I recently picked this up new and sealed from my local used record shop. I carefully opened the box from the back so the shrink wrap would stay on the front of the box. When I lifted the rear of the box and turned it over I saw that the inner tray was damaged from the items inside having shifted. This is bad box design using paper thin cardboard. I any of you purchased the Monty Python BluRay box a few years ago this was a big problem. I had to get it replaced twice to get an unbroken one. In the case of this item I had no option of asking for a replacement and as the record store owners are my friends I did not want to put them out. Other than the damage to the inner tray all items contained inside the box are in perfect condition. I have listened to the blu-ray disc and the 2 stereo SACDs once. The multi-layer SACD is untouched. Everything else is as new and untouched by me.
I will repack this for shipping with the box contents in their own box so that the original box does not suffer any further damage.
Information about the box set is below.

deluxe box set which contains the album on silver-coloured vinyl, three SACDs, an exclusive seven-inch single, and a blu-ray disc – which includes HD versions of all tracks, a 5.1 surround mix of the album, the original 1974 vinyl master and an exclusive documentary by Paul Kendall (the director of the 2013 film, The Byrd Who Flew Alone: The Triumphs and Tragedy of Gene Clark) – and a hardbound 80 page book which features essays, extensive liner notes and previously unseen photos.

All the SACDs are hybrid, meaning you can play the stereo audio on normal CD players. The first (multi-layer) SACD is presented in an exclusive Japanese vinyl replica sleeve and features the eight-track album and the 5.1 surround mix, while two further SACDs offer 18 session tracks and a couple of seven-inch edits. Amongst the sessions is a recording of ‘Train Leaves Here This Morning,’ an Eagles hit in 1972, written by Gene and Eagles founding member Bernie Leadon.

As well as being home to the documentary, the blu-ray offers all the stereo content on the three SACDs, plus the 5.1 mix, the 1974 ‘vinyl master’ of the album and an exclusive 2019 stereo remix. The 5.1 and stereo remix is by Neil Wilkes and B.J. Cole at Opus Productions (everything is 24/96).
