Find your exact phone. Storage is in Settings → General → About. Unlocked means it works on any carrier; carrier locked means it only works on the carrier it was bought through, which is why it's worth less.

What moves the price
- Activation lock. An iCloud- or Google-locked phone can only be sold for parts, whatever its cosmetic condition.
- Powers on or not. A phone that boots can be tested; one that doesn't is priced as a gamble on the board.
- Screen. To a repair buyer, an original screen, even a cracked one, is often worth more than an aftermarket replacement.
- Storage and carrier lock. These move a phone within its grade's range rather than out of it.
- Water damage. A triggered indicator grades a phone damaged at best, even if it works today.
