How Tech Valuation Actually Works
No vague estimates, no surprise doorstep renegotiations. Here is the exact mathematical rubric and operational pipeline behind every ReValue Hub transaction.
The Database Valuation Formula
Live dynamic pricing engine per Section 5 specification
Estimated Value = Base Market Value
+ Configuration Premium (RAM / Storage upgrade)
− Condition Deduction (Screen & Chassis wear)
− Battery Deduction (Cycle count & health bracket)
− Missing Accessories (Original Apple Charger / Box)
− Certified Refurbishment Risk Buffer (3%)
+ Secondary Market Liquidity Adjustment (Apple Silicon demand)Rendered Range, Never a Fixed Gimmick
Pre-inspection quotes always render as an upper and lower range (e.g. ₹41,000 – ₹44,000) so you have realistic expectations before sending or bringing in the unit.
Immutable Version Tracking
Each quote is locked with an immutable pricing version key (e.g. VAL-2026-09-V1). When admin updates market benchmarks, your existing quote is never secretly altered.
