Best Places to Sell Your Broken Google Pixel Phones (Damaged or Faulty) (Oct 2023)

Year of Establishment: 2016

Gadget Gone accepts Google Pixels with multiple minor damage issues, including water damage, bent and dented housing, and a cracked display.

In Verizon, you cannot sell a water-damaged Google Pixel for cash. They will only accept your cell phone if it is in good working order, so you must have it repaired.

If the damage to your cell phone is to the screen, it is not worth having it repaired because you will receive very little money even if you trade it in right after.

Selling a damaged Google Pixel in AT&T is recommended if you want to upgrade to a new device as they offer a promotional card or monthly bill credits in exchange for your old phone.

The promotional card can be redeemed for accessories or bill payments online and at your local AT&T store.

Sprint accepts a Google Pixel with a cracked screen but not a cell phone that does not turn on or has liquid damage. They will also offer you store credits in exchange for your device.

T-Mobile only accepts old phones in good condition. The device should turn on, and there should be no screen or liquid damage.

Having your cell phone repaired to trade it in is not worthwhile. It is best to sell Google Pixel to stores that buy old devices in any condition and offer fast payment and the best price.

EcoATM – Kiosk
The value of your device in EcoATM is determined by its condition. Unlike other stores, they do not accept faulty phones just like that. They perform a visual evaluation before deciding on your damaged Google Pixel trade-in value.

Remember that some devices have no resale price, and they will only offer recycling services. This means you will be giving away your device to them for free. Having your device’s parts recycled, however, helps the environment.

Walmart (EcoATM in Walmart Stores)

EcoATM is also available in Walmart stores. You can use the store locator below to see where to sell your broken Google Pixel.

Walmart does not have a fully operational phone buyback program. So an EcoATM kiosk is your best alternative if you prefer to sell Google Pixel at Walmart stores.

Best Buy
Best Buy does not accept damaged Google Pixel phones at the moment. You first need to have it repaired before you can sell, which lowers the cash value you can earn after the entire trade-in process.

For instance, you have a damaged screen. Its average repair cost is $254. If you trade the repaired device into Best Buy, you will get up to $35, losing you more money. So it would not be the best option for you.

GameStop
GameStop does not accept Google Pixel phones, regardless of condition. They only buy Apple and Samsung phones and offer less than $10 for most faulty devices. So selling your old phone here would earn you very little value.
