Can I Sell a Damaged or Broken Mobile Phone?

Yes, you can sell a damaged or broken phone for cash. Many believe that if the phone is old and heavily used, it has no value. Even if you have a 5 to 7-year-old device with noticeable wear and tear, locked to a network or poor battery, you are still entitled to its fair value. However, the more you wait, the more it loses its value. There is no point holding on to an old device for too long. Instead, sell your broken phone to Mobile Guru Australia and get the best price in the market. You can pay your bills or buy something with that extra cash. We are a reputed Australian company that purchases damaged phones for their parts. Before you sell your mobile phone, let’s find out how we classify your device as broken or functional.

Classifications of Broken Phone and Working Phone

It’s evident that you will get more money for a functional phone as compared to a broken one. However, you must first identify whether the mobile is broken or working. How do you know that? While it’s not rocket science, we still need to consider a few factors to determine if a phone falls into the broken or functional category. Once you figure that out, you will get the ballpark estimate of your mobile’s condition.
