Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (best for selling 'for parts or not working' electronics), Mercari, or local buy/sell groups
Selling Tips
List strictly as 'For Parts or Not Working' to avoid returns from buyers expecting a functional phone. Accurately photograph all damage. Mention if you know the iCloud status (activation lock status) or carrier lock status, as this heavily impacts the parts value. Ship securely in a padded bubble mailer.
