Why so many headphones for sale with less than 10 hours of listening time?

I could easily avoid this topic but I do have a comment. If someone wants to purchase any piece of high-end audio equipment (at full price), then sell it after only 10 hours use, I'm happy to buy it from them at 50% (or less) of their original purchase price. That's the basis of this website. People are impulsive, and (sorry for the cliche) their loss is my gain. No one forces them to do it. Speaking of headphones, I purchased a pair of Stax 009's on this site for about half of retail. They were practically new and came with the wooden box, extension cord and cover. No complaints here! 

Personally, it gives me no pleasure of taking advantage of imbeciles, either impulsive or not. Those people need help not being ripped off.

So then, I guess everyone here is an imbecile. Is that right?

Zavato--Excellent points and thank you for your input.

I have asked myself the same question!  I recently purchased a LCD3 w/ "less then 10 hours" on them.  And I am absolutely loving them!  While I can't confirm the validity of the usage, I assume now that issuing that statement "less then 10 hours" also means "these are in great condition...I may have used them for 500 hours...but you would not be able to tell."
