How we grade

Every machine graded — honestly.

One grade, three ways to say it: a C-code, an A/B/C letter, and the Nigerian term you already use — and a colour that confirms it at a glance (green is best, red is parts). Cosmetic grade is how it looks; functional grade is whether it works. We grade both. The grade is the promise.

Cosmetic condition — A to E

A simple appearance scale. Functional status and accessory completeness are verified independently.

AExcellentLike new or minimal visible wear
BGoodLight to moderate wear
CFairVisible scratches or small dents
DPoorSignificant cosmetic wear
EPartsNot offered as working equipment

Detailed internal C0–C9 inspection data remains in the Vault. Customer-facing grades use A–E; an appearance grade never proves technical PASS.

Functional grade — does it work

A separate axis from looks. A clean-looking laptop can still have a technical fault — so we always state both.

F0 — Fully WorkingAll functions tested & pass; healthy battery
F1 — Minor FaultWorks, one minor issue (weak battery, port)
F2 — Major FaultSignificant functional fault, repairable
F9 — Dead / Non-functionalDoes not power / harvest only
The grade is the promise. Cosmetic (C / letter / word) is the looks; functional (F) is whether it works — and we grade both, honestly. So when you buy by grade, you know exactly what arrives. The same scale is used by our sales team, in every quote, and on every unit.
