Market Troubles & Pre-Owned Market Places Purpose

Many shoppers egar to save money shop used and start their search in common pre-owned market places, entierly unaware of the endless scam listings waiting for them.

​

Without even realizing it, many shoppers end up purchasing untested graphics cards that that are in terrible conditions, and when those parts fail, shoppers are severely disssapointed when they disocver they can't get a refund.

​

Why does this happen? It's common practice for market place sellers to offer computer components (especially grapihcs cards) that are untested with no guarantee it will work. Even eBay's buyer protection program falls short to help customers who end up getting scammed on their platform, so long as the seller has mention of it's untested condition in fine print on the listing.​

This risk has always been something buyers always had to navigate, until now. We have put an end to this uncertainty by taking on this uncertainty for you! Each component we offer must undergo a rigorous technical inspection that guarantees only the highest quality pre-owned pc components make it through.

​

Our inspection policy is insurance on your investment and time, making the overall buying experience cheaper and faster. Would you like to discover how we can make such a promise? You’re welcome to read below and discover the work we put into our pre-owned products!

Comprehensive Breakdown

Inspection: Older components can degrade, crack and carry bulging capacitors that lead to catastrophic failure. Our thorough inspection process starts from the inside out. By taking apart each component down to its bare PCB, we can ensure each capacitor and transistor has been looked over. By inspecting each component, we can prevent the issues that cause "dead on arrival" orders. Our thorough inspection process allows us to filter out the suboptimal hardware that doesn't hold up to our strict standards and ensure the part you ordered will surpass your expectations!

Benchmarking: Artificing and graphical glitches are signs of major issues and mark a dying component. However, these signs don't always show up during a quick boot up. Benchmarking stresses every component and brings any graphical issues to the surface. With each benchmark, we can validate each part we offer reaches it's advertised performance. This strict benchmarking procedure allows us to weed out any components that carry these issues.​

Sourcing: When a computer component is in a humid, or excessively hot environment it can accumulate rust spots and other problems that dramatically reduce the lifespan of the part. Our careful sourcing routine guarantees the parts we offer have been kept in better than optimal conditions, adding to the overall lifespan of the card. Our experience and industry knowledge helps us distinguish which suppliers have the reputation and quality that meet our strict standards.

Cleaning: Stray hairs and dust balls can clog up the cooling system on most hardware and drastically slow down it's overall performance. Our thorough cleaning process removes said dust and leaves each part in a spotless and prestigious condition. On top of this, the plastics on many components weaken over time, degrading its overall condition. We use industry leading plastic cleaners and degreasers to ensure the hardware you ordered is not only looking great, but has a lot of life left in it.arking procedure allows us to weed out any components that carry these issues.

Better Than New Performance: The work we do speaks for itself. After testing four different generations of NVIDIA graphics cards, we were able to prove gpus that passed our inspection policy consistantly out-perform their advertised clock speeds (in new condition) by several hundred megahertz
