The short answer: the fastest, safest way to sell an iPhone in Montreal is a local buyback shop — you walk out paid in cash the same day, after a free evaluation that takes about 5 minutes.
Kijiji or Facebook Marketplace can sometimes net slightly more, but you pay for it in days of listings, lowball offers and no-shows. Here are the 5 options, compared honestly.

The best place to sell an iPhone in Canada?
Nationwide mail-in services work anywhere in Canada, and they're a fair option if you're not near a shop. But if you're in Montreal, a walk-in store pays the same day with no shipping risk and no wait. The "best" place depends on whether you value the extra convenience of a local counter over a mailed cheque.
Prep your iPhone before selling (3 minutes)
- • Back up your data (iCloud or computer).
- • Turn off Find My iPhone (Settings → your name → Find My).
- • Sign out of iCloud and erase (Settings → General → Transfer or Reset).
- • Pull your SIM. That's it — the team can also guide you through it in store.
How much can you get?
Value depends on model, storage and condition: SubSell buybacks range from $60 for older or damaged models up to $1,950 for recent flagships. Check per-model values or drop in for a free evaluation. Cracked screen? We still buy it.
🌳 Our environmental commitment
