About NorthLadder

NorthLadder, headquartered in Dubai, is the region’s fastest-growing digital platform enabling frictionless pre-owned electronics trade.

Most of us know what it feels like to sell a pre-owned device – a smartphone, a laptop, or a tablet. The pre-owned market is in-transparent, and finding a fair price for your asset is daunting. Even if you get a fair price, meeting the buyer, negotiating the price, shipping the asset, and waiting for payment could be exhausting. And then there is the worry of figuring out what happens to the data on your device. This is why NorthLadder came to be. We are the region’s only auction-driven selling platform for pre-owned electronic devices. With our thoughtfully created service, people can sell their devices to a network of global buyers and get cash instantly, safely, dignifiedly, and hassle-free.
