01/ 07 Sourcing
Most of what we sell had a desk job before.
We buy from companies refreshing their fleets, from lease returns and in bulk lots. Every unit is logged the day it arrives and given an asset tag that follows it through everything that comes next.
- Corporate refreshes
- Lease returns
- Bulk lots
- Dealer trade-ins
02/ 07 Inspection
We look before we plug anything in.
Casing, hinges, screen, keyboard, ports. Every scuff and missing screw goes on the unit’s record, so the grade it gets later is based on what we found — not on a guess.
- Casing & hinges
- Display glass
- Keys & trackpad
- Ports & slots
03/ 07 Hardware testing
Then every part has to prove itself.
Battery, storage, memory, processor and thermals, display, keyboard, wireless and every port — tested one by one, with results logged against the asset tag. Parts that fail are replaced, or the unit doesn’t move on.
- Battery
- Storage
- Memory
- CPU & thermals
- Display
- Input
- Wireless
- Ports
04/ 07 Data sanitization
The last owner’s data stays with the last owner.
Every drive is wiped, and the wipe is verified, before a device goes anywhere else. Nothing from a machine’s previous life survives into its next one.
- Full overwrite
- Verification pass
- Logged per device
05/ 07 Cleaning
Then it gets a proper clean.
Vents and fans blown out, keyboards and screens cleaned, casing wiped down, old labels off. Small cosmetic fixes where they make sense.
- Dust-out
- Deep clean
- Label removal
- Touch-ups
06/ 07 Grading
Graded honestly. Priced to match.
Each unit gets a cosmetic grade based on what we recorded at inspection. Functionally, every grade is the same: it works.
- A
- Minimal signs of use. Looks close to new.
- B
- Light marks or scuffs. Fully working.
- C
- Visible wear. Fully working, priced lower.
07/ 07 Quality check
One more check, then it ships.
A final pass against the unit’s test record before it’s packed. If anything doesn’t match, it goes back on the bench.
- Final functional check
- Record matched
- Packed for dispatch
