     THIS AMENDMENT TO STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT is made and entered into as
of the 19th day of August, 1996, between Reconditioned Systems, Inc., an
Arizona corporation (the "Company"), and Wayne R. Collignon ("Optionee").

RECITALS:

          A.   The Company and Optionee entered into a Stock Option
Agreement effective August 10, 1995 (the "Agreement") pursuant to which the
Company granted to Optionee the Option to purchase all or any part of up to
100,000 Shares at a purchase price of $2.75 per share.

          B.   Since the effective date of the Agreement, the Company's
Shares have been reverse split on a six-to-one basis.  Thus, the Option now
gives Optionee the right to purchase up to 16,666 Shares at a purchase
price of $16.50 per share.

          C.   The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the
Company, pursuant to resolutions duly adopted at a meeting on August 19,
1996, has directed that the Option be repriced.

shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Agreement.

          acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Option shall be
          one dollar ($1.00) per Share, which equals the fair
          market value of the Shares on the date of this
          Amendment.  The purchase price shall be paid in the
          manner set forth in Paragraph 11."

          2.   Paragraph 3 of the Agreement is amended to read in its
entirety as follows:

          pursuant to the exercise of the Option as provided
          herein shall be fully vested as of the date hereof;
          provided, however, that Optionee hereby agrees not to
          sell, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or
          otherwise dispose of any Shares acquired upon exercise
          of this Option until August 19, 1997."

          3.   Subject to the approval of Norwest Business Credit, Inc., a
Minnesota corporation ("Norwest"), pursuant to that certain Credit and
Security Agreement dated as of February 26, 1996 between the Company and
