From SSC's perspective, most of the time it's not as if they are reselling "damaged" stuff. Buyers vary greatly in terms of their "pickiness" and a lot of the time, people return stuff for reasons that other buyers might not have even noticed, but SSC has to take the item back.
I've seen people return stuff like a Vader with a "weird swirl" on the dome, which in all honesty may or may not be visible under normal conditions, and for 3/4's of buyers wouldn't be an issue.
So what's SSC supposed to do with an otherwise perfectly good returned Vader that has a flaw that 3/4's of buyers wouldn't even notice?
The bigger issue is - what about the "tweener" figures that have more noticeable flaws and that 3/4's of buyers who wouldn't notice drops to 1/4 (i.e. 3/4's of buyers WOULD notice the issue)? Ultimately, unless the issue is really obvious, I think they just try their luck with nearly everything - if it comes back again, it comes back again.
Bottom line - they make 1/6 figures in 100% resealable packaging for a reason.
