I am evaluating a refurbished‑Apple venture that markets devices at roughly half the retail price, positioning it as a “Spinny for Apple.”
A brand‑new Apple device consumes about 13 tons of water during manufacture; a refurbished device uses roughly one‑tenth of that, ~1.3 tons per device.
There are more than 125 million dormant Apple phones in people’s drawers that could be reacquired, refurbished, and resold.
The pricing strategy targets approximately 50 % of the full Apple retail price (“half the price”).
I chose the refurbishment focus to dramatically cut resource usage and unlock value from dormant devices, and I brand the effort as “Spinny for Apple” to convey trusted, streamlined resale.
The business model is described as “reverse D2C”: devices are acquired directly from owners, refurbished in‑house, and sold direct‑to‑consumer, eliminating traditional retail mark‑ups.
The startup is a “Spinny for iPhones”, aiming to be a one‑stop trusted platform with verified devices, transparent pricing and premium service.
I endorse the team – Shrey Sardana & team GREST – to pursue this huge market opportunity.
The business generates ₹1 crore monthly revenue.
Profit is ₹7.5 lakh per month.
Growth is 15‑20 % month‑on‑month.
India’s second‑hand electronics market is valued at $11 billion with no clear leader. I’m fixing what everyone hates about buying secondhand electronics – zero trust, no warranty, sketchy OLX sellers – by procuring devices directly, refurbishing them properly, and selling with a full warranty and after‑sales service. I’ve been trading on OLX since 10th class, so I know every pain point.
