Device Condition Guidelines

  • Updated

When registering a device, please select the condition category that best matches its functionality and appearance. 


Good – Fully Functional & Gently Used

Your device is in great working order with minimal signs of use.

  • All features work (screen, buttons, camera, speakers, etc.)

  • Cosmetic condition: only minor wear such as light scratches

  • No major damage: no dents, cracks, or deep scuffs

Use this category for phones that have been well cared for.


Worn – Fully Functional with Visible Wear

Your device works perfectly but shows noticeable cosmetic wear.

  • All features work (touchscreen, battery, buttons, camera, etc.)

  • Visible wear: scratches, scuffs, dents, or small chips on frame, back, or screen

  • No cracked screens (cracks move the device to the Faulty category)

Use this category for devices that look used but perform normally.


Faulty – Minor Issues, Still Usable

Your device has some problems but remains operational.

  • Functionality issues: e.g., low battery health, broken button, faulty camera, or microphone

  • Minor screen issues: discoloration (white spots, dead pixels, image burn), touch sensitivity issues, or cracks

  • Cosmetic damage: cracks on the frame/back/screen, loose parts, or broken camera glass

Use this category if the phone turns on and works, but not everything functions properly.


Broken – Major Issues, Not Fully Functional

Your device is non-functional or heavily damaged.

  • Does not power on, or only works when plugged in

  • Severe screen damage: blank display or large unusable areas

  • Major structural damage: bent/deformed frame, broken internal parts

  • Swollen battery – any signs of bulging make the device unsafe and can not be sent in!

Use this category if the phone is not usable.


Tip: Always choose the most accurate category to avoid delays in processing and pricing.
