How to Sell Your iPhone in 3 Easy Steps
Skip the traffic, avoid the mall queues, and forget the hassle of dealing with strangers on Facebook Marketplace or Gumtree. Our process is built to make selling the device quick for busy Sydneysiders:
Search for your device on our website and select its condition. Whether you want to sell new, old or broken tech, you’ll receive a real cash offer in seconds.
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.
Once your device is checked and approved, you’ll be paid within 24 hours, straight to your bank account. No delays, no chasing payments.
What Devices Can You Sell From Sydney?
We buy a wide range of phones, tablets, and tech: working or not. Here is what Sydneysiders sell us most:
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
Looks like new. No scratches, no cracks, fully functional. Usually a device that’s been protected with a case and screen protector from day one.
Good
Normal signs of use. Minor scuffs or light scratches on the body, but the screen is clean, and the device works perfectly.
Fair
Noticeable wear and tear. Scratches on the screen or body from everyday use, but the device remains fully functional.
Partially Damaged
Covers devices with a cracked screen, damaged casing, or minor hardware issues (like a faulty button), as long as it still powers on.
Faulty / Dead
Faulty or won’t turn on? No problem, we still buy them! Even “dead” devices have value for parts or responsible recycling in NSW.
Got a Broken Phone or Cracked Screen? We Still Buy It.
Many Sydneysiders assume their broken phone isn’t worth anything, but that’s not the case at Mobile Guru. We buy broken iPhones, damaged Samsung phones, and iPads with faulty parts from Sydneysiders every day.
We accept devices with:
- Shattered or cracked screens (the most common Sydney trade-in!)
- Water or liquid damage
- Batteries that no longer hold a charge
- Faulty buttons, speakers, or charging ports
- Devices that won’t turn on (“dead” devices)

Sydney sellers get free express shipping via Australia Post. Just print the prepaid label we send you, drop the device at your nearest post office, and that’s it. No hidden costs.

Selling Your Phone in Sydney: What You Should Know
Sydney is Australia’s largest city, and there’s no shortage of ways to sell your old phone. You could try Facebook Marketplace or similar platforms, but that often means dealing with strangers, haggling over price, and there’s no guarantee the buyer will even show up. You could also visit a phone shop for a trade-in, but these typically offer less than what a dedicated phone buyer will pay.
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.
