title = "Effect of product design on buyback price of end-of-use consumer electronics",
abstract = "Buying back used products and reselling them to the secondhand market has emerged as a new business model in the consumer electronics market. The price that a buyback company pays for a used product is important for manufacturers in that it affects new product sales as well as end-of-life recovery. To clarify what the key factors are in deciding buyback price of used electronics and to help manufacturers manage the buyback price from the design stage, this paper presents an empirical study of buyback price with an example of laptop. Several hundred laptops of the past decade are examined and their buyback prices as of now are estimated using a pricing engine of a real buyback company. The statistical analysis shows the relations of design specification to buyback price as well as the impacts of cosmetic condition and hardware reliability.",
