As requested whether or not you were seriousDude, can you take a photo of the marker next the box showing the serial number as proof.
o yes, and it was brand new as the seller stated, i had to take sum bits out of plastic wrapping and have yet to cut down the macro line to a desired length.
i didnt want to show my serial number but u can see the end of it on the warranty card....
