Seller lied about condition

[Lopaka KaMars]

Aloha Oakley Forum peeps. I know the title makes my post sound ominous and possibly dark. But in actuality, the sellers incomplete description made for a happy and great surprise. Things were BETTER than described. So a few days ago a 'New Without Tags' Ducati Valve 1.0 popped up on Feebay with a Buy-it-now of $175. Seller is saying total unused condition. Mint. Great. So I finally pulled the trigger after thinking about it approximately 2-3 long seconds. Now I just have to wait to see what arrives in Hawaii. So what you see in the photos was carefully packed. Almost appears to be a BNIB pair. Glasses appear to be totally unworn, as it was real clean under the nose rubbers. Like new. But I need to ask Forum Experts if this model came with a box like this. The white tag on the side of the box tells me the box and paperwork could've come from anywhere. I'm afraid to try and peel it, to see what might be behind that white label. Still awesome to have a brand new Ducati pair.

Thoughts on the box please.

it is possible the store put that sticker over it. It didnt come from Oakley that way.

But was a Ducati box like this available for a Valve 1.0? That I don't remember.

I thought It was this box. The other box is later version of the Ducati issue. Plaintiff, Scalpel, Hijinx etc

I have a similar sticker over the factory label on a pair of Juliet’s. I have to agree with @GRFMotorsports This was talked about before. Hell, @GRFMotorsports might have been the individual that mentioned it to me

Image from google. There's more images of other boxes though.

The box may be a mid production change. Check all the dates.

I believe I had the other black box at one time, before I sold it. That's why this red one was throwing me off a little. It only matters because I intended for this pair to be my second Valve 1.0 shelf whore. Along with my 'Proto' Valve 1.0. I can say it's BNIB if I never wear it for even a second.
