The mobile secondary market is thriving, valued at $80 billion as of 2024. The growing demand for affordable, preowned devices and the cyclical nature of new smartphone model releases  adds to this rapid growth. As more quality and budget-friendly options become available on the secondary market, many consumers have come around to the idea of refurbished or used devices. In fact, 68% of buyers say they are willing to consider used or refurbished tech in order to save money or reduce environmental impact!

Safe to say, businesses and individual buyers recognize the profitability of reselling mobile phones, wearables, and tablets. Ultimtatly, they fill a need for carriers and retailers looking to offload trade-in and preowned products, while benefiting from the steady supply of quality and increasingly diverse devices. This balance supports a vibrant secondary market, offering buyers and resellers abundant opportunities to secure in-demand tech and extend the lives of  mobile devices.

Why Buy Smartphones, Wearables, and Tablets on B-Stock?

Wholesalers to refurbishers can source bulk quantities of smartphones, wearables, tablets, and other popular consumer electronics by participating in B-Stock auctions.
