Have you ever thought about buying second-hand electronics? If not, what is holding you back? You get much more bang for your buck when buying pre-loved items… and electronics is no exception. Here’s everything you need to know about buying second-hand electronics from Cash Converters, and why it is the best thing you can do for yourself this month.

How devices are tested

Every pre-loved item that you buy from us at Cash Converters is tested before it is sold. We accept just about any household item, as long as it is in good working order. For second-hand electronics specifically, we use our IT operating system, CC Tech, to do electronic device diagnostics on all technology items, without them ever leaving the store. We can determine the specs of an item, if a device is genuine or fake, detect any pirated software and remove all personal information from a device prior to sale, giving you peace of mind that personal information is never compromised.

Data wiping and certification

If you are unsure of buying second-hand electronics, look for the Cash Converters Certified badge on our website. It means that a device has been wiped clean of any data, tested to ensure the item is in great working condition, and upgraded to the latest software. This means that you can buy second-hand electronics today (cellphones and tablets, computers and peripherals, gaming, TV, audio and video and more), at an affordable price and hit the ground running. This is a lifesaver if you are using some of these items for work.

Warranty and returns

For added peace of mind, when you shop with us, we offer a 6-month warranty on most pre-owned items. If items are faulty, they can be returned and

• Repaired at Cash Converters’ cost
• Replaced with an item of similar value
• Refunded at purchase price
