Elvie Pump - Silent, Wearable Breast Pump (1 Pump) Appraisal
Category: Medical Device
Description
The item is an Elvie Pump, described on the packaging as a "Silent, wearable breast pump." The packaging indicates it is designed to fit in a bra and be worn discreetly. The box is primarily white or light-colored with black text for branding and product information. A prominent image of the breast pump is centered on the box, showing its distinctive oval shape and white color. Visible on the pump in the image are measurement markings along the lower half. There appears to be a button or indicator light on the upper portion of the pump. The box displays the "elvie pump" logo at the top. The phrase "Silent, wearable breast pump" is printed below the image, along with the tagline "fits in your bra, and your life". In the bottom right corner, the text "1 Pump" is visible, indicating the contents. The box appears to be made of cardboard. There are some minor scuffs and signs of handling visible on the surface of the box. There are marks on the brown surface beneath the box, but these are not related to the item itself. The design of the packaging is modern and minimalist, emphasizing the discreet nature of the product. Absence of any specific model number or further details on the box prevents a more precise identification of the pump version, but the overall aesthetic and branding align with Elvie's product line.
Appraisal Report
Based on my examination of the provided image, I have appraised this Elvie Pump - Silent, Wearable Breast Pump (1 Pump). The item is presented in its original packaging, which appears to be in fair condition with minor scuffs and signs of handling evident on the cardboard surface. The minimalist design and branding are consistent with authentic Elvie products. The image clearly shows the defining features of the Elvie Pump, including its wearable design and measurement markings. Authenticity from an image alone is limited; a definitive determination would require in-person verification of the product within the box, inspection of any serial numbers, and potentially provenance documentation such as a purchase receipt. The market for used or open-box wearable breast pumps is present, though demand can fluctuate. Comparables for a single Elvie pump in potentially used or open-box condition typically range below the retail price of a new unit. Factors significantly impacting value include its working condition (which cannot be verified from the image), whether all original accessories are included, and the overall cosmetic state of the pump itself. Without opening the box and testing the unit, I cannot confirm its operational status or the presence of all components, which are critical to its functional value as a medical device. The visible condition of the packaging suggests it may be a return or an open-box item.
