Sell Your iPhone

Don’t discard your outdated iPhone or leave it sitting in a drawer - sell it to Mobile Monster for a great rate with an environmentally-friendly purpose. At Mobile Monster, we’ll assess your phone’s quality for free, make you an offer and give it a new life. We believe that it’s important to keep toxic materials and useful parts out of landfill, so we prioritise a circular economy that makes the most of your old phones.

Trade in & sell your iPhone

How long does an iPhone last? 18 months? A couple of years? Whether it’s broken, outdated or you’re just at the cutting edge, we all replace our phones regularly. Rather than throwing them into landfill or letting them collect dust, why not give your old iPhone a new purpose? Selling iPhones is easy with Mobile Monster. We’ll assess your phone for its usable value, make you an offer and use its parts to refurbish other phones. While you sell your iPhone, we keep other phones in circulation and toxic parts out of landfill. Win-win, right?

How much trade in value do you get if you get an iPhone?

When you trade in your iPhone, we’ll give you a fair and professional appraisal of its value. To do so, we ask you to rate its condition according to one of the following categories:

  • As New: Free from even the smallest blemishes, phones that are in ‘as new’ condition might not actually be brand new, but they could fool most people.

  • Working: If you were to buy a second hand phone, this is the condition you’d likely receive. Good, working order with a few slight scratches or dings here and there but otherwise totally fine.

  • Dead: Maybe you dropped it in the sink or its display is always blank. Whatever the diagnosis, this category of phone is a brick.

We hear it all the time: I want to sell my iPhone, but I don’t know what it’s worth. Well, our process works like this: you make your assessment as above, then send the phone to us, free of charge. We’ll confirm its condition, make you an offer based on one of the categories above, with better prices offered for better condition. Our offers are always 5% above our competitors and, if you don’t like what you hear, we’ll send it back for free.

Do you have a location I can go to sell my iPhone in person?

Yes! While we offer a free service to send your device by mail, we’re also happy to receive your phone in-person. We’re located centrally in the Melbourne CBD, so if you’d like to arrange a personal drop off, please get in touch. For all other locations, we’re pleased to offer a free Australia Post satchel for mailed submissions.

What happens if my iPhone is broken?

If your iPhone is broken, don’t throw it out. Phones contain elements which are toxic to the environment and at Mobile Monster, we’re proudly committed to sustainability. Rather than disposing of your dead iPhone, we can still extract value from it by salvaging parts to restore and refurbish other phones. If you’ve got an iPhone that’s no longer usable, send it to Mobile Monster and get a fair price while doing right by the environment.

Sell Your Ipad

Many people are surprised to find out that there are electronic recycling companies that buy your used devices. Mobile Monster specialises in the buying and recycling of unwanted electronic devices. Aside from phones, we also buy devices such as tablets. 

If you have an iPad that is old, broken, or not being used as frequently as before, we’d love to hear from you. By trading in your old iPad, you’ll be contributing to e-waste reduction and breathing new life into your old device, all while getting cash for it! Our iPad trade-in process couldn’t be simpler.

Selling your old iPad For Cash at Mobile Monster

An iPad that once brought joy into your home are now sitting in an attic or garage collecting cobwebs. The kids have grown up, and you’re unsure what to do with your gadgets, which only bring nostalgia now. That’s where Mobile Monster comes in.

And with our super fast processing times and easy mail or delivery options, trading in an iPad has never been easier. We will send you a bag to mail your device, or alternatively, you can drop it off locally in the Melbourne CBD.

What iPad models can I sell?

Currently, we accept iPad, iPad Mini, iPad Pro, and iPad Air models. This includes both cellular and Wi-Fi-only models. As there are many different iPad models out, we can accept the iPad 5 series and newer. Any model earlier than this will have to be evaluated on an individual basis.

You may be wondering if you will be able to sell an iPad with a cracked screen or one that is completely broken or dead. The answer is: absolutely! While the prices vary depending on a wide range of factors, we do still accept broken or damaged items.

When is a good time to trade in an iPad?

You can trade your iPad in whenever you’re ready.  Instead of worrying about when’s a good time, just know there is no time of year that is technically better for trading your devices. Whichever time suits you best, we will be waiting. 

It’s safe to say it is always a good time to trade with Mobile Monster because we have the best prices, the fastest process, and the fairest service, which includes the risk-free option of having your device sent back if you change your mind.

Sell Your Apple Watch

Looking to upgrade your Apple Watch? Or maybe you already did, and your old one is just sitting there, gathering dust. Whatever the reason, Mobile Monster offers a simple and environmentally-focused way to sell your Apple Watch. Whether it’s in as-new condition or it’s completely dead, we’ll refurbish, repair or recycle your Apple Watch, keeping it out of landfill and offering you a great price while we’re at it.

Trade in & sell your Apple Watch

Apple is a company known for its constant innovation, and the Apple Watch is a great example. With its sleek, wrist-mounted form and the powerful functionality of the iPhone, the Apple Watch has found a perfect niche in on-the-go lives everywhere. 

Whether you’re upgrading or offloading, Mobile Monster offers an easy way to get the best value for your Apple Watch. First, we’ll assess its condition and whether we can resell it as is, refurbish or reuse its parts. Then, we’ll make you a fair offer for your Apple Watch trade-in, keeping electronics out of the rubbish and giving you the most value for your device.

What Apple Watch models can I trade in?

Since the very first model was released in 2015, there’s been more than ten variations on the Apple Watch. While we no longer deal with the earliest versions, we’re happy to offer Apple Watch trade-ins for Series 5, 6, 7, 8 & Ultra, as well as certain other models (please get in contact to enquire specifically).

How much trade in value do you get for an Apple Watch?

Beyond just trading for a wide range of Apple Watch models, we also pride ourselves on offering a very fair, above-market rate. Before we make you a final offer, we’ll need to assess the quality and condition of your device, placing it into one of three categories:

  • As New: Nearly indistinguishable from an Apple Watch straight from the store, devices in this category are blemish-free and in perfect working order.

  • Working: It’s a secondhand device, but it’s completely fine. Although there might be small signs of wear, these devices look and work as they should.

  • Dead: Whether through physical damage or something else entirely, these Apple Watches won’t turn on and are of no use in their current state.

Once we’ve appraised your device, we’ll make a generous offer in line with its value. If you find a better offer, we’ll beat it by 5%. For more details on how we determine value, check out our page on how it works.

What happens if my Apple Watch is broken?

It’s a question we hear all the time: ‘What if I want to sell my Apple Watch, but it’s broken?’ Part of our philosophy at Mobile Monster is to prevent unnecessary electronic waste, which can be harmful to the environment when disposed of in landfill. Because we value sustainability, we’ll still buy Apple Watches that no longer work, using what we can to repair and restore others.

Part of the process will ask for your device’s IMEI number. If you don’t know where to find it, you may head over to this page for instructions.

Removing Your Personal Data

Make sure that before you send us your devices, you get to make sure that you have done your initial checks and ensured that you have removed your personal data, have logged out and
removed your iPhone, Google, or Samsung account from the device.

What’s the difference between the conditions?

As New – These are phones that are in perfect condition. No scratches, no damage, no blemishes. It’s as if they have never been used.

Working – This refers to phones that have some visible signs of use. It could be some scratches on the screen or minor wear & tear to the body of the device.

What happens if you find faults with the phone?

Dead – As the name suggests, when the phone is beyond usable, it’s classified as dead. This includes the device being water damaged.

We inspect and review every phone received. If we find that the phone is not as described, we will contact you and offer a reduced price. You can see under the ‘working’ condition exactly what the prices will be with varying amounts of damage to the phone.

Do the valuations change?

The prices we offer do change, but usually they go down. The reason for this is because technology loses its value over time. We do however pride ourselves on offering more for your phone than anyone else in the market.
