The grading scale

One word, one meaning, for everyone.

Every inspected item receives one of these eight grades. Sellers, operators and buyers read the same scale: “good condition” means the same thing everywhere.

Adapted to your products

Test criteria and blocking defects are set per product family: a vacuum cleaner is not inspected like a jacket.

From grade to decision

The grade guides the item’s exit. You set the rules, we apply them.

  • Back to stock The item returns to your sellable stock, in its original packaging or an equivalent.
  • Online sale Listed with its grade and defects, at a price consistent with its real condition.
  • Trade lot Grouped with comparable items and sold to a verified buyer.
  • Spare parts No longer sellable whole, its components are used to repair other units.
  • Treatment channel When nothing else is possible, it goes to an approved channel, with proof of treatment.
