH Photo.

Is this a terrible idea? How carefully will they do things like check serial numbers or try to figure out how it's possible that an old camera made it into a new box?
