Buyer guides

These guides are written for the people who actually buy stock: retailers, repair chains, online sellers, refurbishers and distributors sourcing phones and electronics in volume. Each one covers a single decision you face before wiring money — how grading vocabularies work, which Incoterm to ship under, how small a first order can sensibly be, and how to verify a supplier you have never met. No fluff, no lead-capture padding; just the mechanics of the trade, the way we explain them to our own buyers.
