Get paid on the spot
Accept the offer and walk out with cash. The whole thing takes about 15 minutes. Don't like the offer? No hard feelings — you keep your phone.
What We Check
Every phone gets a quick hands-on inspection. Here's what we look at and why it matters for your quote.
Screen Condition
Cracks, scratches, dead pixels, burn-in, and touch responsiveness.
Battery Health
We check the battery cycle count and maximum capacity. A healthy battery means a higher offer.
Body & Frame
Dents, bends, missing buttons, damaged ports. Cosmetic wear is normal — we're looking for structural issues.
Water Damage
We check Apple and Samsung liquid indicators. Water damage significantly affects resale value and reliability.
Functionality Test
Cameras, speakers, microphone, Face ID / fingerprint, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and charging. Everything gets tested.
Carrier & Lock Status
The phone needs to be unlocked and fully paid off. If it's still on a financing plan, you'll need to settle that with your carrier first.
How We Price Your Phone
We don't use a fixed price list. Phone values change daily based on supply and demand, so we check current market prices at the time you walk in. Then we factor in the condition of your specific phone after our inspection.
This means your offer reflects what the phone is actually worth today — not a number we made up last month and forgot to update.
A Straight-Up Honest Note
Can you get more selling your phone yourself on Kijiji, Facebook Marketplace, or eBay? Probably, yes. Peer-to-peer sales cut out the middleman, and that extra margin goes to you.
But here's what comes with it: strangers showing up to your meeting spot who ghost you, lowball you, or try to pay with a fake e-transfer. Scammers who “test” the phone and swap it for a broken one. Buyers who dispute the transaction after they already have your phone. Hours of messaging, arranging, and waiting — sometimes for nothing.
We offer a trade-off: a fair price, paid in cash, in 15 minutes, with zero risk. No listings. No strangers. No wondering if the money is real. You walk in, we quote you, you decide. That's it.
If maximizing every dollar matters more than your time and safety, sell it yourself — we get it. But if you want it done and dusted today, we're here.
Brands We Buy
New-ish or a few years old — if it works, we're interested.
- iPhone (Apple)
- Samsung Galaxy
- Google Pixel
- Motorola
- OnePlus
Don't see your brand? Bring it in anyway — we can usually still make an offer.
Tips to Get a Better Offer
- +Bring the original box and accessories if you still have them. Charger, cable, earbuds — anything that came in the box adds value.
- +Remove your case and screen protector so we can see the actual condition of the screen and body.
- +Make sure it's charged — we need to test the phone, and a dead battery means we can't quote you until it powers up.
- +Sign out of your accounts (iCloud, Google, Samsung) and factory reset before you come in. We can help in-store if you're unsure how.
- +Make sure the phone is paid off and unlocked. Financed or carrier-locked phones can't be resold, so we can't buy them.

How do you decide the price?
+
We check current resale prices on the open market, then factor in the phone's condition after our inspection. You get a fair offer that reflects what the phone is genuinely worth — no guessing, no lowballing.
Do I get paid right away?
+
Yes. If you accept our offer, you walk out with cash the same visit. The whole process takes about 15 minutes.
Do I need to factory reset my phone first?
+
We recommend it, but we can help you do it in-store. We also have a step-by-step guide if you want to do it at home before you come in.
Can I sell a phone that's cracked or damaged?
+
Yes — we still buy damaged phones. The offer will be lower, but a phone with a cracked screen or worn battery is still worth something. Bring it in and we'll quote you.
What if my phone is still on a contract?
+
The phone needs to be paid off and unlocked. If you still owe money through a carrier financing plan, you'll need to settle that balance first. We can't buy phones that are still being financed.
