The condition of each product is as stated on its Product Information page. uBid.com has made a commitment to our customers to never intentionally mislead or hide any information about the quality of the products we sell. We classify the products on our auctions as New, Resealed, Manufacturer Recertified, Recertified, Used, Demo, and Off-Lease.

New
Many of the products at uBid.com are new, have never been used and may still be in their original packaging. These items come complete with manuals and other accessories, or they may be in an OEM box by themselves. OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer, and is a term used for a product that was manufactured as part of a larger whole (for example an OEM hard drive in a Pentium multimedia system). New OEM merchandise is not packaged for retail sale. These new products come in a plain box. Most merchandise classified as New carries a vendor warranty, but please refer to the Product page to be sure.

Resealed
These products are new, which means they have not been previously sold or used. In some cases they have been removed from their packaging for random testing or other purposes. Resealed products are checked to ensure that they function according to specifications and then repackaged and sealed. Most merchandise classified as Resealed carries a vendor warranty, but please refer to the Product page to be sure.

Manufacturer Recertified
Manufacturer Recertified products differ from other recertified products because they are restored to the exact manufacturer specifications by the original manufacturer in a certified recertifying center. In addition, these products typically come with the added advantage of a manufacturer warranty. These unused or used items have been returned to original manufacturers for various reasons: use in field tests, use in sales displays, and cancellations. They are then cleaned, quality checked and tested twice. They are also serviced, if needed, in the original manufacturer's recertifying center. Recertified products may come with minor blemishes and may come with or without manuals, batteries and back recovery disks. Please refer to the Product page for exact terms regarding warranty information and supplemental software.

Recertified
Recertified products are restored to specifications found on the Product Page by reputable recertifying companies. In addition, these products typically come with the added advantage of a manufacturer or recertifier warranty. These unused or used items have been returned for various reasons: use in field tests, use in sales displays, and cancellations. They are then cleaned, quality checked and tested twice. They are also serviced if needed, by a reputable recertifying company. Recertified products may come with minor blemishes and may come with or without manuals, batteries and back-recovery disks. A complete listing of accessories (if available) included with the recertified item will be provided on the uBid.com Product page. Please refer to the Product page for exact terms regarding warranty information and supplemental software.

Used
Unlike used items found at places other than uBid.com, these products have been thoroughly inspected and tested to ensure full functionality, though in some cases they may show signs of wear. Please refer to the Product page to see whether merchandise classified as Used carries a vendor warranty.

Demo
These products have never been owned by anyone and have undergone testing to ensure they function according to the manufacturer's specifications. Vendors will frequently put new products out for display or demonstration purposes. These items usually see very little, if any, use. Yet, some items may show minor signs of wear. Please refer to the Product page to see whether merchandise classified as Demo carries a vendor warranty.

Off-Lease
Off-lease refers to products that have been used by individuals or businesses for a contracted period of time. They are inspected and tested for full functionality, and then sold to uBid.com for resale. Please refer to the Product Page to see whether merchandise classified as Off-Lease carries a vendor warranty.
