In Brazil, the market for used display units has grown significantly in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro due to cost-consciousness among consumers. Retailers often advertise these items with warranties to build consumer confidence. In the USA, particularly in NYC, buying used or refurbished electronics is common among budget-conscious buyers and small businesses. The term is widely used in e-commerce and electronics retail across both markets, with consumers increasingly seeking sustainable purchasing options.
