I don't think there is necessarily anything wrong with someone selling review units, unless they are given them on the premise they won't be sold on for profit (I don't think retailers put any conditions on review products they send to people?).

However, selling them without labelling them as used review/test units seems very dodgy. Here in the UK The Trades Descriptions Act states that goods have to be described accurately, not sure if there is anything similar in the US?

It's just yet another in the long list of reasons to not look at that website unless you really, really have no choice!
