Americans - Can you explain this scam? Has this happened to you?

5 times in the last 5 years, i've had someone in another vehicle approach me in a parking lot or at a stop light and try to sell me a home theater system, high end tv etc with some bullshit story about how its all legit - i.e. too many were sent to a location and they need to get rid of 3 or some retarded type BS excuse which still doesn't explain how a piece of high end electronics suddenly has no owner.

This has happened in 3 cities. It's happened 2 times in the city where I currently live in the last 6 months.

So obviously, there is something going on... some common scam. Stolen from COSCO or something?

The guy who approached me today in a gas station parking lot was with a partner in a new Escalade, both wearing shirts from an audio store asking me if I wanted to buy a 3D Tv, claiming it was intended for a new sports bar up the street but that they had 3 extras due to a "mixup" (again, doesn't explain how it suddenly has no owner).

So what is going on? New high end electronics, still in the box, with paperwork being sold by random dudes driving around? I could understand if it was one random event... but obviously there is some common scam here.
