Does Liquidation have any affect on the product that I am purchasing?

The nature of liquidation in terms of our company is as follows: 99% of all products we carry are direct from the manufacturer. The remaining 1% of the products were purchased from a middle-man or another vendor (who might have bought from another vendor or middle man as well). As a result, the remaining 1%'s packaging might have some wear on tear on the box or might have been opened for display, but the product will still be a brand new unit with all included accessories and warranty.
