How can it be "unopened" if the contents have been removed?

You can see it has been opened because someone took a photo of it and the contents all layed out

Perfectly legal thing to do, and with the help of some slightly ambiguous wording, it's doing someone out of what they think they are getting.

Bet the seller works for Starbucks, or Amazon.

The buyer will probably put a Chinese fake phone in and sell it as a new item.

Try not to be silly, there's a good man.

It's a tw@ts trick because SOMEONE gullible will fall for it, and it's UNFAIR.
