We are a collection of technologists with similar viewpoints who want to alter the way used goods are purchased. Every year, retailers throw away millions of returned and overstock items because they are unable to handle them for resale. This is a lost chance for you and a burden on the environment. The majority of these things are completely functional, but because of unethical business practices, many stores find it challenging to liquidate them. We want to alter that by working with leading merchants to give UsedPanda customers access to returned, overstock, and verified pre-owned goods at unbeatable savings. We are located at Abdullah Khambar Bldg, Al Rega, Deira, Dubai. Contact: +971 44419800
