Grades and conditions
Last updated: April 2026
Every serialized unit in Techfleet Sync carries a single grade letter from S down to F. The grade is the buyer-facing quality signal — it sits on every product card, filters the storefront, and drives per-grade pricing.
What each grade means
- S — Mint. Indistinguishable from new. No signs of use under any lighting. Original box and accessories where applicable.
- A — Near-new. Light signs of use only visible on close inspection. No scratches, dents, or cosmetic defects.
- B — Very good. Minor cosmetic wear visible at normal viewing distance. No deep scratches or dents.
- C — Good. Noticeable cosmetic wear — light scratches on the back or frame. Screen is clean.
- D — Fair. Heavy cosmetic wear and/or minor screen marks. Fully functional.
- F — Damaged or parts. Cracked, non-functional, or sold for parts only.
Grade drives price
Add a unit at a base price, and the storefront automatically adjusts the listed price by grade according to your configured step. Most merchants run an S-to-F spread of roughly 100% → 95% → 85% → 75% → 60% → 30%, but you can tune the curve per product or leave it global.
Setting the grade on a unit
- Open the product detail page
- Click Add Unit
- Scan or type the IMEI or serial number
- Pick the grade from the dropdown
- Fill in any per-unit attributes (battery health, carrier, color, storage)
- Save — the unit joins the stock list
Filtering on the storefront
Buyers see a grade filter on every category page and on the product detail page. Selecting B+ for example shows only S, A, and B units. The filter respects the buyer-link tier so wholesale buyers can restrict themselves to A-grade and above.
What grade is NOT
Grade covers overall cosmetic condition only. Functional attributes are tracked separately on each unit so buyers can filter on them independently:
- Battery health percentage (phones and laptops)
- Screen burn-in level (OLED displays)
- Carrier lock status (unlocked, AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile)
- iCloud or Google account lock status
- Original accessories included or not
Consistency is everything. Stick to one grading rubric across your whole team — a B unit from your Dallas warehouse should look the same as a B from Winnipeg. Write your rubric down, print it above the intake bench, and retrain quarterly.
