What You Can Do With Old or Unused Devices

October 06, 20242 min read

Do you have old phones, tablets, or laptops collecting dust in a drawer?

If so, you’re not alone. Many of us hang on to our outdated or unused devices, thinking they might come in handy one day.

But instead of letting them gather dust, you could be turning those devices into cash or recycling them through iFixNC.

Here’s how you can help the environment with your old electronics and why now is the perfect time to bring them to one of our locations.

1. Devices Hold Surprising Value

Many people underestimate the value of their unwanted and unused electronics. Even if your device isn’t the latest model, there’s a good chance it still holds value.

Devices like iPhones, iPads, and MacBooks often retain a significant portion of their original cost, even when used.

Gamers are also on the lookout for older consoles, especially those that are no longer in production.

For example, a used iPhone can be sold, depending on its condition and model.

Even if the screen is cracked or the battery life isn’t great, repair shops like iFixNC will sometimes buy these devices and resell them, meaning you still get a decent payout for what might seem like a paperweight.

Even if your device isn’t in working condition, its can potentially be repurposed. Broken screens, faulty batteries, and damaged motherboards can be repurposed in other devices.

We often buy old or broken devices for this very reason.

Take, for example, old laptops. Even if the laptop doesn’t turn on, its components can be used.

2. Recycle Responsibly

If your device is too old or no longer usable, you can always recycle it. At iFixNC, we make it easy for you to drop off your old technology at a convenient location.

Recycling your electronics not only helps the environment but also supports sustainable practices.

Our knowledgeable staff can guide you on any repair options, allowing you to maximize the life of your tech before recycling.

Delve into a greener future with us while making the ultimate choice for your old devices!

Conclusion: Don’t Let Old Devices Gather Dust

Your old or unused electronics are worth more than you think.

From quick cash sales to trade-ins and recycled donations, there are plenty of ways to get value from devices you no longer use. At iFixNC, we’re here to help you make the most of your old tech.

Whether it’s buying your device outright or offering advice on how to sell it, we’re just a chat or visit away.

Ready to bring in on your old devices?
