Get Cash or Credit
- Most of our stores offer the option of choosing between cash or in-store credit for select items. Keep in mind that the credit value on your trade-in items is usually higher than cash value but in our stores where both options are offered, it’s your choice.
- Check here to find your nearest store and see what trade-in options they offer.
- We’re now accepting more items than ever, including iPhones, smartphones, consoles, video games, video game accessories, smartwatches, tablets, headphones, and more. Some of the items and brands with the highest value include Apple, Samsung, Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo, just to name a few.
- Simply bring your items to the nearest participating store and a Store Associate/Manager will evaluate them. Remember to erase all your personal information off your product before you bring it in. Be sure to bring in any chargers, cables, controllers, or other hardware that originally came with your product. Also, it’s helpful if you have your product fully charged so it can be tested more quickly.
- You can get a preview of the value of your item by visiting our cash or credit purchase page.
- That depends on the item. Consoles, iPhones, and certain tech devices like iPads, not to mention the hottest new games, fetch more than older items and games. But even most older things have some value. The condition of your item will also play a role in how much cash or credit it’s worth.
- The better the condition, the higher the value. Products that are fully operational and cosmetically unblemished will receive the maximum amount for that specific product.
- Some damaged items may still be accepted. Things like iPhones with cracked screens or water damage may be taken. Whether damaged items are eligible, and the value received for them, will be determined at the Manager’s discretion.
