What Determines Your Device’s Trade-In Value?
Every device is assessed individually to provide a fair and transparent offer. Your estimated and final trade-in value may depend on:
• Brand, model and storage capacity
• Physical and cosmetic condition
• Screen, battery and overall performance
• Account locks, network locks or security restrictions
• Accessories, charger and original packaging included
• Current market demand and resale value
Final value is confirmed after our team physically inspects the device.
Before You Trade In Your Device
Remove all account locks
Sign out of iCloud, Find My iPhone, Google, Samsung, Microsoft, MDM and any other security or activation locks.
Back up and erase your data
Back up important files, photos and contacts, then factory-reset the device before handing it over.
Bring proof of ownership
You must be the legal owner. Hotspot Electronics may request valid photo identification or proof of purchase.
Quote subject to inspection
Online or initial quotes are estimates. The final value is confirmed after our team checks the device’s condition, specifications and functionality.
Bring accessories where available
Chargers, boxes, cables and original accessories may help improve the final trade-in value.
