Why buy a used iPhone from a local shop instead of Marketplace?

Buying from a stranger on Facebook Marketplace, OfferUp or Craigslist can save a few dollars. It can also leave you holding a phone that is iCloud locked, blacklisted, still being financed, or running on a worn-out battery, with nobody to call when it fails.

Here is what you get at Phones4Cash instead:

  • IMEI checked. Every phone is verified clean: not blacklisted, not reported lost or stolen.
  • No Activation Lock surprises. Phones sold for normal use are fully signed out and ready to set up.
  • Battery health disclosed. You see the number before you pay.
  • Parts disclosed. If a phone has an aftermarket screen or battery, we tell you upfront and price it accordingly.
  • A counter to come back to. If something goes wrong in 90 days, you walk in and we handle it.

Our grades, explained in plain English

Every iPhone is graded before it is listed, and the grade is on the tag.

GradeWhat it looks likeBattery
A — Like NewNo scratches, dents or scuffs. Looks nearly brand new.90% or higher
B — Very Good1 to 3 very light screen scratches, minor scuffs, no cracks. Best value for most people.80% or higher
C — GoodVisible wear, small dents or scuffs. Works perfectly.75% or higher
D — FairHeavy cosmetic wear, reliable performance. Lowest price.Below 75%

Every grade is 100% functional: Face ID or Touch ID, cameras, speakers, microphones, charging port, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and buttons are all tested.

What is tested in the 68-point diagnostic?

Before an iPhone goes on sale, we check the display and touch response, battery health and charging, front and rear cameras, speakers and microphones, Face ID or Touch ID, every button, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular signal, and carrier and lock status. If it fails, it gets repaired in-house or it does not get sold.

Questions about buying a used iPhone

Is it safe to buy a used iPhone?
Yes, if the seller verifies it. The risks are Activation Lock, blacklisted IMEIs, unpaid financing and hidden battery wear. We check all four on every phone and back the sale with a 90-day warranty.
What is the difference between used and refurbished?
A used phone is sold as it came in. A refurbished phone has been tested, cleaned and repaired where needed. Everything we sell has been through our 68-point diagnostic, and any replaced parts are disclosed.
Are your iPhones unlocked?
Many are. Each listing shows whether the phone is unlocked or tied to a specific carrier, so you know before you buy.
What does the 90-day warranty cover?
Covers any hardware defect for 90 days: battery, screen, charging, cameras and buttons. It doesn't cover drops, liquid damage or cracked screens. Bring it in and we repair or replace it.
Can I return it if I change my mind?
We accept returns on defective devices within 14 days of purchase. See our return policy for full details.
Do you price match?
We match or beat qualifying verified offers on a comparable model, storage, condition and carrier status.
How much can I save versus buying new?
A used iPhone 15 (128GB) starts around $369 at Phones4Cash right now — hundreds less than a comparable new model, and it still comes with a 90-day warranty. Prices depend on model and grade; check the live shop for today's stock.
