# Product Condition, Tags, Descriptions, Notes!!!

## At Buywander, every item is a retail return or overstock — so condition varies. We give you all the info you need up front: condition categories, item tags, and detailed notes. Here’s what they mean:

#### Condition Categories

These describe **cosmetic appearance** and/or whether an item is functional:

- **Appears New** — Looks brand new or unused, functional.
- **Gently Used** — Minor wear, functional.
- **Used** — Noticeable wear, functional.
- **Heavy Use** — Significant wear, functional.

Some items need repairs to work properly:

- **Easy Fix** — Requires a simple fix (like replacing a screw, part, or fuse) to regain functionality.
- **Major Fix** — Requires significant repair or replacement of parts to be functional again.

#### Item Tags

Tags give you extra details about functionality and cosmetics:

- **Functional** — Item works as intended.
- **Appears Functional** — Looks like it should work but wasn’t fully tested.
- **Tested** — Verified to work during processing.
- **Turned On** — Powers on but wasn’t fully tested.
- **Missing Packaging** — Original packaging not included.
- **Damaged Packaging** — Box is torn, dented, or incomplete.
- **Scratch and Dent** — Cosmetic imperfections present.
- **Needs Cleaning** — Item has surface dirt/dust but should clean up.

#### Notes

- Notes provide **important extra details** about an item.
- They highlight anything not obvious in the photos or condition tags (e.g., “missing hardware,” “cosmetic scratch,” “only includes 2 chairs out of 4”).
- Always read notes carefully before bidding.

#### Quick Summary

- **Condition categories** = overall look + functionality.
- **Tags** = specific cosmetic or functional details.
- **Notes** = extra context you need before purchasing.
