He said it's new wire. OTOH he's not Home Depot and won't accept returns/exchanges, give a volume discount, or accept a credit card. Plus the customer has to go through extra bullshit to get it like texting and meeting OP at McDonald's. And if it's going for full price, all else equal, a Home Depot receipt over a panopticon bank account is less worry for tax deduction than a screen shot of some text messages.
More benefits of buying new from a store: easy returns, full choice of wire, possible warranty.
