Can I Sell a Broken iPad?
Yes, broken iPads may still hold value depending on the issue and overall condition.
Many damaged iPads can be refurbished, repaired, or used for parts recovery. This includes devices with cracked screens, battery problems, charging faults, liquid damage, or iPads that no longer switch on properly.
Even if your iPad isn’t in perfect working condition, it may still be worth selling rather than leaving it unused. Providing accurate condition details during the quote process helps keep the assessment smooth and avoids unexpected changes later.
What iPad Models Can I Sell?
We accept a wide range of iPads, including both newer and older models. Whether you’re upgrading your current device or clearing out an unused iPad at home, many models may still hold worthwhile cash value. Common iPads customers sell include:
iPad Pro
iPad Air
iPad Mini
Standard Apple iPad models
Your iPad value can vary depending on factors such as the model, storage capacity, condition and overall functionality of the device. Newer iPads and higher-storage variants often attract stronger resale demand, but older models can be eligible as well. Even an iPad with cosmetic wear, battery issues, or minor faults may still have value depending on its condition.
Do iPads Hold More Value Than Expected?
Many people are surprised by how fast the second-hand iPad market is growing in Australia. Certain models continue to hold value particularly well, especially newer iPad Pro and iPad Air devices with higher storage capacities or cellular connectivity. For many people, selling an iPad becomes more worthwhile than expected once they see the resale demand for newer Apple devices.
Demand for used iPads remains strong across Australia, particularly among students, families, and businesses looking for reliable Apple devices at lower prices. iPads are commonly reused for study, travel, streaming, note-taking, point-of-sale systems, and day-to-day work. That said, the final iPad cash value can vary depending on the model, storage capacity, condition and overall demand for that device.
What Happens After Your iPad Arrives?
Once your iPad reaches our team, it goes through an inspection process to confirm its condition and specifications. We check:
Physical condition
Screen functionality
Battery performance
Storage capacity
Activation lock status
General functionality
If the condition matches the submitted quote details, approval is completed, and payment is processed within 24 hours. In case it does not, we’ll send you an updated quote and provide all the details. You can choose to proceed with the revised price or not; it’s totally up to you.
After that, devices suitable for reuse are refurbished and prepared for their next owner. Others may still be responsibly recycled for parts and materials, helping reduce unnecessary electronic waste.
Before Sending Your iPad, Don’t Skip These Steps
Most people store years of personal information on their iPad without really thinking about it. These include photos, saved passwords, banking apps, notes, emails, and cloud accounts. Before selling the device, it’s worth spending a few minutes preparing it properly.
A common question people ask is how to clear an iPad before selling, so their personal information is properly removed. The process is quite simple. Start by backing up anything important using iCloud or another secure method. Once that’s done, sign out of your Apple ID and make sure Find My iPad is turned off. This removes Activation Lock and helps avoid delays during inspection.
Many customers also search for how to erase an iPad before selling it to ensure the device is fully reset before sending it away. Completing a factory reset through the settings menu will securely clear the iPad and prepare it for its next user.
What’s more, if your iPad has a SIM card, case, Apple Pencil, or accessories you’d like to keep, remove them before shipping the device. Taking these steps properly helps protect your privacy and keeps the selling process running smoothly.

Very easy to find my phone on the website and fill in details regarding its condition (mine had a non-iPhone screen repair). I was given a quote, and could immediately print out a postage label to send in my phone.
