I've had a similar experience with a bad microphone:  I bought a kit of
three for $1800 around a decade ago, and one of them was quite naff.  So
I sent it back for replacement, the replacement that came back was the
one that I'd returned.  It came back in the box with my gaffer tape
still over the end, and the microphone inside the box was definitely the
same one (it had a tiny, and very identifiable scratch, where nobody
else would notice).  Needless to say that the sales rep was highly
embarrassed.
