Grading - How we grade our refurbished laptops and computers.

ITZOO's Guide to Refurbished Grading

Refurbished Equipment Grading – Please keep in mind that all devices have been previously owned and used and therefore will not be in “as new” condition. ITZOO will price products in relation to their grade. If you wish to purchase and excellent condition device with only minor signs of wear please purchase grade A items. If you want to save some money, whilst still buying a fully functional and tested device the lower graded units offer exceptional value but will show obvious signs of previous use. From time to time we will have devices in “As New” condition, for all product categories these devices will be listed as GRADE A+ and should not show any signs of previous use.
