Either a gift they didnt want, perhaps a prize they didnt want, an impulse buy that they didnt like the look of... or they are just full of excrement.

perhaps ? Maybe they mean never put 10 pellets down the barrel / shot a few (what is a few ?)
If you drive it off the lot IT IS USED .

New, never fired. . . before I dropped it.
New, never fired. . . before I ‘tuned’ it and f’d it up.
New, never fired. . . just as I found it on someone’s porch.

How many people can TRULY have a new gun in front of them & not take at least a couple shots to see how it "fits"? I couldn't do it so if I ever post an ad like that DON'T BELIEVE ME!

Yeah, new never fired puts up a big red light for me. Just hard to imagine how that would happen.

New, Never fired it? Yeah, wouldn't believe that for a second!
Years back, my .22 caliber Weihrauch HW100 was delivered in the dead of winter. Got home from work, in the dark and 10 degree temperatures I was out plinking with it, bare gun, before I had even mounted a scope... I had waited over a year for it to be available and I was a "little bit" excited to finally have one in my hands!
Can't see any shooter not trying a new airgun. I got a new PCP yesterday - shot it out the back door within minutes of unboxing.

Or could the term be ? ...... I was thinking of Burning it, but decided to sell it instead. Thus NEVER FIRING

First off, it's BS right from the start. Even the cheapest Crosman guns get test fired.
There are videos of the top tier guys testifying that thier guns are "1 MOA" tested and so forth.
100% of the guns and barrels I sell are test fired, almost always from a ransom type rest.
I can't fault someone for using the term but honestly, I don't want a gun that hasn't been tested.

I've had a couple of guns I bought new and posted new unfired because I hadn't fired them but I sure the maker tested fired so in retrospect I really shouldn't have posted them as unfired same is true for any gun be it a powder burner or air they were all fired, just my 2cents.

pretty much 0 if honest. How you going to tell almost impossible.How many people can TRULY have a new gun in front of them & not take at least a couple shots to see how it "fits"? I couldn't do it so if I ever post an ad like that DON'T BELIEVE ME!

New never fired means they bought it new, got it but never got to shot it due or work, wife, live, etc. If they shot the gun even once, it's consider used.

It just up and quit on it's own , i never fired it .

If the end user shot it, I agree, it's now used.
NIB is good, I like to know if it's been handed around.
