Trade-in
That drawer full of old phones is worth money.
Get an instant estimate below, mail it in free, and we'll pay you within two business days of it landing. Anything we can't resell gets recycled properly instead of ending up in a landfill.
Your estimate
in ReBoot store credit
Estimate only. We confirm the final offer after inspection — and if it comes in lower, you can decline and we'll ship it back free.
How it works
Four steps, about ten minutes of your time.
Get your estimate
Answer the questions above. No account, no email required to see a number.
We send a box
Free prepaid shipping label and a padded box, at your door in two days. Or drop it off at any carrier point.
We inspect it
Two technicians check function, battery health, and cosmetics. You get a photo report either way.
You get paid
Bank transfer or store credit within two business days of inspection. Decline the offer and it ships back free.
Grading, demystified
How we judge condition.
These are the same grades we sell under, so you can see exactly where your device would end up on the shop page.
Excellent
No visible marks at arm's length, battery health above 90%, everything functions perfectly. Sells as our top tier and pays the most.
Very good
A scuff or two on the frame, screen clean, battery above 85%. The sweet spot for most trade-ins — and most buyers.
Good
Visible scratches or a small dent, fully functional, battery above 80%. Still sells with the same 12-month warranty.
Damaged
Cracked glass, failing battery, water damage. We pay for the salvageable parts and responsibly recycle the rest — never a landfill.
Before you ship
The questions everyone asks.
What happens to my data?
Back it up and sign out of your accounts before shipping — that part is on you, and it's the one thing we can't undo for you. On arrival, every device is wiped to a certified data-sanitization standard before a technician does anything else, and you get a wipe certificate by email. If a device arrives still locked to an account, we can't process it and we'll ship it back.
What if your offer is lower than the estimate?
You'll get an email with photos of exactly what we found and the revised number. Accept it, or decline and we'll send the device back at our cost. No restocking fee, no pressure, no auto-accept after 48 hours like some trade-in programs do.
Do I need the original box and charger?
No, and it doesn't change your offer. Keep the charger — you'll probably want it. Send just the device.
Is shipping really free?
Both directions, always, including if you decline the offer. It's insured up to $1,500 in transit, and we cover the loss if a carrier loses it.
How fast do I get paid?
Store credit is instant once inspection completes. Bank transfer takes 1–2 business days after that. Most people who ship on a Monday are paid by Thursday.
Can I trade in something you don't sell?
Usually, yes — cameras, e-readers, older laptops, and most working electronics. Pick the closest category above for a rough number and we'll confirm at inspection. If we genuinely can't resell it, we'll still recycle it free rather than send it back.
One more thing
Trade in and buy at the same time?
Apply your credit at checkout the moment your device is inspected — most people put it straight toward the upgrade they were already eyeing.
