Numerous specialised dealers and refurbishment companies offer used smartphones, tablets or pc´s at low prices. A good opportunity for many buyers to get high-quality branded products at attractive prices – while doing something for the environment.
On October 10, 2019, Deutschlandfunk's program Marktplatz was dedicated to the topic "Used IT: Smartphone & Co: Tips for buying second hand".

Berlin, answered questions on the subject of warranties, software equipment, battery performance etc.
In advance to the programme, Dlf editor Stephanie Kowalewski visited the branch of AfB in Essen and learns from production manager Christoph Mohren and his colleague Julian Kranz where the AfB's business equipment comes from.
