Everything you can trade in at Back Market

Whether you're a frequent Back Market buyer or a complete newbie to the world of refurbishment, you might be a little intimidated by the idea of trading in your devices.

We're gung-ho about it for two big reasons. One, it helps the planet – by giving chucked away devices a second life – and two, it's a financially savvy way to declutter your home, all while getting a fair return on your old gadgets.

We always talk about the fact that you can swap your phones and laptops. But did you know that there's lots more tech you can swap for cash?

We mean lots. Gaming consoles, earphones, tablets, smartwatches, even Dyson appliances – you name it. Plus, we're not in the business of giving you less than you deserve. For each device we'll offer you actual cash, straight into your bank account – to spend on more tech, a great takeaway, or save it for a rainy day. So get trading. Here's a breakdown of what you can send us for the best deal.

What you can trade in

Items you can trade in on Back Market Australia can be broken into six main categories:

• Smartphones and tablets

• MacBooks and laptops

• Gaming consoles

• Headphones, earbuds and speakers

• Smartwatches

• Household appliances (Dyson)

We've listed some conditions guidelines of each type of device so you know if yours is suitable.

Smartphones and tablets

Back Market accepts phones with minor damage, provided they are fully functional. Even older models have value, especially if they are unlocked or in good condition.

Smartphones

Popular trade-in items in this category include Apple iPhone 11, Apple iPhone 12, Apple iPhone XR, Samsung Galaxy S21 5G, Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G and Oppo devices.

Tablets

Popular trade-in items in this category include iPad 10 (2022, A14 series), iPad Pro (2021, M1 series), Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE and Microsoft Surface tablets.

MacBooks and laptops

Trade-ins are possible for laptops with working screens. We don't accept bent and/or oxidised items.

Popular trade-in items in this category include Apple MacBook Air, Apple MacBook Pro, Dell laptops and Microsoft Surface laptops.

Headphones, earbuds and speakers

Working earbuds, headphones or speakers with minimal wear (i.e., no frayed wires or cracked ear cups) are good candidates for trade-in.

Popular trade-in items include AirPods 4 (2024), AirPods Pro, Bose earphones, Beats headphones and portable speakers.

Gaming consoles and accessories

Devices that are working but may have cosmetic damage can still be traded. Missing parts, like controllers or power cables, can reduce the value, but it still can be worth optioning your item for trade-in either way.

Popular items for trade-in include PlayStation 4 Slim

Your old smartwatch could be worth more than you think. We accept smartwatches in good working condition — screens should be free of major cracks and the device should power on and hold a charge.

Popular trade-in item is Apple Watch.

Home appliances

Yes, really — you can trade in your Dyson. Whether it's a vacuum cleaner, a hair styling tool or another Dyson product, we'll make you a cash offer as long as it's in full working order with no major physical damage.

Popular trade-in items include Dyson vacuum cleaners such as the Gen5Detect, as well as the Dyson Airwrap and Dyson Corrale hair styling tools.
