hehehehehhe, for anyone interested, here is the latest.  Received today, the latest message in my epic support-ticket-saga, with pages and pages of history that the person obviously didn't even glance at:

> Dear Edward,
> Thank you for contacting Newegg. 
> May I ask if the two drives are opened or not? Do you still have the retail box with the UPC code and all the accessories if applicable?

:-)   I mean, it sucks.  But I can't help laughing and smiling, because it's so far over the line.    :-)   Needless to say, I replied, describing bare drives, anti-static bag, bubble wrap.  Original.  No accessories and no UPC codes.  Exactly as newegg shipped to me.
