Condition guide

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 Pixel 8 issues we check at inspection

Screen burn-in on OLED display. Ghost images from status bar, navigation buttons, or keyboard visible on OLED panels after extended use. The Actua Display, while vibrant, is susceptible to this over time.
Battery degradation below 80% health. Original 4575mAh battery showing <80% maximum capacity after 2+ years of use, leading to significantly reduced screen-on time.
Minor cosmetic wear on aluminum frame. Scratches, scuffs, or small dents on the aluminum frame, especially around the edges and corners, due to the nature of the material and typical handling.
Fingerprint sensor unresponsiveness. The under-display fingerprint sensor may become less reliable or stop working due to software glitches or hardware issues.
Camera module issues (software/hardware). Problems with camera focus, image processing, or occasional software crashes related to the camera app. Less common but possible hardware defects in the lenses or sensors.
Overheating during intensive tasks. The device may become noticeably warm or even hot during prolonged gaming or video recording, potentially leading to performance throttling.

From your couch. Free prepaid shipping from all 50 states, a certified data wipe, and cash after inspection, which nearly always beats what a local kiosk or repair shop pays over the counter.
