SM Mobile Traders sells pre-owned devices from our shop and workshop in Wetton, Cape Town. Every device is checked, graded honestly and sold with a 12-month warranty.
How we work
Every device goes through the same steps
01
Bought with checks
Five checks before we pay for a device, and the seller’s ID on record.
02
Graded on the bench
A cosmetic grade, the battery health, and every function tested.
03
Photographed as it is
The listing shows that exact device, marks and all.
04
Sold with a warranty
12 months from us, on top of your legal rights.
How we grade
What the grades mean
01
Category 1
Looks close to new. No marks on the screen, and none on the body you would see at arm’s length.
02
Category 2
Light signs of use. Fine marks on the body or frame; the screen is clean when it’s on.
03
Category 3
Visible wear. Scratches or scuffs you’ll notice. Everything works; it’s the best value.
04
Battery health
Every listing shows the battery health the device reports. We don’t sell a device under 70%: it gets a new battery first.
