The Resale.com.pk standard
Condition grades, explained

Who sets the grade
The shop sets the grade and lists every known defect next to it. Resale.com.pk publishes this standard, but we do not inspect units.
A grade says how the unit looks and works; the defect list says exactly what is wrong. Read both, and check the unit at the counter before you pay.
Grades mean the same in every category. The shops themselves are checked in person: see how we verify shops.
Found a wrong grade?
-
Open the listing.
-
Open “Report this listing” and choose “Other issue”.
-
Say what the grade should be and why. Sign in first if you want us to be able to reach you.
Battery health
Used laptops, mobiles and tablets can show battery health as a percentage, set by the shop: how much charge the battery holds today compared with when it was new.
Check it at the counter
