Condition Definition |
| Brand New in Retail Box |
This item is brand new and
has never been used. It comes in the manufacturer's original
retail box and is sealed. |
| Brand New (OEM) |
This item is brand new and
has never been used. It does not come in a retail box and is
shipped in plain white or brown boxes instead. Generally,
you can save money by purchasing OEM products simply because
you're not paying for the extra marketing and the fancy box
that accompany products at retail stores. |
| Brand New (Open Box) |
These are generally brand
new products. We may have opened the box to examine the
contents or for picture taking purposes. The item may not
have been used physically and may still be in unused
condition. |
| Refurbished |
This item is refurbished.
This means that the product was once purchased and returned.
Customers return products for many reasons: a customer may
change his or her mind, not like the product, or have
difficulty operating it. Whether it is returned a month
later or only the very next day, such an item must be
identified as reconditioned or refurbished to be resold.
Refurbished products have been
inspected, tested and restored to full working condition by
the manufacturer or service center. They may feature new
housings or other new parts, or they may simply be used but
have been fully tested and recertified.
A refurbished product may
have serial numbers blackened out or removed. Unless
otherwise noted in the auction description, refurbished
products are usually packaged and shipped in non-retail
boxes/packages. Certain non-critical components such as
cables, manuals or accessories may not be included. Quite
often, manuals and drivers are available by the manufacturer
through their website.
Similar to the Brand New
items, refurbished products may come in Refurbished Retail
Boxes, or Refurbished OEM. |
