The products we buy and sell are graded according to their cosmetic condition, functionality and the accessories they come with. 


All phones, tablets and hardware (excluding consoles) are graded as one of the following: 

  • A - Mint - These products must be in mint/new condition. The product must be immaculate; if it is not then it is unfortunately not deemed as an A grade. All accessories means everything that would have originally come in the box. These must be official and the same condition as the product. These items also require their original box and inserts.
  • B - Good - Product in good condition with all essential accessories. No box required.
  • C - Working - Product in poor condition and fully working with all essential accessories. No box required.
  • F - Non-Working - (Applicable for select Phones only). Product must be intact and not crushed, bent, or snapped. Must pass our IMEI check. No accessories required. All Apple products must have their iCloud account deactivated and Android v5.1+ devices must have Google Accounts removed.
