Q: What does the "core" column mean?

A: A core is the old part you are replacing on some item. When you buy a remanufactured part, manufacturers need the core so they can rebuild it and add it to their inventory. The core charge is like a deposit you pay it when you place the order, but it's refunded if you send back your old part.
