We have a complex formula behind to take into account factors stated in FAQ 3.
In addition, we have also researched thousands of data points and sellers in the market to arrive at our trade-in prices to ensure the competitiveness.
That being said, there are always cases of miscommunication of information from customers, human errors on our end, and the occasional need to refine our algorithms and formulas that could cause our quotation to be off the mark occasionally. We will usually have a second run-through on our quoted prices to ensure that the quotations are indeed accurate. We always welcome feedback if you feel that your device have been inaccurately assessed.
There are many factors that we use to determine the trade in value. We have listed some of these factors below:
For Tablets, factors that will affect value by a large extent:
1) External Condition – No one wants a dented or heavily worn out device.
2) Battery Condition – Tablets are mobile devices that not used with direct power from adaptors. Batteries for many recent thin and light tablets are expensive and difficult to replace.
3) Unauthorized repairs – Devices that have been repaired by unauthorized channels can cause the device to be deficient in certain areas, such as water resistance.
4) Export units – Export units might be locked, or their OS might be localized and locked to the respective countries.
5) Screen condition – Devices with scratched screens or dead pixels will require, often costly, repair and replacement.
6) Other factors such as age, specifications, usage hours and functionality play a part as well.
TIPS: For tablets, there is typically a larger price depreciation after 6 months. If your purchased device is within 6 months, do remember to bring down your purchase invoice with complete box and accessories to get a higher price valuation.
