The 5 options for selling an iPhone in Montreal

1. SubSell (specialized store — recommended)

For whom: anyone who wants to maximize price and minimize time. Typical price: 20-50% above Apple Trade-In. Delay: 5-10 minutes. Payment method: CAD cash or instant Interac e-Transfer. Broken iPhones: accepted. Location: 757 Rue Beaubien East, Montreal, 30 seconds from Métro Beaubien (orange line). Hours: 9 AM-10 PM, 7 days a week, no appointment.

2. Apple Trade-In

For whom: Apple-loyal buyers who will buy a new iPhone from Apple in the following days. Typical price: 20-50% below SubSell. Delay: 7-14 mail-in days or 30-60 min at the Apple Store with appointment. Payment: Apple Store gift card only (no cash). Broken iPhones: often rejected. Advantage: ergonomic if you replace directly at Apple.

3. Kijiji / Facebook Marketplace

For whom: patient sellers willing to negotiate for 10-15% more. Typical price: 5-15% above SubSell. Delay: days to weeks of messages + meetups. Payment: cash (risk of fake bills) or Interac (risk of fake transfers). Risks: meetups with strangers, buyer scams, endless negotiations, zero recourse for disputes after. For most, the differential isn't worth the risk.

4. Carriers (Bell, Rogers, Telus, Videotron)

For whom: clients renewing their plan with the same carrier. Typical price: low, often below Apple Trade-In. Delay: 1-2 weeks mail-in. Payment: bill credit only (never cash). Broken iPhones: rejected. Avoid unless renewing directly.

5. Pawn shops

For whom: need immediate cash with no alternative. Typical price: 50-70% below SubSell. Delay: minutes. Risk: very low prices, possible illegal resale. Avoid except absolute emergencies — SubSell is open 9 AM-10 PM every day for the same speed at a fair price.

How to choose based on your situation

• iPhone in perfect condition, want maximum quickly → SubSell (cash) or Kijiji (10% more but 1 week of effort)
• Broken iPhone / cracked screen / water damage → SubSell (only ones to pay a fair price for broken)
• You're buying a new iPhone directly from Apple → Apple Trade-In (credit applicable at checkout)
• You're renewing your Bell/Rogers/Telus plan → Carrier trade-in (bill credit)
• You're in the suburbs (Laval, Longueuil, South Shore) → SubSell (the bridge is worth the price difference)
• You have multiple iPhones (family, business) → SubSell (B2B service available, GST/QST invoicing)
