We’ll email you a pre-paid Australia Post shipping label. Simply drop your device at any post office, from Sydney CBD and North Sydney to Parramatta and Penrith.

Our Condition Standards: Getting the Best Price for Your Device
When you get your instant quote, you’ll select a condition for your device. To ensure you get the fastest 24-hour payout, here is a simple guide to our grading standards:
Mint
Like new. No scratches, no cracks, and fully functional. This is typically a device that has been in a protective case and screen protector since day one.
Good
Normal signs of use. You might see minor scuffs or light scratches on the body, but the screen is clean and the device works perfectly.
Fair
Visible wear and tear. This includes noticeable scratches on the screen or body from honest, everyday use, but the device remains fully functional.
Partially Damaged
This covers iPhones or Samsungs with a cracked screen, damaged casing, or minor hardware issues (like a faulty button), provided the device still powers on.
Faulty / Dead
For devices that won't turn on or have major internal faults. We still buy these! Even "dead" tech has value for parts and responsible recycling in NSW.
Got a Broken Phone or Cracked Screen? We Still Buy It.
A lot of people in Sydney assume their broken phone isn’t worth anything but at Mobile Guru, that’s simply not true. We buy broken iPhones, damaged Samsung phones, and iPads with faulty parts from Sydneysiders every single day.
- Shattered or cracked screens (the most common Sydney trade-in!)
- Water damage or liquid exposure
- Batteries that no longer hold a charge
- Faulty buttons, speakers, or charging ports
- Dead” devices that won’t turn on at all

Selling Your Phone in Sydney: What You Should Know
Sydney is Australia’s largest city, and there are plenty of ways to offload an old phone here. You could try Facebook Marketplace or any other way but that comes with meeting strangers, haggling, and no guarantee the buyer actually shows up. You could walk into a phone shop for a trade-in but retail trade-ins almost always pay less than a dedicated phone buyer.
Or you could use Mobile Guru. Get a genuine online quote, ship for free from any Australia Post location across Sydney whether you’re in the CBD, Parramatta, Chatswood, Liverpool, Bondi, or anywhere else and get paid to your bank account within 24 hours of inspection.
