Selling Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you buy faulty or damaged devices?

Yes. We consider working, damaged and faulty devices. The offer depends on the model, specification, condition, faults and whether the device remains economically repairable or suitable for parts.

Is collection really free?

Yes. After you accept our offer, we can arrange free collection from your home or workplace. Next-day collection depends on the time of acceptance, working days and courier availability.

How should I package the device?

Use a strong box with sufficient protective packaging so the device cannot move during transit. Protect screens and corners carefully and avoid sending the device in a thin envelope.

When will I be paid?

Payment is made by bank transfer after the device has arrived and the inspection confirms that it matches the submitted description and accepted offer.

What happens if the condition is different?

When the model, specification, condition or faults differ from the submission, we may issue a revised offer. You can accept or decline the revised amount.

Do I need to remove my accounts?

Yes. Apple ID, Google account, Samsung account and other activation or security locks should be removed before collection. Locked devices may have significantly reduced value or may not be accepted.

Should I erase my data?

Back up anything you need and factory reset the device where possible. Tech Lab is not responsible for retaining personal data on devices submitted for sale.

Can I sell a device without the box or charger?

Some devices can be accepted without the original box or charger. Clearly state which accessories are included when completing the form.
