Would Micro-abrasions affect resale value of phones?

Thanks all!

I'm in Aus, so there's no apple upgrade program! 😭
So I would usually sell my phone off. I would be putting the jet black in a case, but I've read that some people also get abrasions when it's in the case...

I think its safe to say that the jet black finish is going to get abrasions on it over the course of a year or two in just about any situation. As far as cases go, some of the worst damage/scratches that have happened to my phones have been caused by cases. They trap dirt and dust between the case and your phone and over time its like sandpaper.

Yea, those would be the worst and you wouldnt know it's there.
