So, between the lines you would like to say that in Romania is a big black market (no receipt and warranty -> avoiding taxes) where maybe these "resellers" also selling phones which were stolen in other EU member states?
But please, let's stop this discussion here. It's a bit off topic. All I wanted to point out in the first place is that proof of purchase can be difficult to obtain it multiple situations.

Sealed box doesn't proof anything, here is example: 4.000 stolen (sealed) iPhones. Same is with attaching receipt here, which is in my opinion pointless request, because nobody can check it's authentic. Also the fact that I'm member of this forum already 1 year, doesn't proof that I'm honest and that I'm not asking for unlocking code for other, maybe stolen, phone.
Regarding "resellers" I could tell just this, if everything is legal, then there is no reason why second or third buyer in the line would not get papers for legal purchase abroad. Last year I bought a phone for my friend who lives in non-EU country. He got from me the phone in a sealed box and with all my purchase papers. If he's going to sell the phone to the next buyer in his country, he will give him also these papers.

@geojoking
If you are going to buy second hand phone which has 24 month warranty (what is the case with N900 in EU), you will also obtain receipt and warranty certificate from first owner which he got when he bought the phone.
As we know N900 was released in December 2009, so you do the math!
So, I also ended up finding the reset instructions from this thread, and reset the code to my own.

Well about the checking of the phone's manufacturing date. At least in Romania, in order to have valid warranty, you need to provide proof or purchase along the warranty certificate. They check to see if the phone is in warranty but unless you bring the receipt and/or invoice, it's null...
