Electronics Buyback FAQ
What electronics do you buy in Chicago?
We buy phones (iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel), laptops and computers (MacBook, Dell, HP, Lenovo, ASUS, iMac), tablets (iPad, Galaxy Tab, Surface), gaming consoles (PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch), smartwatches (Apple Watch, Galaxy Watch), AirPods, and sealed brand-new electronics.
How is my device’s value calculated?
Your offer is based on the model, age, storage capacity, condition, carrier status, and whether the box and accessories are included. We check current secondary-market values so the quote reflects what your device is actually worth today.
Do you buy damaged or broken electronics?
Yes. We buy devices that are cracked, water-damaged, or not powering on. The offer is lower than for a fully working device, but damaged electronics still have real value for parts and refurbishment.
Do you buy locked or financed phones?
We buy carrier-locked phones (typically at 70-80% of unlocked value) as long as they are fully paid off. We cannot buy phones still on a carrier installment plan, or phones locked to an iCloud / Google account that has not been signed out.
Do you buy sealed or brand-new electronics?
Yes. We buy unopened, factory-sealed devices, including unwanted gifts. Keep the shrink-wrap intact for the best offer. See our sealed electronics buyback page for details.
What should I bring to the store?
Bring the device, a valid government-issued photo ID, and the charger and box if you still have them. For an accurate offer, sign out of your accounts and factory reset the device beforehand (we can help in-store).
Do I need identification or an appointment?
A valid photo ID is required to sell any device. No appointment is needed, walk in any time during business hours and most transactions take about 15 minutes.
Can I sell more than one device at a time?
Yes. We welcome multiple devices and can bundle the values together into a single cash offer. Bring in your phone, laptop, tablet, and console together if you like.
