The potential trade-in value (and discount) will be listed beside each product name and model. The questions revolve around the condition and status of your trade-in item, including whether or not it’s cracked or damaged, whether it can hold a charge, and more depending on the type of device.

How long do I have to ship my device?
You have 45 days after the prepaid shipping label is provided to ship your device or devices. The best action is to drop off the shipment at a local UPS store and ask for a drop-off receipt to confirm its delivery. If you’re hoping for the highest return value, then resale platforms like eBay, Swappa, and Itsworthmore will serve you better. Just remember that while you can sell your electronics for more money that way, you’ll have to cover service and shipping fees, too.
