In old days at Frys (around 2001), Fry's used to check the returned products (mother boards, memory, hard drives, etc) and check the serial number of mother board/memory/hard drive against the serial number on the package. They also used to do quick retest of returned motherboards, put them back in the package, shrink wrap it, then place them back on shelves. People started complaining about this, as customers have no way of knowing whether a package is new or not. Around 2007, Fry's started putting lables on returned packages. This way, one can know whether something is returned or not. Some customers used to replace things by keeping the same new package.
