01 / OBJECTIVE VALUATION

Standardized 4-tier grading eliminates counter guesswork.

Prevent counter staff from overpaying for scratched phones or losing money on undetected screen burn-in. FixDeck enforces objective appraisal rubrics.

Grade A Like New

Flawless Pristine

Zero micro-scratches on glass, 100% battery health (>90%), all original OEM parts intact, no frame marks. Top market trade value.

Grade B Very Good

Light Everyday Wear

Minor faint surface swirls visible under direct lighting, no deep gouges, clean housing, fully functional hardware and FaceID.

Grade C Fair Condition

Heavy Cosmetic Wear

Noticeable scuffs, frame corner dings, minor screen scratches that don't impair touch. Battery service recommended (<80%).

Grade D Defective / Parts

Damaged / Broken

Shattered front/back glass, dead OLED lines, defective cameras, or non-functional ports. Valued at parts salvage minus bench labor.

02 / LEGAL & COMPLIANCE

100% compliant with police and second-hand dealer laws.

Buying pre-owned electronics from the public carries strict legal reporting obligations. Failure to record customer identification can result in heavy police fines or asset forfeiture.

FixDeck features built-in compliance workflows: take a photo of the seller's state ID or driver's license with the counter tablet, record their full address, and obtain a legally binding digital glass signature certifying rightful ownership.
