Its probably not stolen and probably is brand new. There's ways to get equipment from distributors. Shops are also required to buy a certain volume to maintain their dealer status. If they can't sell it on the floor they'll sell it out the back door for little money,but to maintain the required volume.
I've bought several audio things off ebay with little to no problem. Just don't expect any kind of warranty.

Bingo!
There are many reasons why they can offer these kind of prices.
Plus you also have to factor in good ol' mark-up. Car audio has a HUGE mark up!! My brother's Pioneer touch screen in his TT Supra was originally like $1k I think he paid like $600. He works at BB though. He has Alpine HU's in all his other cars that he got ridiculous deals on thanks to employee discount.
PLUS he has a warranty for all of them. And Best Buy warranty is actually pretty damn good on most things.
