Ted's grading

How We Grade

Every item on the floor gets inspected and given one of five honest grades before it's listed. Here's exactly what each one means, so you know what you're buying before it ships.

New

Factory sealed or unused

Never used, still sealed or in original packaging. This is the same product you'd buy at full retail, just priced like overstock.

Returnable within 7 days. Manufacturer warranty usually applies.

Overstock

Unused surplus

Never used, but the box may be scuffed, relabeled, or replaced. The item itself is untouched. Perfect when you care about the product, not the packaging.

Returnable within 7 days.

Open Box

Opened, inspected, complete

Someone opened it and sent it back. We check that it's complete and, if it plugs in, we power it on. Any cosmetic marks are photographed on the listing.

Returnable within 7 days.

Used · Tested

Previously used and working

Genuinely used gear that we've inspected and tested. Expect normal wear, and expect to see it in the photos. We shoot the actual unit you're buying.

Returnable within 7 days.

Parts / As-Is

Exactly what it says

Incomplete, untested, or not working as intended. We say what's wrong in the listing and price it accordingly. Great for repairs, parts, and projects.

Final sale. Not returnable.

Our inspection promise

  • We photograph the actual unit, not a stock image
  • If it plugs in, we plug it in
  • Flaws get photographed, not hidden
  • If a grade is wrong, we make it right

We would rather lose a sale than sell you a surprise. If something shows up graded wrong, call us and we'll make it right, no argument.
