Plug device catalog: model fields and condition grades
See how Plug listings separate device models, configuration, condition grades, battery claims, accessory compatibility, and changing warranty and return terms.
Plug sells pre-owned devices alongside accessories and bundles
Plug describes itself as a U.S. provider of Certified Pre-Owned consumer electronics. Its About page says Plug is not affiliated with, authorized by, sponsored by, or approved by the device manufacturers; brand names identify the products discussed, not a manufacturer relationship.

| Catalog family | How Plug groups the listings | Record boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Phones | iPhone and Android families | Keep the model separate from the chosen color, storage, condition, and carrier state. |
| Tablets and computers | iPad and MacBook families | Use device-specific specifications; phone-only fields may not apply. |
| Watches and audio | Smartwatches, headphones, and audio products | Do not assume every model exposes the same specification fields. |
| Accessories | Accessories grouped in part by device family | Keep the accessory item separate from any explicitly listed device compatibility. |
| Bundles and sets | Starter packs and other grouped offers | Represent components as a bundle relationship, not as device options. |
| Other collection formats | The collections page also presents mystery-tech products | A collection format does not identify a device model or its specifications. |
Model specifications and selected options are separate fields
A reviewed Plug device detail page displays technical specifications beside selectable configuration values. The exact fields differ by device type, so keep model identity, specifications, and the currently selected option distinct.

| Field group | Examples visible in the reviewed device detail | How to interpret it |
|---|---|---|
| Model identity | Model, brand, series, manufacturer | These describe the device listing; Plug states it is not affiliated with the manufacturers. |
| Technical specification | Screen size and type, 5G compatibility, connector | Record only fields present for that category and model. |
| Selected configuration | Color, storage, and condition | These are selectable listing options and can affect which offer is displayed. |
| Carrier state | Unlocked or tied to a carrier | Keep the source's stated lock status separate from general network compatibility. |
| Source identifier | No clear SKU appeared in the reviewed specification block | Capture an identifier only when the listing exposes one; do not infer a SKU from its URL or model name. |
Condition grades describe appearance, while battery claims need their own scope
Plug's current Device Conditions page uses Excellent, Great, and Good and describes them as cosmetic grades. Inspection, functionality, warranty, and battery statements are separate source claims; they should not be collapsed into one condition score.

| Source label or statement | What Plug says | Scope to preserve |
|---|---|---|
| Excellent | Close to new, with no visible wear from arm's length | A cosmetic description from Plug's condition page. |
| Great | May show light scratches or small nicks | A cosmetic description; do not convert it into a performance rating. |
| Good | May show visible scratches and small dents | A cosmetic description; Plug says the device remains functional. |
| Inspection and functionality | Plug says devices pass its inspection and remain fully functional across the grades | Attribute this as Plug's statement, not as an independent product test. |
| Battery statement | One reviewed iPhone detail page states an 80%+ battery-health floor | This is a claim on that phone page, not a measurement of a specific unit or a rule for every category. |
Accessories and starter packs create compatibility relationships
Plug's collection navigation groups some accessories by device family, while starter packs combine a device with other items. An accessory's own options, its stated compatible device, and the contents of a bundle answer different catalog questions.

| Record | Useful relationship | Boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Device accessory | Accessory identity and its own color or other displayed option | Do not treat an accessory option as a device option. |
| Compatibility | The specific device family or model named on the source listing | Leave the relationship unknown when Plug does not state it; do not infer fit from brand alone. |
| Starter pack or bundle | The device and included accessory components | Keep the bundle composition separate from each component's own options. |
| Collection placement | The device family under which Plug groups an accessory | Collection placement is a browse aid and is not, by itself, a complete compatibility guarantee. |
Price, stock, warranty, and returns depend on context
Displayed price and availability can change with the selected configuration and the time or market where a listing is viewed. Plug's own Terms also say site details about price, promotions, shipping, transit times, and availability can contain errors or omissions and may not be refreshed on a stated schedule.

| Listing or policy signal | What to retain | Source-specific caution |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Displayed amount, currency, selected option, and observation time | Do not treat a current price or promotion as an evergreen product fact. |
| Availability | Status for the selected listing option and observation time | A page-level status may change and does not describe private inventory. |
| Warranty | Plug's warranty page describes a 12-month warranty | Coverage and claim terms belong to the current linked policy. |
| Return period | The Returns page says 30 days from shipment; Shipping and Refund Policies says 30 days from delivery | The official pages use different starting points; preserve the discrepancy and consult the linked current policy text. |
Policies and crawler directives define the evidence boundary
This page is an information reference dated to a source review on 2026-10-07 in Singapore (2026-10-06 UTC). Plug's policies and robots file describe different things: terms text sets the site's stated conditions, while robots directives give crawlers path guidance and do not grant permission.

| Evidence | What the reviewed source says | Limit for this guide |
|---|---|---|
| Terms, Section 12 — Prohibited Uses | The site text bars using the site or its content to collect or track others' personal information, or to spider, crawl, or scrape. | Attribute the terms text; do not offer a legal conclusion or an access workaround. |
| Terms, Section 11 — Errors, Inaccuracies and Omissions | Plug says product descriptions, prices, offers, shipping, transit times, and availability may contain errors or omissions, and it has no stated refresh obligation. | Use linked source pages for current details; do not present changing storefront facts as verified current values. |
| Privacy Policy | The rendered page text shows an April 27, 2021 date and the name eCommsell; a search listing for the same URL reports a Plug-specific September 14, 2026 revision. | The public representations conflict. Read the current first-party page directly; this guide does not summarize personal-data practices. |
| robots.txt and sitemap | The default block allows `/`, but gives specific rules for cart, checkout, orders, most account paths, services, and filtered or sorted collections; narrower Allow exceptions also appear. It declares `https://www.plug.tech/sitemap.xml`. | These are crawler directives, not authorization. Do not infer API, feed, or adapter support from them. |
| Public API/feed documentation | No product-catalog API or feed documentation surfaced in the first-party pages and searches reviewed on 2026-10-07. | This is a bounded search result, not proof that no interface exists or that any access is permitted. |
