Now let me show you variants - one of the most powerful reseller features. A variant is an upgraded version of an item you can list at a better condition and price.
From the item, or from My Equipment, click action and create variant. A variant is an upgraded version of the original - refurbished, re-certified or rebuilt, with added parts, labor and warranty - usually a better condition and a higher price. The system names it and creates the variant, and jumps you to the variant page. Across the top are the variant menus - dashboard, photos, item details, deal inputs, expenses, price and requests - and a timeline from registered to delivered. On the right is the variant economy - it transparently shows the fees, the gross payout to you the reseller, what the item's owner receives, and what reuse it receives. Think of a variant as a project: you add value, parts and warranty, and you know up front exactly how much you and everyone else will make.
