refurbisher

Makes things new

A refurbisher restores used or damaged goods to working condition for resale.

The term appears most often with electronics—phones, computers, appliances: Buy from a certified refurbisher to get warranty coverage.

Refurbishers occupy a middle ground between manufacturers and secondhand sellers, offering products cheaper than new but more reliable than as-is used items.
