Know exactly what you are buying

A phone should hold no surprises. Here is how we grade, and what you see before you buy.

How it works

  1. 1

    Tested and graded

    Every phone is checked and given an honest cosmetic grade from S1 to S5.

  2. 2

    A price for every grade

    See the price of each condition and pick the one that fits your budget.

  3. 3

    Read before you buy

    Photos, specifications and any damage are written on the product page.

The five grades

The grade describes how the phone looks. It does not mean a lower grade works worse.

  • S1

    Excellent

    Like new. Best choice for personal use.

  • S2

    Very Good

    Minor signs of use. Great for personal use.

  • S3

    Good

    Visible wear. Best for shopkeepers and resale.

  • S4

    Fair

    Heavier wear. Best for shopkeepers and resale.

  • S5

    Acceptable

    Cosmetic damage, fully working. Best for resale.

What you see on every product page

  • The grade of each option and its own price
  • Photos of the phone
  • Condition notes, including any damage

Warranty and returns

Where a phone comes with a warranty or a return window, it is written in that phone's details. Read them before you buy.
