How can I sell my old Apple device?

RefurbMe does not buy or take in devices. It is a comparison site for refurbished Apple products, not a buyer. To sell your old iPhone, iPad, or Mac, use a trade-in or buyback program instead. Apple Trade In is available in most countries and accepts most iPhones, iPads, and Macs. Third-party services such as SellYourMac and Swappa let you sell for cash. Compare a few quotes before you commit, since offers vary by device and condition.

Where can I get a quote?

Apple Trade In gives you Apple credit or a gift card toward a new purchase. SellYourMac and Swappa pay cash, which is often more if you are not buying from Apple next. It is worth checking two or three so you can see the spread for your exact model and condition. Our guide to the best places to sell your iPhone, iPad, or Mac compares the main buyback options in detail.

We have negotiated a deal with SellYourMac. If you use this link to sell your old device, you get an extra $10 on your quote.

How do I prepare my device for sale?

  1. Back up your data to iCloud or a computer.
  2. Sign out of iCloud and turn off Find My.
  3. Erase all content and settings.
  4. Remove your SIM card if the device has one.

If you would rather put the value straight toward your next device, some refurbishers let you trade in when buying refurbished.
