Your options, compared
Based on each company's publicly available information. We don't list prices because offers depend on the exact device and its condition.
1. Sell Your Gadgets
Walk-in buyback stores (plus free mail-in)
- How you get paid:
- Cash on the spot, the same day, after a buyer inspects the item in front of you. Zelle or check at many stores.
- Best for:
- Same-day cash at stores across NYC, Long Island, and Western New York.
- Watch out for:
- Offers are made in person, not from an online price list. Bring a photo ID and sign out of iCloud, Google, or Samsung first.
2. PayMore
Walk-in buyback stores (franchise)
- How you get paid:
- Paid in store after an in-person evaluation.
- Best for:
- Shoppers who have a PayMore location nearby.
- Watch out for:
- Store hours and what each location buys vary, so call ahead.
3. ecoATM
Self-serve kiosks in grocery stores, Walmarts, and malls
- How you get paid:
- Cash from the kiosk if you accept its offer.
- Best for:
- A quick phone sale when a kiosk is closer than a store.
- Watch out for:
- Mostly phones, tablets, and smartwatches. A machine grades the device, so there is no one to explain the offer. Photo ID required.
4. Pawn shops
Walk-in lenders that also buy
- How you get paid:
- Cash, either as a loan against the item or an outright purchase.
- Best for:
- Short-term loans when you want the item back.
- Watch out for:
- Loans carry interest and deadlines. Many pawn shops buy electronics only as collateral.
5. Facebook Marketplace / Craigslist
Local person-to-person listings
- How you get paid:
- Cash or app payment from a stranger when you meet.
- Best for:
- Patient sellers comfortable meeting buyers.
- Watch out for:
- No-shows, haggling, and scam risk. Meet in a public place and never ship before you are paid.
