I recently purchased an SNES console that was advertised as brand new/unused/untested. I've bought factory sealed games from the seller before with no problem and all the pics looked fine. However, the consoles themselves are not sealed like games, so is it possible to determine if the console is brand new just by examining the contents? I took some pictures to show you how it was when I received it. Also, it is a Canadian version (box is english/french and model is SNS-CDMW-CAN).

I checked for any signs of wear or any dents/scratches and didn't notice any. Also, the Mario World game, console and video cable came in plastic bags, sealed on one end, as seen in the photos. Any help is appreciated. I'm hoping everything is legit, as I'd like to have a new console as kind of a centerpiece for my sealed game collection.
