Sounds to me it was in a warehouse that had some kind of fire damage, hence the "sigarette smell" and the outer box missing. Then it was just a insurance write off, causing Sony to block the serialnumbers from the network because they should have been scrapped. Just my 2 cents

one of the ban reasons on ps5 was using psn accounts to activate the psplus collection (that promotion was only for ps5 users, but if you redeem the collection, the ps4 games was usable on a ps4 console), and here on south america/latam, a lot of people *pays money* to redeem those games

That sucks man. I have bought from that particular seller on wish before and had really good luck with their refurbished items. I've even gotten some refurbished things that were new.
