Currys has begun trialling sales of refurbished technology on its website. The retailer is selling pre-owned items including mobiles, laptops and Chromebooks online as customers increasingly look to save money.
The trial started in November but, until now, customers have only been able to buy second-hand tech which has been graded as being in ‘excellent’ condition. However, a range of items in ‘very good’ and ‘fair’ conditions are available as of this week. Regardless of their condition, all items are sold with a 12-month technical guarantee.
Currys says 80% of the refurbished product lines have been selling out within the first week of sales, with refurbished laptops in particularly high demand. Products are individually checked over, restored if required, then repackaged.
