This tablet is sold in broken condition. Few things to note:
Physically the device is in decent condition. No cracks or major scratches on the screen and the screen works perfectly. One small bit of plastic broken off on the side.
It is currently soft bricked. I am able to boot the device into recovery (TWRP) and download mode. Can connect to it with ADB/fastboot as well. Just Have not had any luck getting it to boot
This is a Pyro tab. This is a tablet that was recalled due to battery issues. Recall was processed and I received a replacement. This means you need to either flash a custom ROM or disable the Nvidia software before connecting to the internet if you manage to get it to boot. Else Nvidia will brick the tablet as it was replaced
If you are not comfortable or do not understand any of the above then do NOT buy this tablet. It will just be an expensive paper weight

Q - nVidia replaced, it but nVidia will brick it? I'm confused.

Did nVidia send you a replacement, allowing you to keep the original, and this is the original, hence them blocking it?

That is correct. I recieved a replacement and this is the original. Sometimes refered to as a "Pyro tab"
