Condition Guide
How We Grade Pre-Owned Items
Every item on SBS Pre-Owned has been individually inspected, tested, and graded by our team. Here’s what each grade means:
Like New
Unused or as-new condition. All accessories included. Original packaging may be opened or missing. You’d be hard-pressed to tell it from new.
Example: TV returned sealed, box opened for inspection only.
Good
Minor cosmetic marks only. Fully functional and tested. May have light scratches or scuffs not visible from normal viewing distance.
Example: Laptop with light mark on lid, perfect screen.
Fair
Visible wear or cosmetic damage. Fully functional. May be missing non-essential accessories. All defects are described and photographed.
Example: Washing machine with dent on side panel, works perfectly.
Acceptable
Significant cosmetic wear. Fully functional with noted limitations. May be missing accessories. Best value — all defects clearly described.
Example: Vacuum cleaner with heavy scratches, all functions work.
