If you don’t find any issues with Apple Diagnostics the next step will be to take it to an authorised service for a check or send it in to our workshop for a full service check. Please note that if our technicians find any major functional defects we may have to amend the price quote you receive via our website or decline the purchase.

Q: Why do I get 0.00 value for my device?

There may be a few reasons why mResell will not be able to buy a device. If a device has a functional defect or major cosmetic defect, then the model may be too expensive or uneconomical to repair and resell. However, in order for us to find the exact reason for your valuation, please provide us with your product type and model, serial number and what answers you provided to our additional questions, and we will get back to you.

Q: I have always had my iPhone in a protective case, but when I took it off, the case left marks on the phone. Will this affect the value?

If the marks are ‘uncleanable’ this will affect the price, as you will have to select the condition ‘Minor cosmetic defect’. Please make sure to clean and remove any stickers before sending in your product. If you are unsure what donation to select based on the marks, please feel free to send us an email with photos and we will better be able to provide an accurate quote.
