Sell broken screens to FIXNOW: LCD buyback in Europe
We buy broken screens with a working display at refurbisher prices, from repairers, refurbishers, businesses and private sellers with a batch of screens.
FIXNOW repairs screens glass-only: we replace only the glass and keep the original panel. That is why we buy broken screens with a working panel directly from professional and private sellers, with no middleman. You register your batch online, we test and grade each screen, and settle payment by bank transfer.
Request a free shipping label for your larger batch
Private and professional sellers in all EU countries can request a free shipping label. From 11 displays, or when the indicative value calculated by FIXNOW is above €400, meeting either condition is enough. FIXNOW reviews every request, the batch and the shipping route. Once approved, we send the free label by email. If no direct route is available or the rate exceeds €25, we also review the shipment manually. The free label applies only to batches with a declared grade A or B; once approved, you usually receive it within the hour.

What we buy
We turn the screens themselves into refurbished parts. That is why we pay refurbisher prices instead of middleman prices. We currently buy iPhone, iPad and Samsung Galaxy screens whose display and touch still work fully, even with cracked glass. That gives broken screens a second life in our own repairs.
Purchase conditions
- Display and touch must work fully: that is the basic condition for purchase.
- Cracked glass is not a problem, that is exactly what we replace.
- Lines, spots or burn-in on the screen? Then we will not buy the screen.
- No display, water damage or a copy screen (non-original)? That screen is rejected too.
- Each screen is tested individually; a mixed batch is not a problem.
Grading after testing: A, B, C or rejected
Each screen is tested individually: first the breakage, then the image on a white background, then touch and frame. This is how we determine the grade for each screen, and therefore the price. Screens with the top flex cable (proximity sensor) intact are paid extra. Not sure about the condition? Choose ‘mixed/uncertain’ in the form; we grade after receipt. Note: the free shipping label applies only to batches with a declared grade A or B; batches marked ‘mixed/uncertain’ are shipped at your own cost or dropped off.
Read the full grading guide: how we testWhere to sell broken screens? Buyers compared (2026)
Grade A: perfect display
Original screen whose display and touch work fully.
- No black spots, no burn-in, no discoloration
- Touch responds correctly everywhere
- Cracked glass is not a problem, that is exactly what we replace
- Full price from the table
Grade B: heavy shattering or light burn-in
Original screen that works fully, but with very heavy shattering or light burn-in.
- Very heavily shattered glass: separating it is riskier for the polariser
- Light burn-in or shadow
- Touch defect on models with a separate touch layer; we replace that layer ourselves
Grade C: visible defects
The display is still fully readable, but the defects are noticeable. We do not process these screens ourselves; they get a second life through specialized refurbishing partners; that is why the compensation is symbolic.
- Clear shadow or pressure marks, yellowing or clear burn-in
- Touch defect on in-cell models (iPhone 12 Pro Max, 12 mini, 13 series and newer)
- We only buy Apple Watch screens in grade A or B
Rejected: no purchase
We do not buy screens without a usable panel. You choose: return at your cost, or free recycling.
- No display, or lines through the display
- Heavy burn-in or large spots
- Water damage
- Copy screens (non-original aftermarket)

Go to sell your iPhoneFrequently asked questions
Which screens and brands do you buy?
We currently buy broken iPhone, iPad and Samsung Galaxy screens whose display and touch still work fully. Check the price list on this page for the current offer per model.
What happens if a screen is rejected?
We return a rejected screen (lines, spots, burn-in, no display, water damage or a copy screen) at your cost, or arrange free recycling. You choose which option you would like. Every rejected screen is photographed, so you can be sure it is your own display. Tip: mark the back of each screen with a marker pen beforehand.
How does payment work?
We usually test your batch on the day it arrives. You then receive the settlement statement; after your approval, payment goes out immediately by bank transfer. We do not ask for an IBAN in the registration form; that follows at settlement.
What document do I receive after the sale?
You receive a settlement statement with the grading result per screen. If you are VAT-registered, you issue your invoice based on that; if you fall under the small business exemption scheme, you invoice without VAT with the required legal notice. If you sell as a private individual, we provide a purchase receipt (aankoopborderel) that we both sign.
Does FIXNOW come and collect the screens?
For larger batches, we can collect the screens from you. To mail in your batch, request the free label through the form. FIXNOW reviews the batch and shipping details and sends the label by email only after approval. Drop-off in Antwerp or Wolvertem is also possible.
How do I pack the screens safely for shipping?
Pack each screen separately, for example in bubble wrap, so the screens do not touch each other during transport. Stick a label with your reference on each screen. That way, in case of a dispute, we can easily trace each screen back to your batch.
Can I send photos of my batch in advance?
Yes, please do. After registration, send an overview photo and close-ups of doubtful cases via WhatsApp or as a reply to the confirmation email, mentioning your name or company. Photos make our advance estimate more realistic; the final grade always follows from the physical test.
Do you buy copy or aftermarket screens?
No, we only buy original screens. Copy screens are rejected during testing.
Do you buy broken screens from other EU countries?
Yes, professional repair shops, refurbishers and businesses as well as private sellers from all EU countries can register a batch. If an eligible batch meets either current label condition, you can request a free shipping label. FIXNOW reviews every request and sends the label only after approval.
