Damaged phones (revised price)

If a phone fails to meet the above terms and conditions ticketmastermobile.co.uk will propose a revised value in Ticketmaster Gift Card. The phone will be categorised into one of the following levels:

No phone is ever the same so grading does vary from model to model and depending on the damage and condition but to give you an idea of how any damage can affect our valuation have a look at our table.

Please be aware these are just outline and damage is judged on a phone by phone basis so these reductions may vary depending on how your item can be reused, resold or recycled

Reduction Type of Damage
-5% Signs of general wear and tear
-10% Received without charge in battery, Missing battery, item received with PIN lock / password, Minor cosmetic damage
-25% Cracked Plastic Screen including front and back covers
-75% Not functional (not powering on when charged), Heavy cosmetic damage. Bad cracks, Any LCD damage, Glass smashed screen.
-100% Water damaged, blocked, stolen or fake items.

For certain models like iPhones and other smartphones we test more functions – like software, connectivity and full functionality so you may find that for these devices our grading will sometimes mean we are unable to offer any payment for it. In these instances you can claim your phone back within 3 days, there will be an admin charge of £14.95 for the return of your item(s), speak to customer service for details.

Our admin charge simply covers the costs we occur when we receive, process, test, retest and return your item. We do not make any profit when we return items.

Phones valued £10 or under

If your item is valued £10 or under our grading revision table will not apply, we will only be able to pay 100% of the item or zero amount, this is due to the processing needs required to resell your item or recycle it responsibly.

Grading iPods

  1. It must turn on and off.
  2. The device must be fully functional and complete.
  3. The screen must be working and intact.
  4. The battery, charger, any earphones must be included and fully charged.
  5. The device must not be crushed or liquid-damaged.
  6. The device must be original and meet the manufacturer’s original specifications.

Grading for iPods is more specific and items should be in good condition to receive a payment.  In some instances depending on item type we won’t offer a reduction we will simply be unable to make a payment for it.

Other damage – for ad hoc damage and anything which affects our ability to refurbish or recycle your order there will be a reduction in price to reflect this damage.  In these cases Money4URMobile will have the final decision on all device values.

Pins / Passwords

If you have a PIN or Password on any of your items you should remove this before sending.  If we receive your device and cant test it due to a password we will attempt to call and email for the PIN/Password.  If we don’t get a reply in 24 hours we will need to process with a reduction as we aren’t able to test these items.
