CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN TO ME THIS?


What is ad copy like this supposed to mean?
"These speakers were bought brand new from authorized (speaker name) l vendor alittle over a year ago. They were opened for inspection and tested for performance. They have less than 2 minutes of usage and they are flawless."

the speakers are being sold at almost 50% less than retail. Why would someone buy speakers then "test them" for two minutes, then sell them a year later? What is a potential buyer supposed to think?

This is also a method of selling "gray market" equipment. That is, directly imported audio equipment which bypasses the authorized USA importer/distributor/retailer network. This method will usually violate any manufacturers warranty. Checking the serial numbers with the distributor or manufacturer will clarify whether the speakers were actually purchased from an authorized vendor. Most buyers don't bother to check because the "deal" could evaporate.
