From buybacks alone.
Every buyback is tracked, and so is what it made you.
Each device you buy becomes a record the moment you take it in. Its status follows it from bought to sold, and the profit shows in Reports when it sells.
- Device, IMEI, what you paid and who took it in, on one record.
- Status follows the device: bought, held, available, sold.
- Profit per buyback and across all of them, in Reports.

Four ways a buyback quietly costs you money.
Buyback rarely loses money on the deal you're thinking about. It loses money in the gaps around it: the quote nobody checked, the price nobody updated, the handset nobody logged.
The generous quote
A new hire wants the customer to say yes, so they round up. Know what the device is worth before you quote: it's on the price sheet.
The stale price
A model drops $60 the week a new one lands. If your sheet is a printout from March, you're buying at March's prices in September.
The unchecked handset
You pay cash for a unit that turns out to be blacklisted. That isn't thin margin, it's the whole purchase price gone.
The device that vanishes
It gets taken in, put in a drawer, and never makes it into stock. It can't sell if the system doesn't know it exists.
Every buyback runs an IMEI check first. Blacklist, carrier lock and lost-or-stolen status, before any cash leaves the till.
See the IMEI check →Taken in, tracked, sold.
- 01
Take it in
Device, IMEI, grade and what you paid go on the record. The offer starts from the price sheet.
- 02
Check the IMEI
Blacklist, lock state and lost/stolen come back in seconds, and the result stays on the record as proof you looked.
- 03
Track it
The record follows the device: bought, held, available, in inventory, sold. Nothing sits in a drawer unlogged.
- 04
Sell it, or sell it to us
Sell it in your store and the profit shows in Reports. Or send it to 8 Star OS and skip the resale.
Your best margin shouldn't depend on who's working.
