Product Conditions

Purchasing B2B liquidation merchandise is a great way to stock your shelves, however, it is not like purchasing new-to-market inventory. Please pay careful attention to the auction description and photos; familiarize yourself with Supplyforsale.com’s product conditions as defined below:

All Inventory (except mobile)

New

Never sold at retail, these items are functional and ready for resale.

Refurbished

Restored to full working condition, may have cosmetic issues; unless otherwise stated, they may not include manuals, components, and original packaging.

Shelf Pulls

Never sold at retail, but may show signs of customer contact; may have incomplete or damaged packaging.

Customer Returns

Purchased at retail and returned for any reason. May need repair before reselling; pay attention to the seller’s dispute and transaction history and bid accordingly.

Used

These items work, but may have some cosmetic and functionality issues; accessories, such as batteries and chargers may not be included. May need repair before they are ready for resale.

Our new Mobile Grades are based on industry-wide standards developed by CTIA in conjunction with stakeholders including major wireless carriers like AT&T and Verizon and secondary market resellers like supplyforsale.com.

Inventory conditions for cell phones are now limited to: New, Used or Salvage.

We no longer recognize the condition types of “Customer Returns”, “Refurbished”, etc. for cell phones and other mobile devices.

All other phones are now described as “Used” condition and must include a Grade.
