There are three precautions to consider when reselling reconditioned products :

2-  Who legislates the resale of reconditioned products in France ? Vanessa

All products reconditioned and resold in France are subject to the classic consumer code. In parallel, there are groups of professional federations or unions that work together on the French and European level to enforce the rights of the market and the sector. We are also an active member of SIRRMIET, the major player in France.

3- When is the best time to resell refurbished products ?  Marine

• August: there is a strong demand for holidays and the resulting breakdowns.
• September : period of strong growth, due to the return to school and the Apple keynote.
• December and mid-January: this period is marked by the holiday season. Refurbished products are sold and resold very quickly.

On the other hand, pay attention to the period from February to May, which is symbolized by lower demand and a downward price trend.
