AUCNET establishes reliability in used device transactions through a strict grading policy

In the pre-owned smartphone market, AUCNET has established a benchmark for quality and transparency through its original grading policy. The company’s platform achieved over 2.1 million units traded in the past year, maintaining a steady weekly volume of transactions supported by a rigorous grading approach designed to provide consistent evaluation results across all traders.

Objective evaluation through a 24-item diagnostic test

At the core of AUCNET’s Apple iOS grading system is the 24-item Diagnostic Test, applied to AS, BS, and CS grades. This detailed inspection covers essential functional checks to objectively assess each device’s performance. Only devices that successfully pass the inspection are certified under these grades, ensuring consistent quality and minimizing variability in evaluation.

Clearly defined standards for appearance and functionality

AUCNET evaluates every device based on Cosmetic Condition and Functional Condition, setting specific criteria for each grade. AS and A represent very good condition with minimal or no damage. BS and B indicate good condition with minor scratches or slight wear in limited areas. CS and C reflect fair condition with visible wear or scratches but no cracks. D and D- represent poor or damaged condition, with heavy damage or missing parts requiring repair. The letter S in AS, BS, and CS indicates that the device has successfully passed the Diagnostic Test.

Ensuring data security and traceability

All devices handled by AUCNET are subjected to complete data erasure using Blancco software. This ensures that each device is securely wiped before resale, protecting personal information and allowing for safe and traceable transactions across the platform.

A new standard of market trust

AUCNET’s Grading Policy functions not only as an inspection guideline but also as a foundation of trust within the global secondary market. By combining a transparent grading structure with internationally recognized data erasure standards, AUCNET offers a secure and reliable trading environment where partners can engage confidently in pre-owned device transactions.
