📦 What Does “Overstock” or “Liquidation” Condition Mean?
Because we buy from retail overstock, shelf pulls, and auction lots, many items are brand-new or like-new, but the packaging may vary.
Here’s a breakdown of the common product conditions we sell:
| Condition | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Brand New / Sealed | Never opened, direct from overstock – perfect for gifting |
| Open Box | Product unused but box may be opened or slightly damaged |
| Scratch & Dent | Cosmetic flaws on exterior only – functionally perfect |
| Like-New | Fully tested, minimal signs of handling, may be reboxed |
| Grade A/B/C | Common with HVAC or automotive parts – based on visual condition |
We only list items that we can verify as functional, safe, and complete. You’ll see any known defects clearly called out in the product description.
