Why cash? The difference vs other options
Selling your phone online (Kijiji, Facebook Marketplace) often means hours of negotiation, organizing meetups, and risking fraud via fake transfers. Selling by mail means shipping your device and waiting several days to be paid, at a price that may be revised after inspection.
SubSell is the simple alternative in Montreal: cash in hand right after the free evaluation, in the shop, with a receipt. No bank delays, no post-transaction disputes.
Payment methods accepted
In the shop: cash
Canadian bills, counted in front of you as soon as the evaluation is done, with a receipt. No delay.
By mail: Interac e-Transfer
From anywhere in Canada, we cover the shipping: Interac e-Transfer or bank wire once the device is received and checked.

How to get the best price for your phone in Montreal
The best price does not depend on the model alone. Two identical iPhones can sell several hundred dollars apart depending on storage, the state of the screen and the back, battery health, and whether the device is unlocked. Before you come in, note your storage capacity: it is the first price factor, and a 512 GB is worth noticeably more than a 128 GB of the same model.
Arrive with the device charged. A dead battery makes it impossible to check the screen, the cameras, the speakers and Face ID, and a device that cannot be checked is always paid less than one that can. Sign out of your iCloud or Google account before you come: a phone still tied to an account can neither be checked nor paid for, and that is a common reason for a wasted trip.
A cracked screen does not disqualify you. We buy broken devices, simply at a reduced price, and it is almost always better to sell it as is than to have it restored first. The evaluation is free and takes about 5 minutes: you walk out with the exact amount, in cash, or you walk out with your device. No obligation, no fee.
Neighborhoods and metro stations served
Métro Beaubien (orange line) is 30 seconds walking distance. On the orange line, Jean-Talon and Rosemont are one stop away, Laurier two and Mont-Royal three; from Outremont, take the blue line to Jean-Talon, then one orange-line stop. Neighborhoods served: Rosemont – La Petite-Patrie, Plateau-Mont-Royal, Outremont, Villeray, Mile-End, Hochelaga-Maisonneuve, Ahuntsic, Laval, Longueuil and Brossard (see every area we serve).
Our environmental commitment
Since 2017, more than 50,000 transactions at the shop. Selling or trading instead of throwing away keeps a phone in use: every device we buy back goes back into use first, and is recycled only once it can no longer be used. Devices too damaged or too old to resell are taken back free of charge, no recycling fee, and handed only to recyclers compliant with Quebec environmental standards (ARPE-Québec). Before any resale, your data is erased with professional software; a device that is recycled has its storage destroyed.
Before you come in
Frequently asked questions — Sell for cash Montreal
What payment methods do you offer?
In the shop, cash on the spot, counted in front of you, with a receipt. By mail from anywhere in Canada, Interac e-Transfer or bank wire once the device is received and checked. No cheques, no gift cards, no store credit.
How fast do I receive my money?
Payment is immediate as soon as the evaluation is complete. Evaluation takes about 5 minutes; the full transaction (iCloud check, payment) usually takes under 15 minutes.
Do I need ID?
Yes: bring a photo ID (driver's licence or passport). It is asked for every sale, and with the stolen-phone check it keeps stolen devices out of the shop.
Do you accept stolen phones?
No. Every phone is checked against IMEI block databases. If the device is flagged as lost or stolen, we refuse the purchase. Selling a stolen device is a criminal offence.
How do you pay me?
In cash, on the spot, in the shop (a phone sold by mail is paid by Interac e-Transfer or bank wire). If you're also buying another device from us, your phone's value is deducted from the price of the newer model and you pay only the difference in cash; if your phone is worth more, we pay you the difference in cash, at the cash price (the trade-in bonus is never paid out in cash). No store credit, no gift cards.
Selling Samsung, MacBook, console — also paid in cash?
All devices we buy (iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, iPad, MacBook, Apple Watch, gaming consoles PS5/Xbox/Switch, AirPods) are paid in cash on the spot.

Questions people ask before selling
- Where is the best place to sell a phone for cash?
The best place to sell a phone for cash is a shop that pays real money on the spot, after checking the phone in front of you, and gives you a receipt. In Montréal, SubSell pays cash in store, 7 days a week from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., up to $1,950 for a sealed iPhone 17 Pro Max, with no credit or gift card involved.
- How can I sell my phone for cash?
Three ways: sell it to a buyback shop that pays cash on the spot, sell it privately to someone who pays cash, or mail it to a buyer who pays by transfer.
