We Buy Supplies in Almost Any Box Condition
One of the most common questions sellers ask us is: "My boxes are not in perfect condition will you still buy them?" In most cases, yes. Surplus Toner Buyer has developed a detailed box condition grading system that allows us to evaluate and price items across a wide range of packaging states.
The condition of the product inside the box matters most. If the OEM cartridge, drum, fuser, or other supply is new and unused, there is a good chance we are interested regardless of what the outside of the box looks like.
Box Condition Rating Scale: A Through F + PG
Grade A Perfect
A grade box is perfect & factory sealed: box that has no labels, tape, tape residue, writing, dents, or rips.
Grade B Almost Perfect
B grade box is almost perfect & factory sealed: box may have some small creases, scuffs, dents, or labels that can be professionally removed without damaging the box.
Grade C Good Shape
C grade box has minor damage & is factory sealed: box may have small holes, dents, creases, rips, lightly crushed corners, writing, water damage, etc.
Grade D More Wear
D grade box has heavy damage & is factory sealed: boxes that have large holes, crushed corners, severe water damage, cut outs, etc
Grade F Previously Opened Box
F grade box is an open box: damage to the box itself can vary.
Grade PG Plug (No Box)
A PG-rated item is a genuine OEM cartridge or supply that has no original box at all. The unit is sealed in its original bag and bubble-wrapped for protection. These items are shipped in a plain brown corrugated box. PG units are fully genuine OEM products they simply lack their original retail packaging.
