Question 1

What devices do you buy?

Accepted Answer

iPhones and Samsung Galaxy phones are our specialty, but we also buy iPads, MacBooks, Apple Watches, and other Apple devices. We do not buy non-Apple tablets or laptops.

Question 2

Do you buy broken iPhones?

Accepted Answer

Yes — cracked screens, water damage, won't turn on, bad batteries, and carrier-locked iPhones. We specialize in iPhone 11 and newer, but we still make offers on older models.

Question 3

Do I need to remove iCloud / Find My iPhone before selling?

Accepted Answer

Yes. For security and ownership verification, Find My iPhone and iCloud should be removed before completing the sale whenever possible. Devices with active iCloud lock may receive reduced offers or may not be eligible for purchase.

Question 4

What if my iPhone no longer turns on?

Accepted Answer

If your device no longer powers on, contact us with the details first. Some non-working devices may still be accepted depending on the situation.

Question 5

Do you really pay cash same-day?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We provide a quote over text or phone, set up a convenient meetup at a local Starbucks in Modesto, test the device together, and you walk away with cash. We also offer Zelle, Cash App, and Apple Pay if you prefer.

Question 6

Will you buy a locked or financed Samsung?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We buy carrier-locked and financed Galaxy phones, especially S20+, Z Fold & Flip, and Note 20 Ultra. The offer reflects the lock status — but it's still real money.

Question 7

How much is my iPhone worth?

Accepted Answer

It depends on model, storage, carrier, and condition. Newer iPhones and Samsung Galaxy devices receive competitive same-day cash offers. The fastest way to find out is our 30-second quote form, a call, or a quick text with a photo.

Question 8

Do I need an appointment?

Accepted Answer

No formal appointment needed. Text or call for a quote, then we'll schedule a meetup at a safe public place in Modesto — usually a Starbucks — at a time that works for you. Flexible scheduling available.

Question 9

What areas do you serve?

Accepted Answer

We're based in Modesto and serve the entire Central Valley — Ceres, Turlock, Riverbank, Salida, Patterson, Manteca, and surrounding areas.

Question 10

Is my data safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We factory-reset every device in front of you before completing the sale. For locked or broken phones, the data stays inaccessible.

Question 11

Do you buy in bulk?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. If you have 5+ phones from an upgrade cycle, business closure, or estate, we pay competitive bulk pricing. Recent flagships (iPhone 12+, Galaxy S22+) receive the strongest offers. Call us first.

Question 12

Will you match a competitor's offer?

Accepted Answer

We focus on fair, transparent local cash offers with same-day payout and no shipping hassle. If you have a written offer, send it over — we'll review it and give you an honest comparison.

Question 13

What ID do I need to sell?

Accepted Answer

Just a valid government-issued photo ID (driver's license, state ID, or passport). California law requires it for all phone purchases.

Question 14

Do you buy older phones like iPhone 8 or Galaxy S10?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes — we evaluate older models on a case-by-case basis. iPhone 11+ and Galaxy S20+ receive the strongest offers, but it never hurts to ask.

Everything you need to know before you sell.
