“To allow customers to select “it” with peace of mind”
Take used cars as an example. Inspections in the used car market are evaluations of quality. No two used cars are in exactly the same condition. Accordingly, values differ significantly among individual cars. In other words, the values of used cars differ significantly depending on their condition, and inspections are undertaken to determine the value of each car.
In our inspection business, we have strict inspections conducted by Automobile Inspection System, Inc. (AIS), a third-party organization, to allow our customers to trade products with different values with peace of mind without seeing the actual items.
