What you need to know

The refurbished electronics market in India has grown quickly. With AgainNew's 72-point inspection, every device is tested for screen quality, battery health, cameras, ports and buttons before it is listed.

Whether you're buying a refurbished iPhone for yourself, sourcing 50 laptops for your company or selling your old device for the best price, understanding the grade system is key.

Understanding device grades

  • Grade A+: like new, no visible scratches, battery above 90%.
  • Grade A: excellent condition, minor micro-scratches only, battery above 85%.
  • Grade B: good condition, light scratches visible at arm's length, battery above 80%.
  • Grade C: fair condition, moderate wear, everything works, battery above 75%.

Why refurbished makes sense

You save 30–60% compared with new while getting the same functionality. AgainNew devices come with a 6–12 month warranty, a GST invoice and a 7-day return policy.

Tips for buyers

  1. Check the grade and battery health before buying.
  2. Compare categories — bulk lots often have deeper discounts.
  3. Use EMI to spread the cost over 3–24 months.
  4. Businesses: ask for a dedicated account manager for bulk orders.
