Hate to mention that 'unused' doesn't mean perfect condition.

Consider startup or major company - crunch that production line .... scrap the inventory.

The inventory is sold in large containers - not off the shelves. So transformers
and transistors might get into the same bucket. Maybe a big transformer was dumped in
on top or just the other 100...

What really matters is if it will mount, and function. Can it be used.

If you wanted new in a box - buy NIB.
