Sell your Google Phone

It's important to get your phone's model correct prior to selling it to avoid any surprises.

Your Google device’s model information can be found by opening the "Settings" application, then scrolling all the way down and clicking on "System". After that tap on "About Phone". Your model name will be listed under Device name.

It really depends. If you're an experienced seller on eBay or Craigslist, you will likely get the highest value for your Google phone on those platforms. However, they do require more effort from the seller, charge fees, and come with risk of fraud that novice sellers may not know how to protect themselves from.

If you share some of these concerns then we recommend using a trade-in site such as ItsWorthMore. Trade in websites leverage their volume discounts and industry know-how to provide a smooth streamlined experience; for a slightly lower payout.

Another alternative is to trade in your phone directly with your carrier or at the Google store. These typically offer lowest payouts and often come in the form of a gift card. Carriers tend to run promotions at times as well, usually if you switch carriers. Under the right circumstances, they can result in a very high return for your device. 

Some older Google phones, especially non-functional ones, do not have much of a resale value and you can choose to recycle them. Recycling in an environmentally friendly manner helps keep toxic pollutants, such as lead, out of the environment. Keep us all healthier and happier!

The best time to sell your Google phone is usually now. Trade in prices for Google phones rarely trend up.

If you're looking to get the latest phone right when it's released, the best time to trade in or lock in an offer would be just before the announcement.
