A Silent Revolution in Kenya
There is a silent revolution happening in Kenya.
A powerful one.
A profitable one.
And very few people are talking about it openly.
Every single day, ordinary Kenyans — some jobless, some fresh from campus, some tired of the 8–5 grind, some just curious about business — are quietly earning KSh 100,000, 150,000, even 300,000 per month selling refurbished phones and laptops.
No big capital.
No fancy shop.
No big team.
Just the right mindset, a good supplier, and consistency.
This is not theory.
It is the truth.
It is the blueprint.
And if you take it seriously, it can be the starting point of a business that transforms your income forever.
Why Refurbished Electronics Are Booming in Kenya
1. Kenya Is a Digital Nation
From school kids on tablets, to TikTok creators, to online freelancers, to remote workers… everyone needs a device.
Every day someone is looking for:
- A smartphone
- A laptop
- A tablet
- A device for school or work
This creates constant demand.
2. New Devices Are Too Expensive
- An iPhone 14 Pro Max costs KSh 150,000+.
- A good new laptop costs KSh 80,000+.
Most Kenyans can’t afford brand new — but they still want quality. Refurbished is the perfect middle ground:
- 60% cheaper
- Original
- High performance
- Tested and verified
3. People Upgrade Every Year
Phones are no longer “till they die.” People upgrade yearly. This means:
- More old devices are sold abroad
- More refurbished units enter the market
- More affordable stock for Kenyan resellers
This cycle will never end. Demand will only rise.
How Much Money Are Kenyans Actually Making?
Let’s break down the numbers realistically:
- 15 phones at KSh 5,000 profit each → 75,000
- 5 laptops at KSh 10,000 profit each → 50,000
- Total: 125,000 per month
Even if you are slow and manage:
- 3 phones per week
- 1 laptop per week
You still end up around KSh 100,000 after four weeks.
Some sellers hit six figures by:
- Selling iPhones only
- Selling laptops only
- Selling tablets only
- Selling a mix of everything
The business is flexible.

The Secret Weapon: Grade A Refurbished
Most six-figure sellers don’t deal with brand new. They deal with Grade A refurbished.
What is Grade A?
- Used abroad
- Clean condition
- Fully tested
- Almost like new
- Excellent battery health
- No cracks, no hidden faults
Why Grade A is powerful:
- You buy at half the price
- You sell at 70%–85% of new price
- Customers trust the quality
- Complaints are very low
👉 Example: A Grade A iPhone 11 in Dubai might cost KSh 25,000.
You sell it at KSh 37,000–40,000 in Kenya.
Profit is clean.
The Human Side: Why This Business Needs HEART
This business is not just about buying and selling. It’s about dealing with people.
To hit KSh 100,000+ per month you must:
- Answer customer questions confidently
- Offer after-sales support
- Explain specs clearly
- Handle small fears from customers
- Build trust
People don’t just buy the device — they buy YOU.
If you are honest, consistent, and reliable, you will never lack customers.
If you lie or rush deals… you’ll fail.
The Blueprint: From Zero to KSh 100,000 Per Month
- Start With One Item
- Maybe an iPhone, laptop, or tablet.
- Sell it. Make profit.
- Reinvest
- Don’t eat the profits.
- Buy two devices, then three, then five.
- Build Loyalty
- One happy customer will send you siblings, workmates, friends, family.
- Soon, 50% of your sales will be referrals.
- Get Consistent Stock
- Reliable supplier with live testing videos, guarantees, and honest pricing.
- Grow Your Brand
- WhatsApp status, TikTok video, Facebook post, customer reviews.
- That’s all it takes.
- Scale
- Add iPads, AirPods, watches, chargers, accessories.
- Before you know it, you’re crossing the KSh 100,000 per month line like it’s normal.
What Will Stop You From Making KSh 100,000 Per Month?
It’s not suppliers.
It’s not capital.
It’s not competition.
It’s not the economy.
The real enemy is fear.
Fear of failing.
Fear of people talking.
Fear of starting small.
Fear of losing money.
Fear of trying something new.
👉 Every person making over KSh 100,000 per month in this business started scared.
Some started with one device.
Some started with KSh 5,000.
Some started with zero experience.
But they started.
And that’s the ONLY difference between those who win and those who watch others win.
Why YOU Can Do This Too
This business does not care:
- How old you are
- Where you come from
- Whether you have a job
- Whether you have a degree
- Whether you’ve failed before
It only cares about:
- Your hunger
- Your willingness to learn
- Your consistency
- Your courage to begin
If you have these four things, it’s only a matter of time before you join the KSh 100,000+ per month club.
