Product Condition Checklist — Liquidation Prime
At Liquidation Prime, all inventory is categorized using standardized condition types to help buyers clearly understand what they are purchasing.
Use this checklist as a guideline when evaluating each lot.
Product Conditions
New
Brand new, unused items in original packaging. Overstock inventory never sold at retail.
Packaging may show signs of wear or minor damage due to storage and handling over time.
Like New
Items appear unused and are generally close to new condition, but may show minor signs of handling, inspection, or storage. These items are often sourced from canceled orders, brief displays, or retail handling.
Due to the nature of liquidation inventory, both product and packaging condition may vary and can differ from original manufacturing standards. No guarantees are provided regarding original condition, completeness, or packaging integrity unless explicitly stated.
Shelf Pull
Items previously offered for sale in a retail environment but never sold. These products are typically new; however, they may have price tags, stickers, or signs of retail handling.
Due to store exposure and reverse logistics handling (movement between stores, warehouses, and distribution centers), items may show minor cosmetic wear, repackaging, or signs of additional handling.
As a result, both product and packaging condition can vary and may differ from original manufacturing standards. No guarantees are provided regarding packaging condition or presentation unless explicitly stated.
Customer Return
Items previously sold to a customer and returned through retail or shipping channels. Reasons for return may vary and do not necessarily reflect the actual condition or functionality of the item (e.g., wrong size, preference, or other non-defect reasons).
However, most return items will show some level of use, wear, or handling. Items may be open-box, used, incomplete, damaged, swapped, or non-functional.
Due to the reverse logistics process (movement from customer to store or warehouse), products may exhibit additional signs of handling and typically do not include original packaging, documentation, or accessories.
As a result, both product condition and completeness can vary significantly and may differ from original manufacturing standards. No guarantees are provided regarding functionality, completeness, or condition unless explicitly stated.
Used
Items that have been previously used and show visible signs of wear such as scratches, scuffs, dents, or general cosmetic imperfections.
Items may be functional, but functionality is not guaranteed. Signs of prior use, missing accessories, or incomplete sets are common.
Due to prior ownership and handling, products may not include original packaging, documentation, or all components.
As a result, overall condition and completeness can vary and may differ from original manufacturing standards. No guarantees are provided regarding functionality, completeness, or condition unless explicitly stated.
Refurbished
Items that have been previously used and have been inspected, tested, and restored to full working condition by a qualified third-party vendor.
While functionality is verified, items may show noticeable cosmetic wear such as scratches, dents, scuffs, or other signs of prior use.
Refurbished items typically do not include original packaging, documentation, or all accessories unless explicitly stated.
Due to prior use and the refurbishment process, overall condition and appearance may vary from original manufacturing standards. No guarantees are provided regarding cosmetic condition or completeness unless explicitly specified.
Salvage
Items identified as defective, heavily damaged, incomplete, or non-functional. These assets are not suitable for immediate use and are typically intended for repair, parts harvesting, or recycling.
Items may show severe cosmetic damage, missing components, or functional failure.
Due to the nature of salvage inventory, condition, completeness, and functionality can vary significantly and may differ from original manufacturing standards. No guarantees are provided regarding functionality or completeness.
Important Disclaimer
All liquidation lots are sold “As-Is” and “Where-Is.”
