How to Sell Devices in ReStory

ReStory separates customer repairs from devices you acquire and restore for resale. Both end with a complete working device, but the payout path and deadline are not the same.

BENCH NOTE

The short answer

Return commissioned devices through the counter or delivery flow. For a flip, buy below the realistic repair cost, restore it, then sell the completed device through the market flow.

VERIFIED WORKFLOW

Do this in order

  1. 01

    Identify the ownership

    Do not sell a customer device as inventory. Keep commissioned jobs tied to their order.

  2. 02

    Estimate the repair before buying

    Marketplace descriptions can be incomplete, so leave room for several broken parts and the device license.

  3. 03

    Finish every required part

    A partly assembled device is inventory clutter, not a completed sale.

  4. 04

    Collect the payment

    Move received banknotes into the cash register so the balance can fund parts, bills, and licenses.

Margin guardrail

Community reference prices for the Pokia Njoy and Nony PlayMachine show that purchasing every component new can cost more than the finished device sells for. Profitable flipping depends on retaining good parts.
