Condition and testing are different things
How an item looks and whether it works are not the same. A device can look almost new and still be untested. A used item, on the other hand, may have scratches while every function described works when tested. Look for both the condition grade and a separate description of the testing.
Every lot on Izsoli.lv has a condition grade from A+ to D, and the condition scale explains what each grade means. An «open box» label only tells you the box is no longer factory sealed. On its own, it confirms neither a complete set nor flawless operation. For a refurbished item, it helps to know who refurbished it and what was done.
Read the exceptions
The notes on defects and missing parts can matter more than the overall grade. Check whether the power supply, mounts, software licence and other essential parts are included. An accessory shown in a photo is not always part of what is being sold.
«Powers on» does not mean every program, port or the battery life has been tested. If you need a particular function, look for direct confirmation of it. Treat an item marked «Untested» as a risk and decide whether you can take on a possible repair.
Choose for your own needs
For everyday use, a clearly described working condition usually matters most, while an item with a known fault can be fine for repair. Compare individual items, because devices of the same model differ in wear, contents and how thoroughly they were tested.
