How Device Grading Works: Get What Your Tech is Worth
One of the most widespread complaints in the gadget trade-in industry involves corporate "re-grading." Outfits routinely hook customers with pristine valuation figures online, only to downgrade the phone to a lower price tier upon receipt for microscopic reasons.
At Selle, we maintain complete transparency. Here is exactly how we look at condition profiles to ensure you get paid honestly for your phone:
Grade A: Brand New / Mint Condition
The unit looks exactly like it came straight out of the production plant. Completely spotless screen surfaces, zero chassis scuffs, 100% operational battery health parameters, and full box components present.
Grade B: Good / Normal Everyday Wear
The device is fully operational but shows natural cosmetic signs of life. This covers minor surface hair scratches, slight paint rub points along charging frames, and basic long-term battery degradation lines.
Grade C: Faulty / Broken Glass Backing
We gladly buy damaged phones. This includes shattered glass backings, cracked front displays, intense pixel bleeds, faulty buttons, or speaker blowouts. We offer excellent cash returns based on scrap component weight values.
Because our diagnostic tests happen face-to-face right at your doorstep, there are no hidden surprises. You agree on the grade, see the evaluation metrics, and get paid instantly.
