We Own and Stand Behind Our Inventory
Capovani is not a broker or a marketplace. Every piece of equipment we list is fully owned and stored in our Scotia, New York facility. That means when you see an item on our website, it is physically on hand, evaluated and listed accurately.
Why this matters
- What you see reflects what ships. Each listing shows the actual unit. For multiple-quantity items, photos represent the same model in comparable condition.
- No sourcing delays. Everything is on our floor, so there is no waiting for a broker to locate or transfer equipment.
- Full ownership, full accountability. We own what we sell, so we stand behind how it is described.
How We Evaluate Our Equipment
Not every item we sell goes through the same process, and we think it's important to be upfront about that.
- Working & Warranted
- Tested and confirmed functional at the time of sale. Any issues found are addressed before the item ships.
- 30 Day Return
- Evaluated on physical condition. In some cases an item may have been powered on or briefly assessed, and any relevant details are noted in the listing.
- As-is No Return
- Sold on condition alone with no testing implied.
Each product listing clearly notes which coverage applies. For a full breakdown, see How Our Listings Work or read the Returns & Warranty Policy.
Honest Descriptions and Accurate Photos
We believe clarity prevents surprises. Every listing includes the condition of the item, accessories included in the sale, and photos of an actual unit from our inventory.
- Condition is noted on every listing. You'll know the state of the item before you buy.
- Photos show a real item from our inventory. For multiple-quantity listings, the unit you receive may not be the exact one pictured but will be in similar condition.
- Accessories and inclusions are clearly listed. What's described on the product page is what ships to your facility.
