With the cost of living what it is right now, sometimes we don’t always have the budget for the hardware we want. That’s where B-Grade comes in.
Today, we’re letting you in on the not-so-secret that is B-Grade.
What is B-Grade?
No doubt, you’ve been scrolling our website in the past, window shopping for your dream build, when you’ve spotted certain items featuring a little red banner in the corner saying, “B-Grade.”
B-Grade products are items that may have been sent back to us, have damaged packaging, missing accessories, or some combination of these. Regardless of this, they are fully functional and probably only have minor aesthetic faults, such as small scratches or scrapes. If they didn’t work, we wouldn’t sell them!
So, the big question is, why would you want a B-Grade item? Them savings, yo!
Because they are a little less than factory fresh, B-Grade items cannot be sold at full value. Instead, they are reduced in price and could be the MVP of your next build. B-Grade is perfect if you’re looking for savvy ways to spend or love hunting down a great deal.
Where Can I Browse B-Grade?
Of course, the drawback to B-Grade is that you cannot guarantee the specific item you’re after will be available. With a little patience and regularly checking the B-Grade section, you may discover your dream component or something equally as good. There’s an element of luck to browsing the B-Grade, which makes the hidden gems all the sweeter!
If your shopping list is a little broader and brand flexible, then B-Grade is an excellent way to score a deal or two!
