How to prepare to sell your SGH-S500i

Selling your SGH-S500i 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 SGH-S500i’s Functionality & Condition

Grab your SGH-S500i 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.
  • Performance: Ensure your SGH-S500i powers on, responds correctly, and connects to Wi-Fi/Bluetooth.
  • Accessories: Grab the original SGH-S500i accessories (charger, power cable) are available and functional.
Step 2: Remove Personal Data from Your Device

Before handing over your SGH-S500i, erase all personal data to protect your privacy. Follow these general steps:

  1. Back Up Your Data: Use cloud storage or a computer to save important files, contacts, and photos.
  2. Sign Out of Accounts: Deactivate any connected accounts (e.g., Apple ID, Google, Samsung, Microsoft) to prevent activation locks.
  3. Factory Reset your SGH-S500i: Navigate to the settings menu and select “Reset” or “Erase All Content.” Ensure the process is complete before shutting down the device.
  4. Remove External Storage (If Applicable): Take out SD cards or SIM cards before packaging.
Step 3: What to Bring

We'll pack and ship your SGH-S500i for you but remember to bring the following items:

  • Power Cable & Charger: The original SGH-S500i adapter and cable add value and make the device more appealing.
  • Original Box & Packaging (If Available): Providing the original box improves presentation and protection.
  • Accessories: Include any extras that came with the SGH-S500i, such as a stylus, dock, or protective case.
Step 4: Final Touches Before Selling

A clean and well-presented device makes a big difference. Take the time to do the following:

  • 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.
