Grading

How we grade

Excellent

Almost no signs of wear

The body may show very light micro-scratches, invisible from 20 cm or more. The screen has no scratches at all.

Good

Light signs of wear

The body may show light micro-scratches, invisible from arm’s length or more. The screen has no scratches.

Fair

Visible signs of wear

The body may have a few visible scratches or small dents, and the screen may show light scratches when the device is on. Cosmetic only.

The same standard in every condition

We use the grading scale you already know from Back Market and bol.com, so a device means the same thing wherever you buy it from us. The condition tells you how the device looks, not how it works.

  • Fully functional, tested on more than fifty points.
  • Battery at a minimum of 80% of its original capacity.
  • Wiped and reinstalled with a clean, supported version of macOS.
  • Delivered with a charger, cleaned and packed for transport.
  • 24 months of warranty, business purchases included.

What every device goes through

  1. Intake in our own workshop in the Netherlands, with the specification recorded per serial number.
  2. Function test: ports, keyboard, trackpad, speakers, camera, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
  3. Display inspection for dead pixels, marks and uniformity.
  4. Battery capacity and cycle count measured against the minimum for its condition.
  5. Wipe and a clean installation of macOS.
  6. Cosmetic grading against the three conditions above, then cleaning and packing.

Choosing a condition

If the device is a gift or you simply want it to look untouched, choose Excellent. If you care more about what it does than how it looks, Good and Fair give you the same performance for less money. The warranty, the return period and the testing are identical.
