President Trump's tariff indecision has led to disruptions in the tech market, causing stock instability and increased prices. This situation prompted a rise in demand for secondhand tech as consumers seek alternatives. Back Market, a refurbished electronics retailer, has partnered with iFixit to promote and support this shift. They noted a significant demand increase for refurbished devices, which offer a cost-effective solution while reducing fast tech consumption. Refurbished products come legally verified and can be significantly cheaper, making them an appealing choice amidst economic uncertainty.
"What we've seen over the past 10 days is a hike in demand -- we saw growth multiply by three," he notes.
"Devices on Back Market, which range from laptops and smartphones to vacuums and gaming consoles, are verified refurbished, meaning they are inspected by industry professionals."
