Whether you’re upgrading to a newer model or just clearing out space, trading in your old tech is a smart move. But how do you make sure you’re getting the best deal? We’ve got you covered with everything you need to know about trading in your gadgets with The iOutlet.

What devices can you trade in?

At The iOutlet, you can trade in a wide range of devices, including:

Whether your device is in perfect condition or a little worse for wear, we offer competitive prices for gadgets in all conditions.

How does the trade-in process work?

Trading in your old tech with The iOutlet is quick, easy, and hassle-free. Here’s how it works:

  1. Get an instant quote: Head to our Sell My Gadget page, select your device, and answer a few quick questions about its condition. You’ll get an instant quote based on your device’s model and state of repair.
  2. Send your device for free: Once you’re happy with the quote, we’ll send you a free postage label. Just pack upyour device securely and drop it off at your nearest post office.
  3. Get paid fast: Once we’ve received your device, we’ll make sure it’s as expected and complete your payment within one working day.

  • Competitive prices: We offer some of the best trade-in values around, so you know you’re getting a fair deal.
  • Fast, hassle-free payments: No waiting around—once your device is inspected, you’ll get paid the same day.
  • Free postage: We cover the cost of sending in your device, so there’s no extra expense for you.
  • Eco-friendly: By trading in your old gadgets, you’re helping reduce electronic waste and giving your tech a second life.

A few tips to maximise your trade-in value

  • Back up and reset your device: Before sending us your device, back up your data and perform a factory reset. This protects your personal information and ensures the device is ready to be reconditioned.
  • Disable security features: Make sure “Find My iPhone” or any similar tracking features are turned off, and sign out of your Apple ID or Google account.
  • Trade in sooner rather than later: Tech loses value quickly as new models are launched. The sooner you trade in, the more money you’ll get!
