Straight answers
Why sell to us
Four promises we put in writing on every quote.
We beat any written quote by $2
Find a better offer in writing and we'll beat it. We already track what 18 other buyers pay, every day, so we know.
Cash, not bill credit
Your carrier's "up to $1,000" is credit spread over 24 to 36 months, and only if you stay. We pay real money after we inspect.
Your data, properly gone
Wiped to the NIST 800-88 standard with a free Certificate of Data Erasure emailed to you. Not just a factory reset.
No silent re-grades
If inspection changes your quote you get photo evidence and 14 days to decide. Say no and we ship it back free.
For business
Retiring a fleet? You shouldn't be paying to throw it away.
Phones, tablets and laptops from 10 units up. Certified erasure with a certificate per device, free collection nationwide (or free pickup across Dallas-Fort Worth), and one payment per batch. No fees, ever.
Cash vs. carrier credit
Your carrier isn't paying you. They're crediting you.
"Up to $1,000" from T-Mobile, AT&T or Verizon means bill credits spread over 24 to 36 months, only if you buy a new phone and stay on their plan the whole time. Pay it off early or switch, and you lose the rest. We pay cash, today, no strings.

Good to know
Frequently asked questions
Short answers to what most sellers ask before they ship.
How much can I get for my phone?
It depends on the model, storage, carrier and condition. Pick your device above for an instant quote. We consistently beat carrier trade-in credits and kiosk offers because we pay real cash, not 24 to 36 month bill credits.
How fast do I get paid?
We pay quickly after we inspect your device, typically 1 to 2 business days after it arrives. Choose PayPal, debit card, Venmo, bank transfer, or a gift card with a bonus.
Is my data safe?
Yes. Every device is wiped to the NIST 800-88 standard and you get a free Certificate of Data Erasure by email. We also tell you exactly how to back up and sign out before you ship.
What if I don't like the final offer?
If our inspection changes your quote, we show you photo evidence and give you 14 days to accept or decline. Decline and we ship your device back free, with no pressure and no silent auto-accept.
Is trading in really better for the environment?
Yes. Reusing a phone avoids roughly 58kg of CO₂ versus manufacturing a new one, and anything we can't resell is recycled through R2/e-Stewards-certified partners.
