Kyle answers:

You just have to convert that number '1353628800'. That is actually the date string, http://php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php. You can easily format that anyway you want with the date() php function

Try this:

$date = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_sale_price_dates_to', true);

echo date_format($date, 'Y-m-d H:i:s');

You have a variable up there: $product_id . What does that go to?

Hi, this is probably the unix-time you got there, try

<?php echo date("Y-m-d",get_post_meta($post->ID, '_sale_price_dates_to', true)); ?>
