Minthit How to sell used phones
There are two ways to sell used phones on Mintit: selling them at real-time prices using a used phone ATM machine, or sending the phone to Mintit’s headquarters for a quote and receiving a deposit.
If you send a package to the head office, you can get slapped, so people use an ATM machine called Mintit Connector and sell it if they get a quote they like, and don’t sell it if they don’t.
Install Mintit price inquiry app
In the past, you could check the price of Galaxy or iPhone right away through the Mintit website. Recently, you have to install the Mintit app to know the used price.
If you install the app, you can be the first to check the price of the smartphone you are currently using.

Minthit used phone rating
The grades of used phones purchased at Mintit are Grade A, Grade B, Grade C, and Grade D. Even if you look at reviews on various blogs or YouTube, you won’t find anything that says it was sold with an A grade. You can see that it is usually purchased in grades B~D.
I’ve roughly summarized the status of each grade.
Grade A: Same grade as a new phone (fine scratches)
Grade B: There are slight scratches or scratches on the edges or liquid crystal display.
Grade C: Broken phone with damaged screen or afterimage, etc.
Grade D: LCD damage (screen lines, bruises, etc., no screen)
It is said that Grade A cannot be set even if you push in a phone of the highest standard, so if you are curious, please give it a try.

How to use Mintit and how to sell it at a high price
From my personal experience, there are two ways to sell used phones at a high price on Mintit. They sell them when new phones are released and there are additional compensation events, and they sell phones with damaged LCDs.
Additional reward event
When the Galaxy Z Flip 5 is released soon, Mintit will provide additional compensation for existing used phones. It depends on the model, but it is recommended to sell it if an additional compensation amount of about 100,000 to 150,000 won is set.
The largest amount of additional compensation was paid for phones that were replaced every two years, which is when people usually replace their phones. It seems likely that many additional rewards will be paid to the Z Flip 2, Z Flip 3, Fold 2, Fold 3, Galaxy S21, S22 series, and Note 20 series.
Smartphone with damaged LCD
This is my experience. When selling a used phone to a used phone company, is there a little dust on the screen? There was a phone that was almost worth the price of a used phone because of a small bruise. Unlike company employees who watch with eagle eyes, machines watch and may make mistakes.
I have an experience where I bought a phone that had a screen problem with a simple screen break and sold it at a higher price of about 150,000 won at the time.
In other words, a D grade phone was sold as a C grade using Mintit. If you are lucky, it may be possible to sell it as B grade. I haven’t tested it on submerged phones.
(Extra) Measurement of grade D on a normal phone
I introduced Mintit to a friend to try selling it, but the phone, which was in good condition as a B grade, was given a D grade. So, I asked them to remove the film from the phone, wipe it clean with a glasses cleaning cloth, and measure again.
After that, the D grade phone was measured as B grade. The problem was that the original ATM machine kept showing D, so I used a machine located somewhere else. Recently, it has been said that once you get a D, you keep getting Ds. This may vary depending on the time period, whether it is a program setting or not.
