Meet at a police station safe-exchange zone
Dallas PD and most DFW suburbs (Plano, Frisco, Garland, Irving) offer lobby or parking-lot exchange zones. We happily meet there — or skip the meetup entirely and get paid at your door.

Dallas tips & news for selling your phone
Local advice from a real Dallas buyer — safe meetups, price timing, carrier unlocks, and what's moving in DFW right now.
Local tips
Prices move with Apple's launch cycle
In Dallas, used iPhone prices dip 10–15% in the weeks after each September keynote. Locking an offer before the event usually beats waiting.
Carrier unlocks matter more in Texas
DFW buyers pay more for unlocked phones because they resell nationwide. AT&T and T-Mobile unlock requests are free once your phone is paid off — do it before you sell.
Heat kills batteries — check yours first
Texas summers are hard on batteries. Check Settings > Battery > Battery Health before quoting; above 85% health keeps you in the top grade.
Oak Cliff, Deep Ellum, Uptown — we come to you
Same-day pickup across Dallas proper, plus Richardson, Garland, Arlington, Fort Worth, Denton and the rest of DFW. No mall kiosks, no parking garages.
Wipe your phone the right way
Sign out of iCloud and turn off Find My before factory reset — a phone with Activation Lock on can't be resold and drops to parts value.
