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.
-

Notes

Always read notes carefully before bidding.
