Tips to Prepare Your Items for Trade-In


Getting your item ready can boost its trade-in value. Here are some practical tips:


  • Clean Thoroughly

Remove dust, dirt, and smudges. A clean item looks cared for and can increase its appeal.


  • Reset to Factory Settings

For electronics, erase personal data and restore factory settings. This protects your privacy and ensures the item is ready for the next user.


  • Include Accessories

Original chargers, cables, cases, or manuals add value. Gather all related items before sending.

Minor scratches or dents can affect value. If possible, fix small issues or be honest about the condition when submitting your quote.

Once your item is with us, here’s what happens next:

If the condition differs, we may adjust the offer. You’ll have the option to accept the new price or have the item returned.


  • Payment Processing

After acceptance, payment is processed promptly. You’ll receive confirmation and details about your payment method.


  • Customer Support

Our support team is available to answer questions or help with any issues during the process.
