FWIW the old "I'm selling unclaimed/reneged/incorrect inventory" pitch is almost always a ruse. My dad was a sales rep for a furniture company. They don't actually allow the shippers to sell their returned inventory. It goes back to the factory so that it can be assessed and the account can be reconciled. What these guys are typically selling is gray market a/o off-brand items.
But the people who sell this stuff can be pretty shady. I wouldn't surprised if some of them were up for burglary, given the opportunity.
