If a listing includes "damaged" in it, it covers the seller whether the item truly is damaged or not. If someone wants a pristine figure, that buyer is hard pressed to take that chance, no matter how good the reviews or recommendations are, especially if the buyer has never dealt with said online marketplace. This is not personal against you or your word, it's just a matter of being cautious about spending the money and time to get a figure.
I always debox so I don't care. But if anyone want hard proof that
everything, including the packaging is 100% undamaged, pristine, and brand new, the only way is to buy it
AFA Graded in the sealed plexiglass box and pay the price.
I'm not trolling. Even when buying from a store brand new, there is no guarantees that there is no damages already on the packaging or it won't be damaged in transport. The ironic cherry on top in buying a brand new sealed item is it can have factory defects that ruin the whole thing. It happened to me too many times.
