How to prepare to sell your Galaxy Y

Selling your Galaxy Y can be a great way to earn extra cash while ensuring your device gets a second life. To maximize your resale value and ensure a smooth transaction, follow this step-by-step guide.

Step 1: Determine your Galaxy Y’s Functionality & Condition

Grab your Galaxy Y and determine which Eco Toreda Condition Standard best describes it.

Screen & Body: Look for scratches, dents, cracks, or discoloration.
Buttons & Ports: Test all buttons, charging ports, and any other connectors.
Battery Health: In general, a battery with 80% or more battery charging capacity is considered Good. If yours is less than 80%, choose Poor Battery.

Accessories: Grab the original Galaxy Y accessories (charger, power cable) are available and functional.

Step 2: Remove Personal Data from Your Device

Before handing over your Galaxy Y, erase all personal data to protect your privacy. Follow these general steps:

Back Up Your Data: Use cloud storage or a computer to save important files, contacts, and photos.
Sign Out of Accounts: Deactivate any connected accounts (e.g., Apple ID, Google, Samsung, Microsoft) to prevent activation locks.
Factory Reset your Galaxy Y: Navigate to the settings menu and select “Reset” or “Erase All Content.” Ensure the process is complete before shutting down the device.
Remove External Storage (If Applicable): Take out SD cards or SIM cards before packaging.

Step 4: Final Touches Before Selling

Remove Stickers & Decals: Any personal markings or stickers should be peeled off carefully.
Clean the Device: Wipe down the screen and body with a microfiber cloth and an alcohol-based cleaner.
