Refurbished grades, explained
The grade only describes how the outside looks. In every case the device should work perfectly.
Fair
Visible signs of use (scratches or small dents) on the body and sometimes the screen. Works 100%.
e.g. £200
Good
Light marks only visible up close. The most common balance between price and looks.
e.g. £220
Excellent
Practically no marks to the naked eye. The closest look to new.
e.g. £250
Example prices, not live. The real price depends on the seller, storage and timing.
