How ReBound works

01
Source locally
Find used iPhones, AirPods, and Watches on Facebook Marketplace and local buy/sell groups. Buy below market rate from people upgrading.
02
Inspect and refurbish
Check IMEI for blacklists, test battery health, clean cosmetic condition, and reset to factory settings. No sketchy devices — ever.
03
Resell for margin
List on Facebook Marketplace and eBay with clean photos, honest condition descriptions, and fair pricing. Local pickup preferred — cash, no fees.

What we look for

Any model from iPhone 11 onward. iPhone 13, 14, 15, and 16 models command the highest resale values and move fastest.
$150 – $500 margin
AirPods
AirPods Pro and AirPods Max hold value exceptionally well. Pro models with original case sell at strong premiums over asking price.
$50 – $150 margin
Apple Watch
Series 7, 8, and Ultra models in any condition. Watches with minor cosmetic wear still sell at strong prices — buyers care about function.

Where we find them

Smart sourcing.
Every margin counts.

Local arbitrage is the play. We buy from people directly — not wholesale — so we get devices below secondary market value. That gap is where the margin lives.

  • Facebook Marketplace listings — people upgrading, no longer need their device
  • Local buy/sell/trade Facebook groups — targeted, high-intent buyers
  • Thrift stores and pawn shops — slower but sometimes gem-level finds
  • Always IMEI-check before buying — blacklisted devices are a write-off

Direct sourcing
No fees
Local cash sales = no platform fees = more kept per device. That's the ReBound model.
The secondhand
economy is just starting.

Every person upgrading their phone is a sourcing opportunity. Every refurbished device that lands in a new pair of hands is a transaction that didn't need a factory. ReBound is built for that gap.
