How we grade every device that comes in, in plain English.

Condition	What it means
Flawless	No scratches or scuffs anywhere. Screen and body look like new. Fully working, no cracks.
Good	Light, minor scratches or scuffs from normal use, none deep. No cracks or dents. Fully working.
Fair	Heavier scratches, scuffs, or a small dent, but no cracks in the glass or screen. Fully working.
Cracked screen	Cracked or chipped screen or back glass, but it still powers on and the touchscreen works.
Broken	Powers on but has a fault, a bad display, or a part not working (camera, buttons, Face ID).
Won't power on	Won't turn on or hold a charge. We still buy it for parts.

At inspection

Common AirPods Pro 3 issues we check at inspection

Reduced battery life/capacity. After extended use, the battery capacity significantly degrades, leading to shorter listening times and frequent recharging.
One earbud not connecting or intermittent connection. Bluetooth connectivity issues with one or both earbuds, leading to one earbud dropping out or failing to pair.
Charging case not charging or holding charge. The charging case fails to charge the earbuds or itself, often due to a faulty battery or charging port in the case.
Sound quality issues (crackling, static, low volume). Distortion, static, or uneven volume levels in one or both earbuds, indicating driver or internal component failure.
Physical damage (scratches, cracks on earbuds or case). Cosmetic wear and tear, including scratches on the glossy plastic finish of the earbuds and case, or minor cracks.
Microphone not working or poor call quality. The microphones in the earbuds fail, making calls or voice commands unusable.
