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!
