A broken phone is not automatically scrap. Screens, boards and cameras still have parts value, and many lightly damaged devices are repaired and resold. The online quote is built for this — as long as you describe the faults honestly.
Cracked glass with a working display usually means a predictable deduction. Dead touch, lines on the panel or a phone that will not power on land in a different band because repair cost jumps.
Water damage and missing parts are priced carefully. If the device powers on after a spill, say so. If it does not, say that too. Guessing in either direction only creates friction at pickup.
Even non-working devices can be better sold than stored. You clear a drawer, avoid e-waste guilt, and often walk away with more than you expected for something you had already written off.
