Device Trade-In & Buyback Evaluation Guide: Maximizing Cash Value

Understand how screen condition, battery health, and lock status affect trade-in prices, and why fixing a screen before selling maximizes your resale value.

Quick Answer Summary

"Smartphones with cracked screens lose up to 60% of their trade-in value. Replacing a cracked screen for $99 can increase your device's resale trade-in value by over $250, yielding a net profit when selling or upgrading your phone."

### Resale Value Calculation Matrix - **Grade A (Mint Condition)**: No scratches, 85%+ battery health, full functionality -> **100% Max Value**. - **Grade B (Minor Scratches)**: Normal cosmetic wear, fully working -> **80% Max Value**. - **Grade C (Cracked Glass)**: Display shattered, touch working -> **35% Max Value**. - **Grade D (Dead Board / Water Damaged)**: Non-functional -> **10% Scrap Value**.

Pro Tip Repairing your broken screen or battery before trading in yields a significantly higher net return than selling a damaged phone as-is.
