How it works

Every 'instant quote' site guesses high and pays low. Here's what actually sets your phone's value, in the order we weigh it at the counter — so when we meet, the offer won't be a mystery.

Good to know

Model & age — the newest flagship is worth the most; each generation back steps down
Storage — bigger storage holds value better; the base model of any phone is the softest price
Condition — screen first, then frame and back glass, then battery health. Cracked is the single biggest deduction
Carrier & unlock status — a phone that works on any carrier is worth more than one tied to a single carrier
Activation & IMEI status — a clean, verified IMEI and a phone signed out of its accounts is worth full value; anything murky gets checked with you before an offer

No sight-unseen pricesAnyone who quotes a firm price online without testing the device is guessing. Our offer is real because we've held the phone.

Tested in front of youWe check the device and verify its IMEI with you at the counter — then make the offer. Nothing happens behind a curtain.

Cash, same visitIf you take the offer, you leave with cash on that visit. No waiting on a check, no gift cards.

Photo ID requiredLouisiana secondhand-dealer law: valid photo ID on every sale, and the item has to be yours to sell.

Questions

Plain answers, the same ones we give at the counter.

Why won't you just give me a number online?

Because the number would be a guess dressed up as a quote. Storage, battery health, screen condition, and IMEI status all move it, and none of those can be checked through a webpage. The counter check takes minutes and the number is real.

What hurts value the most?

A cracked screen on a flagship — it's the costliest part on the phone. After that: small storage, a battery under 80% health, and carrier locks.

Is my old phone worth anything at all?

Often more than you'd think — even a few-generations-old iPhone or Galaxy has parts and resale value. And a phone that's truly worth nothing? We'll tell you that too, for free.

Does the time of year matter?

A little: values step down when a new model launches, usually in the fall for iPhones. If you're selling a current flagship, selling before the new one drops is the one timing trick that's real.
