Graded items, sometimes called "seconds" or B grade stock, are brand new items that have been returned to the original retailer or manufacturer.
There are many possible reasons for this: unwanted gifts, cosmetically marked items, missing parts, minor faults, damaged boxes or even simple delivery errors. In many cases, it can be hard to distinguish a graded stock item from a perfect one.
We put all products through an exhaustive quality control programme in our workshops. We correct any technical faults so that it functions like new, and we test it to ensure that any remaining imperfections are purely cosmetic. Only when an item has been thoroughly tested in this way and we are completely satisfied that it functions as it should, do we sell it again to our customers.

- A graded item will cost substantially less than the same item brand new.
