Damaged & AS-IS Phones

AS-IS phones for repair and parts

These devices have a known, disclosed fault and are priced accordingly. The specific problem is named on every product page — a cracked screen, a failed camera, a bad battery, heavy scratches, a housing dent. Nothing is hidden and nothing is guessed at.

They suit repair shops, parts harvesters and anyone comfortable fixing a phone themselves. If you want a device that simply works, shop our tested and working phones instead — everything there passed a full functional inspection.

How TrueGrade grading works

Every device runs a 25-point inspection before listing — screen, battery, cameras, buttons, speakers, microphones, charging port, biometrics, and the cellular and Wi-Fi radios. Function and cosmetics are graded separately, so light wear never hides a functional fault. See phone grading explained and the full standard on our grading and damage information page.

• Grade A (Excellent) — minimal to no visible wear
• Grade B (Great) — light signs of use, fully functional
• Grade C (Fair) — visible wear, fully functional, best price
• Grade C- (Rough) — heavier cosmetic wear, still functional

What AS-IS means here

• The fault is named. We state what is wrong rather than labelling it “untested” or “as found”.
• It is not graded A to C-. Our cosmetic grades apply to working devices; AS-IS sits outside that scale.
• Assume the listed fault is the floor, not the ceiling. A phone with a smashed screen may have further damage that the screen hides.
• Carrier lock and activation status are listed where known. Check the IMEI before buying for resale — see how to check an IMEI.

Returns and shipping

Every device carries a 90-day return window from delivery, roughly three times what most used-phone sellers offer. We ship from Coppell, Texas, in the Dallas–Fort Worth metro, across the US and internationally. Terms are on our shipping and returns page.

Buying more than one

We supply resellers, repair shops and exporters as well as individual buyers. No minimum order quantity — only a $500 minimum spend, and you can mix models, grades and carriers to reach it. See wholesale cell phones.
