Popular trade-in devices
You might find that iPhones often hold more value than other brands, which could be due to several factors.
iPhones retain good performance and processing power for a very long time, get at least six years of security and software updates, are very durable, and they integrate very well with other Apple devices people may have at home.
This can drive up their value compared to some other handset manufacturers, but the price you get for yours will still depend heavily on the condition of that particular device.
What affects my phone's value?
The condition of your phone will be the biggest factor in deciding how much money you get for it. Here's a quick explainer of our different categories:
'Excellent'
In good working order. Zero wear and tear on the device with no visible scratches, dents or scuffs.
'Good'
In good working order. Minimal wear and tear, with a few light scratches up-close but no dents or scuffs.
'Moderate'
In good working order. Visible scratches and minimal dents and scuffs.
'Faulty'
Not in good working order. Deep scratches, chips, dents and/or scuffs to the device. Still eligible for trade-in.
What if I choose the wrong condition?
Don't worry—try your best to choose the right condition. We only change your quote if your phone is significantly different from the condition you picked. When we get your phone, we'll test it carefully, and if it's in a different condition than you picked, we'll send you a new quote.
If you don't like the new quote, say no. We'll send your phone back to you for free within seven working days.
Is it safe to sell my phone?
Yes, your phone is safe to sell to us. Before you send it, do a factory reset to clear your data. When we get it, we'll wipe it again to make sure everything is completely gone.
What if I change my mind?
We know plans change. So if they do, there's no need to conatact us. Your quote will simply expire after 14 days. If you decicde to trade-in again you'll need to start a new order.

Don't throw your old phone away - let us tell you what it's worth.
How fast I get paid?
We will pay you quickly. Once you say yes to your final quote, we'll send your money within 24 hours. If you accept your quote by 12 p.m. on a Friday, we'll pay you the next working day.
When is the best time to sell my phone?
Usually, as soon as you stop needing it. Once you're sure you no longer have a use for it, you should look to trade it in soon as it will likely only depreciate in value.
You could even trade your phone in at the same time you get your new one - this way it will feel like you've got money off your new device.
