Our buyback process is simple: bring your device to one of our store locations or use our mail-in service. We'll evaluate your device based on its model, condition, and market demand, then make you an offer. If you accept, you'll receive payment immediately in-store or within 24 hours for mail-in transactions.
We buy a wide range of electronics, including smartphones, tablets, laptops, desktop computers, gaming consoles, smartwatches, cameras, and more. Visit our What We Buy page for a complete list of accepted items.
We evaluate devices based on several factors: model, age, storage capacity, condition (cosmetic appearance and functionality), market demand, and current resale value. Devices in better condition with higher specifications typically receive higher offers.
No, we'll buy your device without the original box or accessories. However, including them may slightly increase the value of your offer. We primarily value the device itself.
We buy devices in all conditions, including those with damage. Cracked screens, dents, or other cosmetic issues will affect the price, but as long as the device powers on and is identifiable, we'll make you an offer. Even devices with significant damage have value for parts or recycling.
Before selling your device, we recommend:
1. Backing up any important data
2. Performing a factory reset to remove personal information
3. Disabling any activation locks (like iCloud for Apple devices)
4. Removing SIM cards and memory cards
5. Charging the device to at least 50% battery
If you receive a higher offer from another buyback service for the same device in the same condition, we'll match that price and add an extra 5%. Simply show us the competitor's written offer (dated within the last 7 days) during your in-store visit or email it to us for mail-in transactions.
Data security is our top priority. While we recommend performing a factory reset before selling your device, we also perform a professional data wipe on all devices we purchase using certified data erasure software that meets Department of Defense standards. This ensures all personal information is completely removed.
For in-store transactions, we offer cash payments. For mail-in transactions, you can choose from several payment methods: direct deposit, PayPal, Venmo, or check by mail. Most electronic payments are processed within 24 hours of offer acceptance.
Devices in good condition are refurbished and resold, extending their useful life. Devices that cannot be refurbished are responsibly recycled through our certified e-waste recycling partners, ensuring that valuable materials are recovered and harmful substances are properly handled.
