World is spinning fast and so are the product cycles. The
popularity crown worn by one product shifts to other in no time, and so
the desire of users. It is too obvious that if you opt for a new one,
the old one gets redundant. And if you can sell the old one at a good
margin, it may come handy to target the next. On the other hand, buyers
get the chance to have a product of their choice, but at a cheaper
price. So the re-commerce sites, the online sites where you can sell or
buy the used products, provide the perfect platform for both parties.
