Just one of those silly conundrums, as a seller here, I’ve still not entirely
come to terms with.
Okay, so you’re someone that parts out new sets for resell inventory.
Naturally, all the content is uploaded to inventory as “new” including the instructions,
stickers and any gear if applicable. Consider also that these new sets might
be pulled from factory cartons, never on retail shelves. What then should be
the listing condition of the box?
Given consensus understanding of the term, can't really refer to them as
new, even if pristine. So why then, still the ability to list LEGO boxes as new?
There are some fairly pricey boxes that sell, listing precision for this category
might be worth further pondering.

There are items with packaging that is not destroyed or damaged when opened.
Sealed games, for example, that are plastic wrapped can be opened with no damage.
When sold by LEGO as new and parted out, the box can be seen as new. However
boxes with seals that have to be cut or popped, I think I'd always list them
as used. Not that I'd sell boxes unless they are vintage (used) or expensive
set boxes.
