scratch and dent
Cosmetically flawed merchandise
Scratch and dent describes merchandise—typically appliances—that has minor cosmetic damage but functions normally.
Retailers sell scratch-and-dent items at a discount: We got the refrigerator from the scratch-and-dent section for half price.
The phrase can extend to anything slightly imperfect but still serviceable.
