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.
