Great experience! The whole process was quick, easy, and convenient. They accepted my iPhone 13 Pro Max even though both the front and back screens were cracked. Everything went smoothly, and I’d definitely recommend them!

Broken iPhones Welcome
Yes, we buy broken iPhones for cash
Got a cracked or iCloud-locked iPhone 13 Pro Max or newer sitting in a drawer? It isn't doing anything for you, and you don't have to fix it or mail it off first.
We're a local Sacramento buyback. You tell us what's wrong by text, we text back an honest offer, and we meet up, often the same day. We'll call or text to set a time. No shipping box, no repair bill first and no store credit. Just cash in your hand.
Damaged or locked, we'll always tell you the number before we meet. Getting an offer costs nothing, and there's no obligation.
The offer we text is the cash we hand you, as long as the phone matches what you described. With damaged phones, being upfront matters even more. Tell us everything when you text, and the number won't change when we meet.
Text (916) 269-5021 for your offerWhat We Still Buy
Problems we still buy
Cracks and iCloud or passcode locks need an iPhone 13 Pro Max or newer. Battery issue? We still consider most iPhones. Carrier locks and phones you're still paying off are fine on any model we buy.
Cracked screens and cracked backs
A shattered screen, a spiderweb crack in the corner or broken back glass: most still get an offer as is. Tell us where the cracks are and whether the touchscreen still works, and send a photo if you can.
Battery issues
Battery issue? We still consider most iPhones. Just mention it when you text.
Carrier-locked or financed phones
Still tied to Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile or another carrier? We buy carrier-locked phones too, including ones you're still paying off, on any model we buy. Unlocked and paid-off phones get the strongest offers, so tell us the carrier and status when you text.
iCloud-locked iPhones (forgot your Apple ID or passcode)
It happens more than you'd think. You set up the phone years ago, the email is gone, and now it's stuck on Activation Lock or you can't remember the passcode. We still buy iCloud-locked iPhones, 13 Pro Max or newer. Just tell us it's locked when you text, so the offer you get is the cash you're paid.
Won't turn on, or water damage? Text us the model and what happened. Newer models can still get an offer; older ones usually can't.
Not sure what's wrong or what's locked? Text us a photo of the screen. We'll tell you what we see and give you a number.

Get Ready
Before you meet: a quick checklist
- Back up what you can.
- Sign out of your Apple ID / iCloud and turn off Find My, if you can. If you can't because you're locked out, that's okay on an iPhone 13 Pro Max or newer. Just tell us when you text.
- Charge it as much as it will take, so we can test it quickly.
- Take out your SIM card, if your phone has one.
- Be upfront about every crack and any locks. That's what keeps the offer the same at the meetup.
Broken iPhone Questions

Which broken iPhones do you buy?

We don't buy broken iPhones older than the 13 Pro Max; if yours is in good working shape, text us the model and we'll let you know. Cracked or Google-locked Galaxy or Pixel? Newer models can still get an offer.
Do you buy iPhones with a cracked screen or cracked back?
Yes, on the iPhone 13 Pro Max or newer. Tell us where the cracks are and whether the touchscreen works, and send a photo if you can. You'll know your offer before we meet.
Where can I sell a locked or financed iPhone?

Any other lock, like an iCloud or passcode lock, needs an iPhone 13 Pro Max or newer. Text us the model, which lock it has and whether it's paid off, and we'll text you an offer. We buy from sellers in Sacramento, Elk Grove, Roseville, Folsom, Citrus Heights, Rancho Cordova, West Sacramento and Davis.
I forgot my Apple ID or passcode. Can I still sell my iPhone?
Yes, if it's an iPhone 13 Pro Max or newer. It happens to a lot of people. We still buy iCloud-locked iPhones from people who forgot their Apple ID or passcode. Tell us it's locked when you text, so the offer you get is the cash you're paid.
Do you buy iPhones with a battery issue?
Often, yes. We still consider most iPhones with a battery issue. Just mention it when you text.
Is there anything you can't buy?
Yes. Most phones that won't turn on or have water damage, and phones we can't test in front of you. Newer models are the exception, so text us the model before you rule it out.
Will the offer change when we meet?
Not if the phone matches what you described. We test it in front of you, and the offer we text is the cash we hand you. That's why we ask you to tell us about every crack and any locks up front.
