# Resale overview

> Selling your serialized items.

Resale allows you to sell individual serialized items, typically used or refurbished products from a trade-in or items that have completed their rental lifecycle.

With resale, customers can purchase specific items, in specific conditions, enabling you to monetize inventory that's ready to be sold while maintaining full item tracking and serialization.

When you enable resale for a product, customers can purchase individual serialized items at prices you set. Each resale transaction is tracked through Supercycle's inventory system, maintaining the item's history and serial number.

You can create different pricing options based on item condition or variant, allowing you to offer different prices for items in various states (unused, used, refurbished, etc).

## Resale vs. rental methods

Unlike rental methods (calendar, subscription, membership) where items return to your inventory, resale permanently transfers ownership to the customer.<cite /> This makes resale ideal for:

* Items that have completed their rental lifecycle
* Refurbished or used inventory you want to clear
* Products customers want to own rather than rent
* Monetizing inventory that's no longer optimal for rental

You can run resale alongside other rental methods on the same products, giving customers the choice to rent or buy.
