The value is lost the moment you open the box and perhaps even the moment you pay for the item.
(yes I know of a specific instance where someone realized after paying that they bought the wrong model, they went straight to return it. The clerk started to open the box. The person said “don’t open it. I just bought it a minute ago here’s my receipt. They said we need to check. They opened it took it all out then threw it into the returns with all the other used / unused /broken items)
So you take nothing from them by using the item. It’s the same to them if you return it sealed as if you return it used
