Phone valuation regarding light scratches

Ellen202 — Wed, 16 Oct 2024 20:04:40 GMT

I'd like to know more about the swap value of my phone. The price difference between putting no damage vs some damage is huge but I only have light scuffing/scratches around the camera (none covering camera) and rest of my phone is in perfect condition.

I've looked on the Sky online webpage regarding valuation but nothing mentions scuffs/light scratches.

Does anyone know what they consider to be "good condition" regarding light scratches and scuffing? Other resale websites have a much more comprehensive description so tempted to use those so I have more accurate valuation before committing to a swap.

Hi @Ellen202 from what others have posted on here the company that grades the phones for sky are very strict and any slight damage does affect the valuation. I tend not to return the phones to sky as I have always found I got better valuations from the trade in sights available.
