I've personally received stuff that is sold as new that clearly wasn't. In many cases it may have been somewhat hard to tell if just checking quickly outside of package. Amazon could have buyers note if still new or used on returns, check some "new" ones carefully, and if buyers are lying have a consequence. Because once you actually open a package it usually is crystal clear that stuff is used! Think a "new" pencil sharpener filled with different color shavings :)
In my case most stuff has been to low dollar value to deal with a returns cycle on - so maybe that plays into the algorithm. More expensive stuff this seems to be rarer or I'm just getting lucky there.
