Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know

How is my estimate calculated?

The estimate uses the device model, storage, selected condition and current resale demand. The final amount is confirmed after inspection.

What if the condition is different during inspection?

We explain the difference and show you the revised amount before completing the sale. You can accept or decline it.

Do I pay any fees?

No. There is no fee to receive an estimate or request a local appointment. Eligible mail-in shipping is prepaid.

How does local pickup work?

Choose pickup in the estimator and submit your contact details. We confirm a convenient time and location in the Ottawa–Gatineau area.

How does mail-in work?

We provide a prepaid tracked label. Pack the device securely, send it through the designated carrier and receive payment after assessment.

Do you buy damaged devices?

Yes. Cracked screens, weak batteries and some functional issues can still have value. Select the closest condition in the estimator.

How is my personal data protected?

We recommend signing out of your accounts and completing a factory reset. Devices also go through secure data-erasure and diagnostic procedures before resale.

How quickly do I get paid?

For a local pickup in Ottawa or Gatineau, you are paid by Interac e-Transfer the same day, once the device passes inspection in front of you. For a mail-in, payment goes out the same business day we receive and inspect your package.

Why sell here instead of Facebook Marketplace or Kijiji?

Marketplace can work, but it means listings, haggling, no-shows and meeting strangers with an expensive device in your pocket. Here the offer is set before you commit, the inspection is documented, and you are dealing with a registered Ontario business you can look up.

Is this better than a carrier or Apple trade-in?

It depends on what you want. Carrier and manufacturer programs usually give credit toward a new purchase, not cash, and the amount is often fixed regardless of real market value. We pay cash by e-Transfer with no purchase required. If a carrier promotion is running, compare both offers before deciding.

Which devices do you buy?

iPhone and Samsung Galaxy phones, iPads and tablets, Apple Watch, MacBook and laptops, AirPods and headphones, plus PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo consoles. If your model is not in the estimator, use the “Device not listed” option and we will assess it manually.

Do I need the original box, charger or accessories?

No. The offer is based on the device itself. Including a charger or box does not lower your payout, and missing accessories do not disqualify a device.

Can you buy a device that is still locked to an account?

Not until it is unlocked. Activation Lock (Find My iPhone) or a Google account lock has to be removed before we can complete a purchase, because the device cannot be reset or resold otherwise. We can walk you through the steps if you are unsure.

What if my phone is carrier-locked, financed or blacklisted?

Carrier-locked phones are fine, though an unlocked device is usually worth more. We verify the IMEI before payment, and we cannot buy a device reported lost or stolen, or one still under an unpaid balance that has been blacklisted.

Am I committed once I get an estimate?

No. The estimate is free and non-binding. If the final offer after inspection does not suit you, you can decline and keep your device — for a mail-in we return it to you at no cost to you.

Do you buy several devices at once?

Yes. Repair shops, offices, schools and resellers with five or more devices can use the business form for a single consolidated assessment and payout, with IMEI or serial-number tracking on request.
