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?

Also I sometimes think it's a way to sell a new item out of territory and but still make money on it.

Bingo! I once bought a pair of $1800 (retail) speakers from a dealer across the country. He had them listed as demos. When they showed up, the boxes had never been opened. I paid about $1200 for them, a good deal for me and of course he still made money.
