What Devices Can You Sell To Mobile Guru From Melbourne?
You can sell almost anything, whether the device is working, used, old, cracked, or even “dead.” If it’s a phone, tablet, or iPad, we’re likely buying it. Here’s what Melbourne sellers bring us most often:
What Condition Is Your Phone In? Our Grading Standards
To get an accurate quote, you will need to select one of five condition grades. Here’s what each one means so you can confidently choose the right option:
Mint
These devices look brand new with no scratches, scuffs, or marks anywhere. Because they are in perfect condition, they qualify for our highest payout.
Good
Well-maintained devices with light signs of everyday use and a clean screen. The phone must be fully functional and free from significant damage.
Fair
These devices show honest wear like noticeable scratches on the screen or body. While they show their age, they must still be fully functional.
Partially Damaged
This applies to devices with a cracked screen, damaged casing, or specific hardware issues. We buy these as long as the device still powers on and functions to some extent.
Faulty / Dead
Devices that are severely damaged, have major faults, or will not turn on at all. We still buy these for the value of their internal components.
Got a Broken Phone or Cracked Screen? We Still Buy It.
Many don’t realise that a broken phone still holds real value. Your cracked iPhone isn’t a waste, and that iPad with the shattered screen in your drawer isn’t worthless. You can sell damaged and faulty devices every day and get real cash for them.
We accept devices with:
- Shattered Screens: Cracked glass or “bleeding” LCDs
- Power Issues: Swollen batteries, faulty charging ports, or devices that won’t turn on
- Liquid Damage: From coffee spills to accidental drops in the Yarra
- Internal Faults: Broken speakers, faulty buttons, or software boot loops
- Cosmetic Wear: Deep scratches or bent frames from heavy use

Selling Your Phone in Melbourne: What You Should Know
Melbourne is a major hub for tech, and there are plenty of ways to sell an old phone. You could try Facebook Marketplace or other online platforms, but that usually means meeting strangers, haggling over price, or risking no-shows. You could also visit a retail store for a trade-in, but they almost always pay less than a dedicated specialist.
With Mobile Guru, there are no strangers and no stress. Get a genuine online quote, drop your device at our South Melbourne location, or use our free Australia Post shipping service. Whether you’re in the CBD, South Melbourne, or the outer suburbs, you’ll enjoy a professional service and receive your payment via bank transfer within 24 hours of inspection.
