Grades explained
Fully tested and working — grade reflects cosmetic appearance only.
- Grade A: This is our best cosmetic grade — the screen is scratch-free and the casing is close to mint condition, with at most tiny micro-marks.
- Grade B: The screen is scratch-free. There are light scratches on the back or edges — visible if you look closely, not something that jumps out.
- Grade C: There are a few faint scratches on the screen, only visible when it's switched on, and the casing shows visible scratches or scuffs.
