Any time our cell phone repair clients seem to be facing challenges, our LCD screen buyback program usually faces challenges as well.
The last several months has seen LCD screen prices drop more frequently than in the past – and this phenomenon is affecting most phone models.
Chinese New Years and changes in the Chinese Yuan have been contributing factors. Consumers are now using a vast variety of flagship models and advancements in LCD screen technology creates some additional supply and capital challenges for most cell phone repair shops.
While the industry overall seems very healthy and continues to grow, it’s important to look forward because only one thing is for certain in this industry: It’s always changing and does so very fast!
We’ve pulled together some data from within our system showing some of these trends over the last two years, firmly believing that looking at the past can give great insight on the future.

I’m so upset!! After purchasing a brand new iphone 5c on ebay and having it activated by ATT at their service center and using it perfectly fine for 5 months, it has now been blacklisted with a bad IMEI number. ATT reports to me that the phone has been reported stolen by the prior owner after 5 months! The phone had never been used! Checkmend supplies that the phone has no insurance claim or stolen report to police, only negative is that it states is that it has now been reported as stolen. I have been on the phone for hours and hours and can not seem to find any recourse. I can not even leave negative feedback for the seller, 4t2t, on ebay as it has been past 45 days!! My mind and wallet are completely blown. Please…any advise??
