Choose the right product ✅

To choose a refurbished electronic device, here are some key tips:

• Check the condition of the product: Make sure the seller clearly indicates the condition (like new, very good condition, good condition, etc.).
• Inquire about the battery: For mobile devices, check the battery condition.
• Inquire about software updates: Prioritize devices that will still receive updates after your purchase.

Choose the right seller 💰

Just like choosing the product, choosing the seller is important:

• Buy from reputable sellers: Amazon, BackMarket, Rakuten, or any other reputable store that sells refurbished products.
• Examine the warranty: Opt for products with a warranty of at least 6 months to 1 year.
• Read customer reviews: They can provide indications about the reliability of the product and the seller.
• Check the included accessories.
