    Sell Your Phone in Tacoma, WA

    Looking to sell your old phone for cash in Tacoma? We Buy Cell Phones is a local electronics buyback shop located in downtown Tacoma. We pay top dollar for used phones of all brands and conditions — and you get paid on the spot at your appointment.

    What we buy

    • iPhones (all models, including older generations)
    • Samsung Galaxy phones (S series, A series, Note series)
    • Google Pixel phones
    • Motorola phones
    • LG phones
    • OnePlus phones
    • Phones with cracked screens or bad batteries

    Condition

    We buy phones in all conditions — mint, good, cracked screen, bad battery, or even non-functional. Condition affects the payout amount, but we'll always give you an honest offer.

    How pricing works

    Our prices are based on the model, storage size, and condition of your phone. We consistently pay more than carrier trade-in programs, ecoATM kiosks, and most online buyback services — and you don't have to wait days for a check.

    Frequently asked questions

    What should I do to prepare my phone before selling?

    Back up anything you want to keep, sign out of personal accounts, disable Find My/Activation Lock, and factory reset your device. We can help with these steps, but personal accounts and applicable account locks must be removed before the sale is completed. We use the device manufacturer's standard factory-reset/erase process before resale. This is not a certified data-erasure process and does not guarantee that data is irrecoverable. Staff may interact with your device to help you back up or transfer information, remove accounts, and factory reset/erase the device. We do not intentionally retain your personal device data.

    Do you buy financed or blacklisted devices?

    Financed devices can be eligible if they are otherwise eligible and the IMEI is clean/not blacklisted. We do not purchase actively blacklisted devices or devices reported lost or stolen.

    What do I need to complete a sale?

    You must be at least 18 years old and present a valid government-issued photo ID to complete a sale.

    What if my phone has a cracked screen?

    We still buy phones with cracked screens. The payout will be lower than a mint condition device, but it's often still more than what you'd get elsewhere.

    How do I get paid?

    Payment methods include Cash, Apple Pay, Cash App, Zelle, and Venmo. Most transactions take about 5–15 minutes.

    Do I need an appointment?

    Appointments are preferred, but we can often accommodate same-day or short-notice visits. Call or text (253) 503-9358 to check availability.
