We give tech a new lease of life to save you money and protect our planet.
What is Magpie Certified Refurbished Tech?
Refurbished tech you can trust
Refurbished. Renewed. Reuseful
“What does refurbished mean?”
At musicMagpie, it means a device that has been extensively checked by experts, repaired where necessary and works like new.
That means you get all the cutting-edge performance and stunning design of a new device, at a much lower price to you and the planet (and with a free 12-month warranty too).
In short, you can always trust a Magpie Certified Refurbished product.
How we refurbish tech
Battery
Every battery we sell has at least 80% capacity. Anything under is replaced with a new battery.
Data erasure
We delete everything the previous owner may have stored on the device remotely and securely.
Camera assessment
Enjoy picture-perfect snaps and high-quality recording with an extensively tested camera.
Speaker and microphone checks
Crystal-clear audio for call clarity, enjoying your favourite songs and everything in between.
Counterfeit and lost/stolen examination
We use CheckMEND’s National Lost and Stolen Register to ensure every item we sell is 100% legit.
Buffing and polishing
Dedicated machines buff and polish our devices so they look almost as good as the day they were made.
