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.

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.
