Condition-Based Pricing
Pricing ModelsGrading & Condition
Condition-based pricing is a model in which the resale or buyback value of a used device is determined by its assessed physical and functional grade, resulting in differentiated prices for the same model across different condition tiers.
In practice, condition-based pricing means an iPhone 15 in Grade A condition may be priced 20-35% higher than the same model in Grade C. The price differential between grades fluctuates based on supply dynamics - in periods of high Grade A supply, the premium compresses; in periods of scarcity, it widens. Effective condition-based pricing requires granular competitor data segmented by condition, not just model.
