It has to be a big shop to hold stocks of unopened guns for every gun they have on the shelf as well (space being one thing and the stock holding money as well).
That's fair enough but surely theres some packaging you still leave in place to do that?
Admitedly the only gun I've had brand new was the Red Ryder so hardly a high end item but it did have stuff still left in place, you are though probably going to be the best authority here to tell a persepective buyer what to spot to make sure they have a good experiance.
