InstaCash understands that over time, devices may show signs of wear, tear, and occasionally, malfunction. It's natural for gadgets to go through a lifespan where they work optimally and then begin to exhibit issues. 

We believe every device, regardless of its condition, has value, and we're here to help you ascertain that value.

Understanding Malfunctions:

  • Variety of Issues: Devices can have a range of malfunctions, from software glitches, battery drain issues, to physical damages like cracked screens or malfunctioning buttons.

  • Diagnostic Tools: Our platform's diagnostic tools are designed to accurately assess the condition of your device, including any malfunctions. This helps us in providing a fair estimate of its value.

  • Transparency: It's essential to be as transparent as possible about the malfunctioning aspects. This ensures that the buyback process is smooth and devoid of any last-minute surprises.


Valuation Implications:

  • Extent of Damage: While we accept malfunctioning devices, it's logical that the extent of the malfunction or damage will impact the device's buyback value.

  • Repairability: Some malfunctions are easier and more cost-effective to repair than others. This also plays a role in determining the device's trade-in value.


In conclusion, while a malfunctioning device will likely fetch a lesser value than a perfectly functional one, it's by no means worthless. InstaCash endeavors to give every device its deserved value, irrespective of its condition.
