How to tell whether samsung galaxy s4 is new or refurbished?

[AC Question]

Hello Guys,

I bought Samsung Galaxy S4 on a ebay auction ....the listing said its new and comes in a factory like sealing, however, it actually came out loose. I am not sure whether its new or used/refurbished. Is there a way to figure out?

I tried ##786# and *#*#786#*#* but couldnt take me to RTN

Please help!!

Thanks
G

I have heard there is a tape that can tell you if the original seal was broken. I think it is under the battery.
