B-Stock & CTIA Set Grading Standards for Pre-owned Mobile Devices

Years ago several different organizations in the preowned mobile space independently observed a problem: The secondary market for these trade-in, returned, and unsold mobile devices lacked a standardized grading system, leading to disputes and mistrust between buyers and sellers, and, ultimately, wasted time and money. When CTIA Certification(™) announced an initiative to create an industry-wide standard for preowned device grading, leaders from all corners of the mobile market got on board.

When this team of industry experts—including B-Stock—came together to create and evangelize a voluntary grading standard for the mobile device secondary market, the results were clear.
