Gradation

All our phones are going through the same testing process to ensure full functionality and performance. However, some phones are in a better physical condition than others.

Like New (A)

While clearly a used device the phone will be in excellent cosmetic condition. The front and rear housing will show little or no sign of wear, with only very minor scratches or marks and no cracks present. One would look at such a phone and think “its owner really loved of this thing” or “this phone is almost new”.

Very Good (B)

Indicates the phone will be in good overall condition. The front and rear housing will show signs of wear and may have some scratches present from general day to day use. One would look at such a phone an think “its owner took good care of this – or didn’t use it much”. The screen will be clear or mostly clear.

Good (C)

This grade is for a mobile that while clearly very well used is in good condition, but will have some spots that are just a bit “too” worn for a Very Good Grade. This may mean the front or rear housing will have clear signs of usage and will have scratches or scuffs. Edges may have some finish worn off. The phone may have a more worn back but the screen is very clear. Good Grade phones are often considered the best balance between value and condition.

Fair (D)

Indicates the phone will be in average or worn /poor cosmetic condition. The front and rear housing may have scratches or cracks however the screen will be intact an full working order. The housing may have some spots that are dull from wear (such as from a case) to the point of paint coming off on corners. The screen will most likely have a number of hairline marks and some scratches. One would look at such a phone and think “this is a well used phone, but with a cover it will look fine”
