We know who

Our companies
One device, four companies
What began at the bench turned into a small chain: refer, trade in, inspect, resell. Four brands, one idea — a device passes through our hands, not into the bin.
Where it started, in 2012. Today the guide: we take you to the repairer who fixes your device best.
The marketplace where companies trade used electronics with each other. Verified parties, own inspection hubs in the Netherlands and Dubai.
Refurbished Apple for consumers, honest about every scratch. 60+ check points, battery at least 85% and three years of warranty.
The same story in South America: second-hand Apple with the longest warranty in Colombia, sold and delivered from Medellín.
The story
From one workbench to two continents
It didn't start with a plan but with curiosity: what is actually inside a phone? Fourteen years later others turn the screws, and we do what we became best at: knowing who you need.

Smartab: the nicest repairs
One workbench, a set of screwdrivers and word of mouth down the street.
- 2016
Trade-ins and refurbishing
Devices customers handed in got fixed up and resold. That is how repairing became trading.
- 2021
Mr Used goes live
A marketplace for the trade itself, with physical inspection in the Netherlands and later Dubai.
- 2024
Segonda in the Netherlands
Refurbished Apple straight to consumers, with three years of warranty.
