Unable to audition used speakers a problem

One component I will not buy unless I can audition the item for sale are speakers. This severely limits available candidates, but that is OK with me. The problem is that whenever I find a local pair I would consider purchasing, the seller is unable to allow an audition because "they're boxed up". What's up with that? Wouldn't it make more sense to leave them connected or ready to be connected for at least a few weeks after they're listed for sale? Why box and seal them up before placing the ad? Does anyone else find this a problem or am I just being overly prudent?

Being from a small town originally, I am generally trusting of strangers who share a common interest with me. My wife, who is a native of Los Angeles, is not so trusting.

I am usually open to allowing auditions to local buyers, but my wife is less so. Considering our house was robbed several years ago, I can see her point.
