Phones We Buy
iPhones are our most requested device and the strongest resale category in phones. All models from iPhone 11 through the current iPhone 16 series are worth selling. Pro and Pro Max models hold their value best. For detailed model-by-model guidance, see our dedicated iPhone buying page.
Samsung Galaxy flagships, including the S-series and Z-series, are the second strongest category. The Galaxy S24 Ultra, S24+, Z Fold, and Z Flip series all have active used markets. Mid-range Samsung devices have significantly lower resale value. Check the Samsung phones section on GSMArena to confirm your exact model and release year before contacting us.
Google Pixel devices, particularly the Pixel 8 Pro and Pixel 9 series, hold solid value with a dedicated buyer base that values pure Android and camera performance.
Other Android brands including OnePlus, Motorola, and Sony Xperia have smaller but real markets for recent flagship models. Contact us with your specific model and we’ll give you an honest answer about whether it’s worth the trip.
What Determines Your Phone’s Value
Battery health is the most important condition factor for any phone. Check it at Settings → Battery → Battery Health on iPhone, or Settings → Battery → Battery Health on Samsung/Android. Phones at 85% or above get the best offers. Below 80%, buyers factor in replacement cost and it comes off the offer.
Screen condition is evaluated carefully. Cracked, scratched, or non-responsive screens reduce value significantly, even hairline cracks matter. A phone with a perfect display commands full market value. Remove your screen protector before coming in so we can assess the actual glass.
Lock status can make or break the deal. Unlocked phones are worth the most since they work on any carrier worldwide. Carrier-locked phones have a reduced buyer pool. iCloud-locked iPhones still tied to your Apple ID with Find My active are worth very little because they can’t be activated without your credentials.
Model and generation set the ceiling. Recent flagships hold value best. iPhones and Samsung Galaxy S-series retain value significantly better than mid-range or budget phones.
How to Prepare Your Phone Before You Sell
Back up your data using iCloud (iPhone) or Google One/Samsung Cloud (Android) to save your photos, contacts, and app data before erasing anything.
Sign out of your account. For iPhone: Settings → [Your Name] → Sign Out. This removes Activation Lock and is the single most important step for iPhones. For Android: remove your Google and Samsung accounts before resetting.
Factory reset the phone. iPhone: Settings → General → Transfer or Reset → Erase All Content and Settings. Android/Samsung: Settings → General Management → Reset → Factory Data Reset. The phone should boot to the setup screen when you bring it in.
Remove your SIM card and take it with you. It stays yours.
Remove the case and screen protector. We need to see the actual device. Clean the screen with a microfiber cloth before arriving.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you buy Android phones other than Samsung?
Yes, selectively. We primarily buy iPhones, Samsung Galaxy flagships, and Google Pixel devices. Recent flagship models from OnePlus, Sony Xperia, and Motorola Edge series may have value. Contact us with the specific model before making the trip.
How do Samsung Galaxy phones compare to iPhones for resale?
iPhones generally hold resale value better than Samsung Galaxy phones over time, particularly for models older than two years. Both are significantly stronger than budget Android phones. For recent Samsung flagships like the S24 series, Z Fold, and Z Flip, the difference is less pronounced.
Can I sell a phone without the original box?
Yes. The box adds a small amount to the offer but is not required. The phone’s condition, battery health, and lock status matter far more than the packaging.
Do I need to bring ID?
Yes. A valid government-issued photo ID is required for all transactions. This is standard practice for all electronics buyers in Florida.
