How J&B Resale works

Good stuff that came back to the store, checked over and priced fairly.

We buy returns by the pallet. Customer returns and overstock from a major warehouse retailer, bought at auction.
We inspect every item by hand. We unpack it, look it over, test what we can, and note anything missing or damaged.
We grade and price it. Each item gets a grade from A to D and a price based on that grade, well below retail.
You buy online and pick it up. Pay securely through Stripe, then we contact you to set a pickup time in Attica, MI.

Who we are

We're Joel and Brooke, a family business in Attica, Michigan. We buy returned items, then inspect, clean, and test every one by hand before it's listed, and we grade it honestly so you know exactly what you're getting.

Every sale helps us pay off debt and start education funds for our two boys, ages 3 and 1. Thank you for supporting our family.

What the grades mean

Grade A: Like newOpened or returned, with little or no sign of use. Works as it should.

Grade B: GoodLight signs of use. Works as it should.

Grade C: FairClear wear, cosmetic damage, or missing non-essential parts. Works.

Grade D: For partsSold as is for parts or repair. Does not fully work.

Some listings are a group of the same item in the same grade, shown as "3 available". Every unit in the group was graded the same, and the photos show units from that group.

Pickup and payment

Pickup is local, in Attica, Michigan, between 9 AM and 7 PM. After you pay, we reach out by email or text to set a time and send the address.
Online orders are paid through Stripe. We never see your card number.
Michigan's 6% sales tax is added at checkout.

Returns

All sales are final. If an item is not what the listing described, let us know and we will do our best to make it right. Every listing shows the grade and what we found when we checked the item, so please read it before you buy.

Questions

Where do the items come from?

They are customer returns and overstock from a major warehouse retailer. We buy them by the pallet and go through each one.

Are the items tested?

We test what we can. When an item has been tested and works, the listing says "Tested". The grade and the notes on each listing say what we found.

What does "On hold" mean?

Someone is checking out with that item. If they do not finish within 30 minutes, it becomes available again.

Can I buy more than one?

Yes. On a group listing, buy one at a time. Each purchase holds the next unit for you.
