Find all secondhand

Fyndl is a comparison search for used and refurbished electronics. It collects offers from several platforms and ranks them by price, condition, and how trustworthy the source is. Fyndl sells nothing itself, holds no inventory, and processes no purchases.

Currently in the catalog: 6,457 offers from eBay Refurbished, Janado, asgoodasnew, Handingo, Notebookgalerie, Computer Outlet 24, mobilshop3000, ESM Computer, and refurbed.

A marketplace like Back Market or refurbed sells from its own stock, so the comparison stops at its own edge. A general price comparison is broader, but it describes a used device like a new one: the condition grade stays in the seller's own words, and the warranty duration sits in the fine print. Fyndl sits one level above. The search collects refurbished offers from several platforms, converts the condition statements onto one shared five-step scale, and shows the stored warranty duration right next to the offer, with a documented new price alongside it as a reference. Nothing is sold at Fyndl: the purchase contract is formed with the respective shop, and the commission from a partner link never changes the order.

By four criteria: price, condition, warranty, and seller reputation. Platforms grade condition inconsistently, so Fyndl normalises them onto five steps, from “like new” to “good”. The rules are fixed rather than learned: for every result, Fyndl can show why it placed where it did.

6,457 of 6,457 offers state a warranty period.

Fyndl compares offers from several refurbished platforms and marketplaces. The catalog is refetched hourly, and every offer carries the time it was last checked, so it stays visible how current a price is.

eBay Refurbished (5,772), Janado (163), asgoodasnew (161), Handingo (149), Notebookgalerie (112), Computer Outlet 24 (44), mobilshop3000 (32), ESM Computer (23), and refurbed (1). Prices range from €14.99 to €399.

Refurbished means a used device was tested, cleaned, had faulty parts replaced, and was resold with a warranty. Unlike plain second-hand goods, a merchant is liable for it: one year in the case of eBay Refurbished. Often only the casing distinguishes it from new.

Every platform describes condition differently: one hands out A, B and C, the next says “very good” and “acceptable”, the third writes a paragraph. That only becomes comparable once it sits on a shared scale, so Fyndl normalises the grades onto five steps, from “like new” to “good”. The steps describe the outside only: scratches on the casing, marks along the display edge, wear at the corners. They say nothing about the technology, because certified refurbished goods are tested and fully functional at every grade. In practice that means a mid-grade device works exactly like a top-grade one, it simply looks more used and often costs noticeably less. Anyone who puts the device in a case anyway is mostly paying for something they will never see. Battery health is a separate matter, which many sellers state on its own as a percentage.

These are two different things, and only one of them is mandatory. Statutory liability for defects is set by German law: buy from a merchant and you are entitled to goods that are free of defects at handover. For used goods the period may be shortened to one year, but only if that was expressly agreed. In a private sale it can be excluded entirely, which is why a classified ad between private individuals leaves you with nothing when in doubt. A warranty, by contrast, is voluntary. It comes from the merchant or the manufacturer, and its scope is set by their terms: typically hardware faults in the battery, display, logic board and ports, but not drop damage or the cosmetic wear covered by the stated condition grade. Fyndl shows the recorded warranty period next to each offer, because it differs most between sources and is the easiest thing to miss in the fine print. The contract is always with the respective shop, not with Fyndl.

The offers of the day are the freshly verified slice of the catalog: Fyndl re-fetches the connected platforms every hour and shows the offers whose price and availability were confirmed most recently. They come from refurbished merchants and marketplaces, not from Fyndl itself. Every row carries its source and the time of its last check, so it stays visible how current a price is.
