We bought a house in the Houston area in 1976 that the same couple had
lived in for ten years, they had it built new for them. The range top
and double oven had never been used! The manuals were still in the
plastic bags and all the other stuff that comes with new appliances. I
asked why and their answer was that they both worked, had hobbies that
took up time, never cooked, always either ate out or brought take out
home with them. I was totally flabbergasted as was DW.

The stove and oven were definitely used when we moved out four years later.
