Used, gently worn, like-new

Working devices get top dollar.

Where we pay best: phones that turn on, hold a charge, and have a clean screen. Minor scratches or a faded battery are fine — that's normal wear. We'll still look at devices with bigger issues, but the quote reflects the condition. No surprise deductions and no walk-away gimmicks.

Before you meet us

5-minute prep checklist

1

Back up your data

iCloud, Google One, or your computer — whatever works. Takes minutes.

2

Turn off Find My iPhone

Settings → [your name] → Find My → Find My iPhone → off. Required before we can pay.

3

Charge to at least 20%

We need to power-on test the device. 20% is plenty.

4

Bring your ID

Texas DL or US passport. Required by Austin's pawn / secondhand-goods ordinance.
