Sell Your Galaxy A05s
2023 · SM-A057F, SM-A057G, SM-A057M
We pay up to £31, paid the same day.
The figure we quote for your Galaxy A05s depends on the condition you choose, so cracked glass and a worn battery are part of that figure rather than faults that end the sale. The offer we confirm after inspecting the phone is held for 14 days, and the same figure applies to free collection, posting it in or bringing it to our Haverhill shop. Payment goes out the same day once your photo ID and proof of address have been confirmed.

Once we send your offer it will not drop, so you have time to decide.
We repair, so faulty still pays
Cracked screen or worn battery is a job on our bench, not a write-off.
Not the Galaxy A05s storage or condition you were looking for?
We buy a lot more than we list here. Older iPhones, Samsung and Pixel handsets, iPads, Apple Watches, MacBooks and games consoles all get a real offer, and a cracked or faulty device is still worth something to us because we repair them in house. Tell us what you have and we will come back with a firm price.
No obligation, and nothing to pay. We will not give you a number we cannot honour, so if we need to see it first we will say so.
Three steps
How selling your Galaxy A05s works
No haggling, no waiting on a callback, and no offer that quietly drops when you arrive.
Get your price
Pick your Galaxy A05s storage and condition above and the price we pay appears straight away, no waiting for a callback.
Get it to us, three ways
Walk into the shop, book a free collection from your door within 5 miles, or post it free from anywhere in mainland UK.
Paid the same day
Accept the offer and you are paid there and then, by bank transfer, or store credit towards an upgrade or downgrade.
Your price
What your Galaxy A05s is worth depends on
Storage
Bigger storage means a better price. Tell the finder above which Galaxy A05s you have and it prices that exact variant.
We buy the 64GB and 128GB storage versions of the Galaxy A05s. Check the phone's storage settings to confirm which one you own and select that variant when requesting a quote, so the offer is matched to the right handset.
Screen condition
A cracked screen does not drop you to a faulty price. You keep the condition the phone is otherwise in and we simply take off what the glass costs us to replace, because we replace them ourselves.
Body and connector
Dents, scuffs and cracks to the casing are graded as part of the overall condition. A cracked back or a bent frame lowers the offer but rarely rules a device out.
The offer on a Galaxy A05s is confirmed once the phone has been inspected, and that confirmed offer is then held for 14 days. Use that window to send the phone in or book a collection, knowing the amount will not move.
The Galaxy A05s can be collected free of charge, posted in, or handed to us at the Haverhill shop counter. The amount quoted does not depend on which of the three you pick, so use the free collection if it is easiest for you.
Battery health
We check battery condition ourselves on the bench rather than asking you to self-report a figure online, since there is no single on-device reading we can rely on for every brand. A genuinely worn cell comes off at what a real replacement costs us, worked out once we have the Galaxy A05s in front of us.
You do not have to replace a cracked screen or fit a new battery before selling a Galaxy A05s. Damage like that is part of the condition scale, so be honest and choose the option that matches the phone; the quote you receive already allows for the faults.
Charge the Galaxy A05s and make sure it powers on before we collect it. A worn battery is a condition matter rather than a deal-breaker, while a phone that will not switch on needs to be described accurately so the quote is right.
Whether it powers on
A device that boots and passes our checks is worth more than one that does not, but a dead handset is still worth telling us about rather than binning.
iCloud or Google account lock
We can only buy your Galaxy A05s once it is signed out of your Google account, which is what clears Factory Reset Protection.
Remove any Google account from the Galaxy A05s and switch off its screen lock before the phone is sent. A handset that arrives still tied to you cannot move through to the next owner until that pairing is undone, so doing it in advance keeps the sale straightforward.
Original parts matter to the price: an aftermarket screen, battery or camera fitted by someone else changes what we can pay. If you are not sure what is in your Galaxy A05s, our guide on how to check a refurbished phone walks through what to look for.
Five minutes
Before you sell: five minutes that protect you
Do these before you hand the device over and the sale goes through without a hitch.
-
1.Back up what you want to keep
Photos, contacts and anything else you would not want to lose. If an upgrade is replacing it, here is our guide to moving everything to your new phone.
-
2.Sign out of iCloud or your Google account
Turn off Find My before you hand over the Galaxy A05s. A device still signed in cannot be bought from you.
-
3.Take out the SIM and any memory card
These are yours to keep and are not part of the sale.
-
4.Note down the IMEI
Dial *#06# or check Settings to find it, in case you want a record for your own files.

No surprises
Ownership, ID and your data
Three things worth knowing before you sell anything to anyone, not just to us.
The device has to be yours to sell
We cannot buy a device that is still under contract or on finance, because until it is paid off you are not yet its legal owner. We also cannot buy a device that is part of an ongoing insurance claim, or that has been reported lost or stolen.
"This device is not under contract or finance, is not part of an insurance claim, and has not been reported lost or stolen - I own it outright."
We record name, address and ID on every purchase
We record the name and address of everyone we buy from, and check them against photo ID and proof of address. HMRC requires it: buying from a private seller, we have to raise the purchase invoice ourselves and it must carry your details. Bring the documents into the shop and show us, or send a photo if the device is reaching us another way.
It protects you as much as us: the purchase can always be traced back to a genuine sale rather than an anonymous one. A photocard driving licence showing your current address covers both documents on its own.
GOV.UK: VAT margin schemes, section 6.2Your data is wiped at our shop
Once your device is checked in, it is fully wiped and factory reset at our shop before it goes anywhere else. Nothing of yours is left behind on it.
Locked in
Your price is held for 14 days
Once we send you an offer for your Galaxy A05s, it is held for 14 days. That gives you time to compare us against the online recyclers before deciding, without the price moving under you.

Selling your Galaxy A05s
After mendmyi has inspected my Galaxy A05s, how long is the confirmed quote held open for?
Fourteen days, starting from the point we confirm the offer following inspection. During that time the quoted figure for your Galaxy A05s stays the same, whether you post the phone, use collection or drop it off at our Haverhill shop.
Will the price I'm quoted for my Galaxy A05s be haggled down when the phone gets to you?
No, the amount quoted for your Galaxy A05s is the amount that is paid, not a starting point for negotiation. If the phone arrives in the condition you described, the figure stays as it was shown.
Can I sell my Galaxy A05s as it is with a cracked screen and a worn battery, or do I need to fix it first?
Yes, you can sell it to us without fixing it first. Cracked glass and a worn battery are both condition points, so choose the option that reflects both and the quote will already allow for them.
Before I send the Galaxy A05s, do I need to remove my Google account and screen lock from it?
Yes, both need to be removed before the phone is sent. Sign out of the Google account and turn off the screen lock, because an A05s that is still tied to you cannot be prepared for the next stage of the sale until they are cleared.
Does using the free collection option for my Galaxy A05s change the amount I receive?
No, the amount is identical whichever route you use. Free collection, posting the phone in and handing it over at the Haverhill shop counter all lead to the same figure.
What do I need to show you before payment for my Galaxy A05s is released, and when is the money sent?
Photo ID and proof of address are required on every purchase, with no exceptions. Once both are confirmed, payment goes out the same day, whether the phone was collected, posted in or dropped at our Haverhill counter.
