Used Phone Valuation Formula
Fair Price = Market Average – (Age × 4-6% per year) – (Battery Penalty) – (Screen/Repair Penalty) + (Accessories Bonus)
Example: A 2-year-old iPhone 11 (market average: 35,000 BDT) with 85% battery health (no penalty) and all original parts (no penalty) with accessories (+5%) = 35,000 – (2 × 5%) + (5%) = 35,000 – 3,500 + 1,750 = 33,250 BDT
