Re-purposing is fast becoming a way of life and the tech space should be no exception. With this in mind, David Hirsch \u2013 CEO of TechMarkit \u2013 has introduced his very own brand of pre-loved technology. You could say that David followed his \u2018tech\u2019nicolour dream after leaving his position as a director of a consumer electronics and IT retailer. He freely admits that TechMarkit, a PC business focused on selling pre-owned and new Windows-based laptops and Android, was an idea that he simply could not shake.<\/p>\n<p>It didn\u2019t take David long to realise that there are scores of people who want to buy a laptop, PC or phone but don\u2019t want to buy brand new or find buying new prohibitively expensive. Consumers need and want value-for-money and peace of mind. Now they can get both at Rosebank Mall\u2019s upmarket TechMarkit store.<\/p>\n<p>All pre-owned products are graded according to their condition. This gives the customer a clearer idea of the physical and cosmetic state of each item they are considering buying. TechMarkit also checks and tests each item (unless of course, it is brand-new) so that you are assured of buying a quality product. So, whether you want to buy new, or pre-owned or you decide to trade in, you\u2019ll become part of this unique circular economy that has become David\u2019s brainchild.<\/p>\n<p>TechMarkit is a truly unique concept. It first started as an online store but quickly evolved to the physical realm when David realised that people like to see what they are buying, especially when it comes to technology. He also found that his customers prefer speaking to an actual person because of the long list of questions that they want to ask before parting with their hard-earned money.<\/p>\n<p>David also understands that there is only a 30% PC penetration in South Africa. He says, \u201cOur people may have mobile phones but laptops and PCs remain unattainable for most. Brand-new laptops are prohibitively expensive for most people, and yet they are essential tools for school, higher education, work and life in general. I would like to play a part in changing this, in making technology accessible to everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>All TechMarkit products are graded into usage categories to help customers get technology that is based on what they need. For example, if your teen needs a laptop for school, you can buy a grade D because he won\u2019t need the same functionality as a businessperson or an online gamer.<\/p>\n<p>Equally important is the trade-in component of the store. What makes this component so appealing is that you can take your second-hand technology in and actually get a fair trade-in price for it. TechMarkit sports its very own trade-in calculator to make sure the trade-in is a win-win for both the customer and the store. Your laptop is first diagnosed, then refurbished and finally priced \u2013 very competitively. Perfectly re-purposed for the next owner. What\u2019s more, the technology comes with a six-month to one-year warranty \u2013 covering all the same things that manufacturers\u2019 warranties would normally cover.<\/p>\n<p>And as proof that they walk the talk, this first TechMarkit store was designed with re-purposing front of mind by stylishly refurbishing wood pallets from their warehouse to make up the counters in the store which are also embedded with old keyboards and tech components. Not only is this a smart use of what would otherwise have ended up in a landfill, but it also underpins the message they are committed to conveying: \u201cWe are in the business of refurbishing. From our counters to our technology. We aim to teach the younger generations that you can re-purpose \u2013 it\u2019s more cost effective and it\u2019s not always necessary to buy new.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mypr.co.za\/contact\/featured\/\">CLICK HERE to submit your press release to MyPR.co.za<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"post-views-icon dashicons dashicons-chart-bar\"><\/span> <span class=\"post-views-label\">Press Release Views:<\/span> <span class=\"post-views-count\">175<\/span> <\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-pagination pagination\">Pages: <span class=\"post-page-numbers current\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>1<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/rosebank-mall-gets-technical-with-new-store\/2\/\" class=\"post-page-numbers\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>2<\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\">Source: MyPR.co.za<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republish for Free Republish This Story Republish our articles for free, online or in print, under a Creative Commons license.
