📦 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.
