Never Used -- in Sealed Box

They could be doing something like trying to buy things from places like www.harmanaudiooutlet.com and then make you THINK you're getting a deal for a NIB product at 1/3 off. But that's just a theory.

Those inventory liquidation people could be a source. Banks and creditors want cash.

I've seen equipment sold here, NIB, at slighltly lower than retail, however, much more than the same equipment that could have been purchased at www.ubid.com the week before! Some people are trying to make a fast buck.

This is what happens when you become an audio hoarder. 

I had that happen twice with my purchases on Audiogon.

I bought a PS Audio P10 power regenerator, when it arrived the factory tape hadn't been breached.  I reached out to the guy who sold it to me (at a loss, I suspect) and he said he bought one for each monoblock, didn't need two of them.  He was a Cardiologist.

The other sealed box was for a McIntosh MCD500 SACD player.  The guy was a high-end investment advisor and when he son found out that he ordered that, he worked with his dad to build a music server, so he didn't feel he needed the disk player.

Strange!
