Its model connects people looking to sell used smartphones, tablets, wearables and entertainment products with customers seeking refurbished devices and other second-hand goods through online retail channels. Device condition, resale demand and a trusted customer experience are therefore central considerations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pb-lead\"\u003eThis bundle uses six connected frameworks to examine questions around portfolio priorities, trade-in economics, refurbishment operations, customer acquisition and external pressures.
