How we measure: Brand resale programs
Every figure in a Closo data block names its window and its source. This page says how each one is calculated and when we publish it. When the sample is too small, we say so instead of showing a number.

Brand resale programs
Does the brand run its own resale or trade-in program?
- What the figure is
- Each program the brand runs itself: its name, what it does (resale shop, consignment, trade-in, refurbished), how it pays, where it runs, and the page we read it on. Take-back or recycling alone is not a resale program and is not shown.
- What it covers
- One brand.
- Time window
- 180 days after each program page was last checked.
- When we publish it
- Published when the program page was checked in the last 180 days. On that day the page said, word for word, what we quote. No program on file shows nothing; it does not mean the brand has none.
- Source
- The brand's own program pages and the resale partners that run them, read by Closo. When a page blocks automated reads, its latest archived copy on web.archive.org, dated by that copy.
- How it is calculated
- No calculation: the number of programs on file, each as its page describes it. Trade-in means the brand pays when it accepts the item; consignment means the seller is paid only if the item sells.
Prices on hub and lot pages are explained in How we price. Every other method is on How we measure. Past resale results do not promise future ones; prices and demand change.
