When scaling a recommerce operation, **margins are made or lost in the grading process.**
🔹 **Grading guides**—Defined by manufacturers, retailers, or internal teams, they determine resale potential.🔹
**Refurbishment cost vs. resale value**—Is it worth investing in upgrading a Grade 4 item to Grade 1?
🔹 **Optimizing margins**—Knowing when to invest in refurbishment (and when not to) directly impacts profitability.
Successful recommerce businesses **don’t just resell—they manage grading and refurbishment strategically** to scale profitably.
