What is Repack/Ex-demo?

As the distributor for lots of brands, we often have products that have been used for a demonstration, by an endorsee, or that have undergone repair and are now available for resale - we badge these as "repack" units. All of our repacked units are considered to be in a sellable condition and well-worthy of their price tag. All repacked units come with a 30-day warranty unless otherwise noted.
