How device grading works before and after pickup

A useful grade is not just a letter. It is a concise way to communicate evidence about one physical device, including function, cosmetic wear, battery information, and included items.

Self-assessment starts the estimate

During buyback, the seller identifies the category, brand, model, variant, and condition. Those answers support a preliminary estimate, not a guaranteed final payment.

  • Choose the exact model and storage variant
  • Report functional issues rather than hiding them
  • Describe screen and body wear separately
  • List only the accessories included at pickup

Physical inspection confirms the evidence

After pickup, a technician can compare the submitted answers with the physical unit. Model and identifier checks, functional tests, cosmetic review, battery recording, and accessories all contribute to the final internal record.

The next buyer needs more than a grade

A product listing should show condition grade alongside battery health, color, storage, warranty information, availability, and meaningful inspection notes. That context makes two devices of the same model easier to compare.

Where the 32-Point Quality Check fits

The quality check organizes the platform's inspection record across identity, core functions, display and controls, connectivity, power, battery, cameras and audio, and physical condition. It does not replace device-specific disclosures.
