How a trade-in works at SubSell
At SubSell, 757 Rue Beaubien East in Montreal, a trade-in is simple: we evaluate your current phone (trade-in value up to its maximum based on condition and capacity), you choose a refurbished iPhone with a warranty of up to 2 years, and you pay only the difference starting from that amount. If your old device is worth more than the new one, you receive the difference in cash, worked out on the cash price. No deposit, 5-10 minute transaction, walk-in. Conditions apply based on your phone's condition and the model chosen — the exact price is confirmed in-store.

FAQ
How does a trade-in at SubSell work?
Bring your old phone, we evaluate it (5 min), and you walk out with a refurbished iPhone paying only the difference. Trade-in up to the maximum value based on condition; the exact price is confirmed in-store.
How much is my phone's trade-in worth?
The trade-in value goes up to $2,145 depending on the model, capacity and condition (perfect condition, newest model). The exact amount depends on the real condition (screen, battery, function) and is confirmed in-store. Conditions apply.
What if my old phone is worth more than the new one?
No problem — you receive the difference in cash based on the evaluation, worked out on the cash price (the trade-in bonus only applies to a purchase). It's a two-way trade.
Can I trade in a broken phone?
Yes. Cracked screen, back glass, water damage or Face ID: your phone is taken in all the same. Its exact price is confirmed after the free check, then the trade-in bonus is added, and the total comes off the price of the phone you choose. The bonus is not paid out in cash.
Which models can I trade in?
All iPhones (X to 17 Pro Max), and we also accept Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel as trade-ins. The calculator lists every iPhone on both sides; for a Samsung or a Pixel, call or message us.
Is the new phone under warranty?
Yes — every SubSell refurbished iPhone is unlocked, tested, and comes with a warranty of up to 2 years depending on the model. Try it in store, no deposit.
Do I need an appointment?
No. Walk in to 757 Rue Beaubien East, 7 days a week, 9 AM to 9 PM. Fill out the calculator and we'll call you within the hour with your estimate.
Student, newcomer, Montréal resident or Laval resident: do you pay more for my phone?
Students (valid student ID), newcomers (proof of recent arrival) and residents of Montréal and Laval (postal code starting with H): when you sell us your phone, we pay up to 10% more than the like-new cash price shown (5 to 10% depending on the model), on select models; when you trade it in toward one of our phones, its trade-in value can reach the cash price shown + 15%. The exact amount is confirmed in store after the free check. One offer per transaction: the bonus on the phone you sell, or 10% off the phone you buy. On a trade-in the bonus lowers the price of the phone you buy; it is never paid out in cash. On Saturdays and Sundays, anyone who sells us their phone for cash in store gets up to 10% more than the like-new cash price shown (select models; not on trade-ins), no proof needed. During Black Friday week (November 23 to 30, 2026) and the holidays (December 19, 2026 to January 3, 2027), the weekend bonus applies every day: anyone who sells us their phone for cash in store gets up to 10% more than the like-new cash price shown (select models; not on trade-ins), no proof needed.
Straight answers
Questions people ask before selling
- Who gives the most money for trade-in phones?
Compare what the trade-in takes off the price of the phone you get, and in what form. Apple gives credit; carriers generally give bill or device credit tied to a plan. At SubSell, a trade-in value is above our cash price and comes off your next phone; if your old phone’s cash price is higher than that phone’s price, you get the difference in cash. The trade-in bonus is never paid out in cash.
- Where can I trade in my phone to get money?
If money is what you want, you are really selling, not trading in: Apple and carriers give credit, not cash. At SubSell in Montréal, you can sell your phone for cash on the spot, or trade it toward one of our phones and, if its cash price is higher than that phone’s price, get the difference in cash. The trade-in bonus is never paid out in cash.
- Which phone is best for value for money?
For most people, the best value is a refurbished iPhone one to three generations old: it costs far less than new, still gets the latest iOS updates and resells well later. At SubSell, refurbished iPhones start at $80, checked, not tied to any carrier, with a warranty of up to 2 years depending on the model and a lifetime warranty on network problems.
- Is it worth selling your old phone?
Usually yes. A phone loses value every year it sits in a drawer, and an old phone still holding your data is a risk. Keep it only if you will really use it, as a backup or a child’s first phone. Otherwise sell it while it is worth something; if it is too old to sell, it is taken back for free.
