About the Cases and Stands

After a while of collecting dust on the shelves, we've decided to offload some of the cases and stands to free up some room for new products.  We've never advertised them for sale until now and we expect them to sell quickly.  We will periodically update this page, particularly when items are sold or a sale is pending.  The last update will be posted at the top of the page.

All cases/stands function identically to a brand new version, meaning they are legitimate humidors that will protect your instrument EXACTLY the same as our new inventory.  Please read the descriptions and note the abbreviations of each Second Hand Inventory item at the bottom of this page.

Key Information

• Working Condition:  All cases/stands for sale are in working condition as a humidor

Second Hand Description/Type

• Scratch & Dent (S&D)

• As the name indicates, these items will tend to exhibit cosmetic flaws.  Some have noticeable scratches or dents and others are very hard to see with the untrained eye.  Often times the flaws are typical of damages that can occur during shipping or from use for product photography, at trade shows, or have been returned by the customer

• Most of the time we will repair as much as we can, but the defect may still be noticeable.  Sometimes the scratch or dent can not be removed without compromising the evenness of the surface, which is true of deep dents or scratches.  Sometimes if the case is stained, the removal of the flaw would look worse than leaving it

• Old Style (OS)

• We've made some minor changes to the design of the ClimaCase/ClimaStand over the years.  As a result, we have some older versions on the shelf

• Examples include but are not limited to:  Discontinued size - our previously offered 5 3/4" depth for electric guitars has been replaced with 7" depth for both acoustic and electric guitars; Door frame - 2" width door frame changed to our current 1 3/4"

• Discontinued Inventory (DI)

• Sometimes we try out woods and the end result was not quite what we expected.  After a while, we remove these from inventory on the website and keep them set aside for sales like this

• UV glass already installed, meaning it cannot be removed and is considered in the cost.  Typically this is a $150 upgrade.

• Previously had a Powered LED light strip installed, meaning a 1/2" hole in the back right corner of the case used for exiting the wires for the strip currently has a U-shaped 1/2" plug.  If upgraded to included the light strip again, this would be reused and if not then hole would be filled with a full 1/2" plug (no U-shape cut out).

• (1) Cherry (OS, DI) - SOLD

• No cosmetic flaws, case is 100% as good as new inventory with the exception of the brand on the outside of the 1 3/4" door

• We pulled this into second hand inventory because the cherry wood had some darker tones and different patterns than normal.  The wood has also darkened further to a deep red, as all cherry does, from the time on the shelf. 

• $850

• (1) Cherry (Minor S&D)

• No cosmetic flaws, door was cracked during shipment and returned to us for fixing.  The crack was professionally repaired, sanded over, and re-lacquered.  The flaw is virtually unnoticeable and the door is 100% fully functional.

• As with all wood that is glued together, the joint is actually stronger than the wood itself.  If we replaced the door, we would be putting this into normal inventory, so therefore this is only discounted slightly.

• The remainder of this case is cosmetically and functionally brand new.  The door exhibits some beautiful flame figure in the upper right hand side.

• $1,000

• (1) Walnut (OS, S&D) - SOLD

• Damaged by some impact during shipping, likely by the fork on a fork lift
