What is Condition grades?

Condition grades are the named tiers a refurbisher uses to describe how worn a device is, running from a top tier down to a lower one. The label drives both the price and your expectations for the screen, battery and body, so a wider ladder lets you trade cost against cosmetic wear. Clove Technology and ALTERNATE publish broad ladders: like new, very good and good and like new, excellent and very good. Back Market and asgoodasnew publish theirs as like new, excellent and good and like new, excellent and good, while BuyDig lists only like new. Read each description, since the same word can cover different wear on different makers.
