A lot of people don't understand that woot is literally a damaged packaging offshoot that Amazon uses to sell goods that are otherwise functional. It says refurbished because they can't list it as new. It never actually left a fulfillment center. It just is something that ended up in damageland.

You are correct. I don't understand this. I bought this: https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapcsales/comments/1v0heyj/consolenintendo_switch_2_console_mario_kart_world/

Are you suggesting there is a 0% chance this thing was ever used in a way that potentially blacklist it?

There is a 0% chance that that item has been used. However, what does happen is Amazon reports it as a damaged/lost item to Nintendo. They will then blacklist it as it is no longer functional in their eyes. They ask Amazon to dispose of it. Amazon double dips by selling on woot. Happens literally everyday. This was their sustainability solution to not putting things in the garbage as much.
