STEP 01
Source
We buy overstock, shelf pulls, and inspected returns direct from liquidation auctions run by major US retailers. Not mystery pallets. Not someone's garage.
How we run it
Nothing ships that didn't pass the check.
Most of this industry treats the buyer as the person who eats the risk. We run it the other way around.
STEP 02
Inspect
Every item passes through our hands. Opened, checked, tested where testable. If it would not pass our check, it does not get listed.
STEP 03
Grade
The standard auction scale, A through E, with every letter defined in plain English on the listing. What the listing says is what the box holds.
Authorized reseller, sourcing direct from the official liquidation programs of:
Costco
Best Buy
Target
Walmart
Amazon
Government Liquidations
Independent reseller. Retailer names identify sourcing channels only; no affiliation or endorsement implied.
The condition legend
Run the check yourself.
Press and hold. This is what every single item goes through before it earns a listing.
Grade A / New
Factory sealed, never opened.
Overstock and shelf pulls, exactly what you would take off a store shelf.
Grade B / Like New, Open Box
Opened, complete, unused.
Checked complete and tested where testable. The box lost its seal, not its contents.
Grade C / Good
Fully functional, honest wear.
Light shelf or handling wear, works as intended. Every flaw photographed.
Grade D / Fair
Works, wears its miles, priced for it.
Visible wear or a missing accessory, disclosed up front. The price says so too.
Grade E / Salvage
For parts or repair, and it says so.
Sold as-is and labeled that way. Never passed off as anything more.
The standard auction scale, every letter defined in plain English right on the listing. No manifest fine print, no surprises.

Who is watching
A career built on not missing things.
Check six is what aircrews say when they mean watch your back. I spent my military career standing watch, where the whole job is catching what others miss. That habit does not switch off.
Check Six Trading Co runs on that habit. We check the goods so you never buy blind.
Owned and operated by a US military veteran, based in Northern Virginia. No hype, no costume, just the standard.

Fair questions
Asked by people who got burned elsewhere.
Q.01Is this company legit?
Fair question. This category is full of stores that pop up and disappear. Check Six Trading Co LLC is a registered Virginia limited liability company, and that registration is public record you can look up with the state. We are veteran owned and operated, messages get answered by a real person on the team, and our marketplace feedback is public before you spend a dollar.
Q.02Why is it so cheap? What's the catch?
No catch, just sourcing. We buy overstock, shelf pulls, and inspected returns in bulk from liquidation auctions run by major US retailers, below wholesale. You get the gap between what we paid and retail. If a price ever looks too good to be true, that sourcing story is the explanation.
Q.03Is this stuff used, broken, or someone else's junk?
Not on our watch. That is the whole point of the name. Every item is opened, inspected, and tested where testable before it is listed, then graded on the standard A to E auction scale, A new through E salvage, with the meaning spelled out and the actual condition photographed on every listing.
Q.04Where do you ship from, and how long does it take?
Everything ships from our location in Northern Virginia. Nothing dropshipped from overseas. Orders go out fast with real tracking that actually updates, and shipping costs are shown up front before you buy, never after.
Q.05What happens if something is wrong with my order?
You message us, and a real person on the team answers and makes it right. If an item is not as described, that is on us, not you. No all-sales-final trapdoor, no fake tracking stall, no weeks of silence.
Q.06Are you actually veteran-owned, or is that marketing?
Check Six is owned and operated by a US military veteran. That is the specific claim, and the only one we make. We do not wrap the site in flags or claim any military endorsement. The name and the standards are the military part. The deals have to earn the rest.
The next step
Message the team.
A question, an item you are hunting for, a deal on the table, or just checking we are real. All good reasons. You will hear back from a real person, fast.
