How we test
Every device, checked
before it’s listed.
Buying second-hand shouldn’t be a gamble. Every phone and laptop goes through our 25-point diagnostic before we offer it to you. Here’s what it covers, and what you can check yourself when you collect.
What our diagnostic covers
Battery health
We check the battery's health and that it charges properly.
Screen & display
Checked for faults and damage before the device is listed.
Ports & charging
Every port and the charging connection is tested.
Connectivity
Wi-Fi and the device’s other connections are tested.
Software
Wiped and reinstalled, so nothing from a previous owner is left on it.
Cosmetic grade
Graded A+ or A, and any marks are described honestly.
How we grade
Grade A+
No visible signs of use. Performs like new.
Grade A
May have very minor cosmetic marks, but fully functional and passes every check.
Then you check it too
Inspect before you pay
Collect in Pretoria or Johannesburg and take as long as you need. Switch it on, try the screen, the charger and the ports, and ask anything. You only pay once you’re happy. If something isn’t as described, don’t buy it.
Every device also comes with our 30-day fault warranty.
