Everything you can trade in at Back Market

Whether you’re a frequent Back Market buyer or a complete newbie to the world of refurbishment, you might be a little intimidated by the idea of trading in your devices. 

We’re gung-ho about it for two big reasons. One, it helps the planet – by giving chucked away devices a second life – and two,  it’s a financially savvy way to declutter your home, all while getting a fair return on your old gadgets. 

We always talk about the fact that you can swap your phones and laptops. But did you know that there’s lots more tech you can swap for cash?

We mean lots. Games consoles, earphones, tablets, you name it. Plus, we’re not in the business of giving you less than you deserve. For each device we’ll offer you actual money to spend on more tech, a great takeaway or you can save it for a rainy day. So get trading. Here’s a global breakdown of what you can send for the best deal.

What you can trade in

Items you can trade in on Back Market can be broken into four main categories:

• Smartphones and Tablets

• Laptops and Computers

• Gaming Consoles & Accessories

• Headphones & Earbuds

We’ve listed some conditions guidelines of each type of device so you know if yours is suitable. These guidelines are the same no matter which territory you’re in.

Now let’s check out what you can trade in where you’re located.

Smartphones and Tablets

Back Market accepts phones with minor damage, provided they are fully functional. Even older models have value, especially if they are unlocked or in good condition.

Smartphones

Popular trade-in items in this category include Apple iPhone 11, Apple iPhone 12, Apple iPhone XR, Samsung Galaxy S21 5G and Samsung Galaxy S21 5G Ultra.

Tablets

Popular trade-in items in this category include Apple iPad 10.2” (2021), Apple iPad 10.2” (2019), and Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite Wifi.

Laptops and Computers

Trade-ins are possible for laptops with working screens. We don’t accept bent and/or oxidized items.

Popular trade-in items in this category include Apple MacBook Air and Apple MacBook Pro.

Headphones & Earbuds

Working earbuds or headphones with minimal wear (i.e., no frayed wires or cracked ear cups) are good candidates for trade-in.

Popular trade-in items include Apple Airpods Max, Apple Airpods Pro 1, Beats by Dre Powerbeats Pro Bluetooth, Sony WH1000XM4, and Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700.

Gaming Consoles & Accessories

Devices that are working but may have cosmetic damage can still be traded. Missing parts, like controllers or power cables, can reduce the value, but it still can be worth optioning your item for trade-in either way.

Popular items for trade-in include Sony PlayStation 4, Sony PlayStation 4 Slim, Nintendo Switch, Microsoft Xbox One S, and Nintendo Switch Lite.
