AK prevails again...
I sent an email to them, explaining that they probably did NOT have a 'new, unopened' Lux....and why.
Here are the emails (2) I got back..

Hi Gary,
Your friend is obviously overlooking the sealed tape in the photo. Besides that, inside this is going to be popcorn and paper wrapping the unit. While it's true that it was originally double boxed, this inner box for this unit is still sealed. I have another piece, an L-100 from the same source, with it's original double box. Inside that is the inner box and inside that is popcorn and paper wrapping the unit.
Based on your skepticism, I strongly advise against bidding on this unit. We know what we have and so will some lucky winner. We didn't get 100% positive feedback by being idiots.
Regards,
Mark

Hello Gary,
I'm writing again from the vantage point of humility...after thrashing things over with Jeff, we tenderly opened the L-100 that was only partially sealed. It turns out you are absolutely correct and we are indeed idiots. The consignee has misinformed us and we will now cancel the auctions.
Please accept my apologies.
Regards,
Mark
Thanks to AK everyone may end up OK in this.
Thanks! Gary
