BUYBACK STORES = BEST PRICE - Sell your iPhone for cash here: As you’ll see from the table below, selling your iPhone to a buyback company will get you the best price, hands down. You get paid cash for iPhones via Direct Deposit, PayPal, or Check, not store credit: PLUS, the buyback program takes care of the shipping cost.
Sell your iPhone to carriers: Most carrier buyback deals get you much less than prices on BankMyCell. Plus, your payment will be applied as account credit over 24 months, starting 30-90 days after the sale.
Sell your iPhone to Marketplaces: A site like eBay or Swappa will get you similar amounts to BankMyCell after they’ve deducted their marketplace fees (up to 10% of the value of the iPhone). Just be aware that you will have to spend about 30-60 minutes setting up a listing before selling & shipping.
Want low-ball store credit? If you're looking where to sell your iPhone for cash in person, make sure it's ONLY because you need money that day, AND you’re fully aware that most places only pay you with gift cards, NOT cash. Check out the table below to see how these local buyback services like Best Buy, Walmart, Target, Gamestop, etc., profit from you offering much less than your iPhone's actually worth.
Go ship instead of shop: So if you're looking to sell your old iPhone for cash near you, it means you’re leaving almost half your own money on the table. After all, going out to a shop takes the same amount of time as mailing an Apple iPhone to a trade-in program.
Double your money: The difference is, you can get almost double the used iPhone trade-in amount by waiting an extra day or two for a cash payout - even the shipping is free, sounds smarter right?
To make sure you’re getting the most accurate quote when you trade in your old iPhone, you’ll need to know the phone’s name, carrier, and storage capacity.

When you sell your old iPhone to a buyback service featured on BankMyCell, the quote they offered will be locked for 14-30 days. This depends on the individual resale stores timescales - luckily for you, we list them all in the comparison table.
If you ship your Apple iPhone to one of the buyback companies within that time, you’re guaranteed to get your offer amount paid in full. If you miss the 14-30 day price lock window, then the buyer may reduce the offer slightly to match the current trade-in price of your iPhone.
It’s no surprise that resale values of your iPhone will drop over time, especially around the launch of newer models - so it’s in your best interest to send it sooner rather than later to maximize your payout.
If you have any other used Apple products sitting in drawers doing nothing, you’ll be pleased to know you can trade in them too!
