How can you tell if Xbox is brand new

I am thinking about buying an Xbox 360 off of craigs list. The seller said that the package has never been opened. How could I tell if I went to go look at it?

security stickers, no sratches, quite when started...

Can the security stickers be tampered with and reglued somehow?

Smell it.

Can you smell the plasticy freshness?

Cables should be sealed in plastic.

One indicator could be the disk drive of the XBOX. i heard lately the newer ones are working with a BenQ-Light drive (at least in my country), so if the salesman can tell you which drive the XBOX has, you should have a slight clue whether its new or if its in the shop since the very first day.

Please correct me, if im wrong.

well, he said he got his old one fixed and he bought this one for $190 with discounts, so he's just looking to get some cash back. it's for $175.00. should i do it?
