The Platform

How Deslotted works.

Every part on Deslotted is tested, certified, and tied to its serial number in our permanent database. No guesswork. No surprises. Here's exactly what that means.

01 / Trust

Every grade is earned

Parts are stress-tested and certified in-house before listing. No self-reported conditions. No inflated descriptions.

02 / Transparency

Grades follow the hardware

Once graded, a part's score is tied to its serial number permanently — visible on every future listing.

03 / Custody

We hold the inventory

Deslotted takes physical custody of every part before listing. That's how we guarantee the grade matches the hardware.

The Process

From submission to sale.

Every part goes through the same structured verification — no shortcuts, no exceptions.

i

Submit hardware

Send a supported part to Deslotted for testing — whether you plan to sell or not.

ii

Standardized testing

Each part is stress-tested for performance, stability, and condition using a repeatable process.

iii

Assign a grade

The part receives a letter grade based on measured thresholds, plus a certificate of authentication.

iv

Record by serial

The serial number and grade are stored in Deslotted's database — the grade sticks to the hardware.

v

List and sell

Once graded, the seller can list on Deslotted. The grade is locked and cannot be altered on relisting.

Enforcement Layer

Serial-number grading database.

Once graded, a part's result is permanently tied to its serial number. Sellers cannot relist the same part later without the original grade appearing again on Deslotted.

Deslotted can also print the grade alongside the serial number and affix it physically to the component — creating a visible match between the graded part and the database record.

For Buyers & Sellers

Why it matters.

For buyers

Stop guessing. Every listing shows a real grade backed by standardized testing — not a seller's opinion. You know exactly what you're getting before you pay.

For sellers

A verified grade makes your listing stand out. High-quality hardware gets the price it deserves — and buyers are more likely to commit when condition is proven, not promised.
