Inspect the areas that buyers touch, operate and examine closely, as well as the main display panel.

Key areas

  • Handle darkening, cracking and tackiness.
  • Corner wear and exposed underlying material.
  • Hardware scratches, plating loss and closure function.
  • Lining odour, staining and powdering.

Shop procedure

  1. Rank issues by their effect on use.
  2. Address hygiene and functional risks first.
  3. Assess the value of care for cosmetic issues.
  4. Record untreated areas in the condition report.

Do not improve only the camera-facing panel while neglecting function and frequently handled areas.
