Don’t toss that broken phone in a drawer (or the trash). Here’s what actually determines its cash value and how to turn it into money in Terre Haute.
What makes a broken phone worth more
- Model and brand. Newer iPhones and Samsung Galaxy phones hold the most value.
- What’s wrong. A phone with only a cracked screen is worth more than one with several issues.
- Condition of the rest. A clean body, working board, and good battery all add up.
- Completeness. Charger included and accounts logged out makes it more valuable.
Repair, then sell — or just sell?
Sometimes a quick, inexpensive repair raises a phone’s value by more than the repair costs; sometimes it’s better to sell as-is. We’ll tell you honestly which makes sense — see repair or upgrade your phone? Either way, we buy devices in any condition.
