Is this normal?


I recently inquired from one of the sellers here about a product of theirs. They did open the product and used it then repackaged the product.  I asked if pictures could be taken of the product inside the box and this is the response that I was given:

No, sorry. You can't tell the difference in this from a brand new one. It went from the box to a new audio shelf and was used about 50 hrs but probably much less. I am sure more pictures would help with it's sale but sometimes even in this crazy world you just have to trust what someone says. Also I sell on Ebay as xxxxxxxx  so you can check my feedback there and here on Audiogon. Thanks for your interest.

So, is this a normal practice on this site or should I not purchase this product? Just wanting to acquire some feedback seeing as how I am a very new member and this would be my first purchase.

If you are still curious, look up the  member's handle-name and check their feedback.  The seller is either a scammer and thinks people are really stupid, or just a really bad lazy seller. No photos, no proof, no help, buyer beware of this "crazy world" seller.  Pass.    
Everyone! Thanks for your input. I will definitely follow my instincts and not purchase from this seller. I am looking for an Emotiva BasX-100. If anyone knows of a seller of this item please let me know!!
Buy everything new its fun to pay list or maybe get a dealer that will give 20% off.Good luck.
Your instinct may be correct and since you have the doubt it will never go away.
