We approach every item with the same level of care and professionalism we bring to our custom installation clients. Most equipment is removed directly from working systems and goes through a thorough process before listing.
| Step | What We Do |
|---|---|
| Power On | Device is powered on and confirmed operational |
| Input Verification | All ports, inputs, and outputs tested where applicable |
| Remote Function | Remote control and pairing confirmed where included |
| Cosmetic Inspection | Condition assessed and accurately described in the listing |
| Professional Cleaning | Item cleaned before packaging |
| Firmware Update | Updated to latest compatible firmware where applicable (Refurbished items) |
Most products in our store are pre-owned. Cosmetic wear may vary depending on age and prior use. All used products are tested for basic functionality prior to listing unless otherwise stated.
Product images may represent a similar item and may not always be the exact serial-numbered unit shipped, but the item received will match the listing description and specifications.
New items have never been used or installed. Some products may remain factory sealed, while others may have been removed from original packaging for inspection or photography. Certain listings may use manufacturer-supplied stock images when appropriate.
Refurbished products are professionally inspected, tested, and factory reset where applicable. Items are updated to the latest compatible firmware version available prior to listing ? something most sellers do not offer.
Items listed as Parts Only may not have completed our full testing process and are sold for repair, parts harvesting, or restoration purposes. Unless otherwise stated, Parts Only items are sold AS-IS and are not eligible for returns.
All items are packaged carefully to help ensure safe delivery. Fragile and high-value items receive additional protective materials as needed. Whenever possible, we reuse and repurpose shipping materials to reduce waste and support environmentally responsible practices.
We stand behind everything we sell. Eligible items are covered by the eBay 30-Day Money Back Guarantee in accordance with eBay policies.
Please feel free to message us through eBay with any questions regarding compatibility, condition, shipping, or product details.
We respond to all messages within 24 business hours.
