NEW/OVER
STOCK
New assets are in original packaging and possess all of the characteristics/qualities/features
as advertised by the manufacturer. Traditionally, they are overstock items
that were never offered for sale in a retail environment or used in any
way.
REFURBISHED
Refurbished assets are used but have been inspected, tested, and restored
to full working condition. They rarely come in original packaging and
seldom contain any documentation or any additional parts and/or accessories.
Due to their operational history, refurbished assets possess noticeable
cosmetic defects and blemishes, including but not limited to dents, scratches,
and signs of age.
SHELF
PULLS
Shelf Pulls were previously available for sale in a retail environment
but were never sold. They usually possess one or more price tags and/or
stickers, indicating multiple markdowns and have been exposed to appreciable
customer contact. In addition, since most of these items are sent through
a reverse supply chain (e.g., from a retailer back to a centralized warehouse),
they can show signs of further handling. Accordingly, Shelf Pulls can
exhibit a wide range of individual product and package conditions that
can differ substantially from the original manufacturing.
USED
Used Assets were previously sold and put into use. They possess noticeable
cosmetic defects and blemishes, including but not limited to dents, scratches,
and signs of age. Since these assets are usually pulled from a working
environment, they rarely come in original packaging and hardly ever contain
any documentation or any additional parts and/or accessories. They are
minimally tested to meet only the most basic requirements of functionality.
Used assets therefore may not be in optimal working condition and can
require additional maintenance and repair.
RETURNS
Returns were sold to a customer, who then either physically brought the
item back to a store or mailed it to a specified location. Reasons for
returning a product may not have any correlation to its usefulness (i.e.,
size, color, model, etc.), and as a result that product may be in fine
working order. The majority of Returns, however, do have some operational
and/or cosmetic problem. Depending on a company's return policy, these
items may also reflect a measurable amount of use. In addition, since
most of these items are sent through a reverse supply chain (e.g., from
a customer back to a store or a centralized warehouse), they can show
signs of further handling. They generally do not come in original packaging
and often do not have any of the advertised documentation or additional
parts and/or accessories. Accordingly, Returns can exhibit a wide range
of individual product and package conditions that can differ substantially
from the original manufacturing.
SALVAGE
Salvage assets have been identified as defective for reasons concerning
their functionality, appearance, or both. Salvage assets usually can only
be used for parts. |
