You can argue the point all you want but the answer is the same. You wanted to know why and it has been stated several times by experienced people. It is what it is and it ain't changing. Welcome to the real world.

Use the words "rare" and "Collectible" and increase the price by $200. I've seen this used successfully on this very forum.

Well, if Grandma had wheels, she'd be a streetcar. But she doesn't, and she's not.
The only sealed new firearm of which I am familiar is the Mossberg Shockwave which is shrink wrapped to a piece of corrugated cardboard. A dealer friend sold one to a customer who brought it back two months later, still sealed, and exchanged it and cash for a pistol. My dealer friend gave the guy 70% of what he paid for the Shockwave, then turned around and put a tag price on it that was $35 less than the new, not-previously-owned Shockwaves in inventory. "Previously Owned" the tag stated, despite being "sealed." He would tell customers, "Anybody with shrink wrap, a Seal-a-Meal, and a hair dryer can make a Shockwave look like that. It looks factory to me, but I have no way of knowing; you're looking at a used gun."

If something has a factory seal that is not broken then the item could have never been used thus making it factory new since the factory is the ones who placed the seal on it in the first place.
I sold two older model train sets that were factory sealed as new old stock that I had for over 30 years.
And yes I did get the amount I was asking for them since I posted them as new old stock - never used.
Exact ones that were used only brought half the price.
Firearms are different this way and of course automobiles are.
They get used so that is what they are.
