What changes your offer
Storage
More storage means a higher offer. The 1 TB model pays the most at every grade.
Condition grade
Condition makes the biggest difference. On a 256 GB unlocked phone, Flawless pays $405 and Cracked pays $135. Here's how we grade:
- Flawless: Looks new. No marks you can see from 8 inches away.
- Good: Light scratches smaller than a pencil eraser. No dents or chips.
- Fair: Visible scratches, scuffs or a small dent. Everything works.
- Cracked: Cracked screen, back glass or camera lens. Still turns on and works.
Battery health
Flawless needs 85% or higher. Good, Fair and Cracked need 80% or higher. If it's below that, you'll get a revised offer.
Carrier lock
Unlocked phones pay the most. An AT&T, T-Mobile or Verizon lock takes $10–$40 off. Other carriers take $20–$75 off. For a 256 GB in Good condition: $365 unlocked, $335 on AT&T, T-Mobile or Verizon, $310 on other carriers.
Still paying it off
We still buy phones with a balance left on them, but the offer is lowered after inspection.

Storage, carrier, condition. That's it.
4 things to check before you sell
- It powers on. We test every phone, so it has to turn on. A cracked screen is fine; a dead phone isn't.
- Your Google and Samsung accounts are removed. Settings › Accounts and backup › Manage accounts › remove your Google account, then sign out of your Samsung account. This turns off Factory Reset Protection. A phone that's still locked to an account can't be bought.
- It isn't blacklisted. We check every IMEI. Phones reported lost or stolen are turned down at inspection.
- It's backed up and reset. After removing your accounts: Settings › General management › Reset › Factory data reset. Take out your SIM and any memory card.
