AirPods Max trade-in value: what affects your offer?
Price follows current resale demand, then your answers adjust it.
Version
USB-C models earn more than Lightning.
Noise cancellation
If it doesn't work, the offer drops.
Battery
Shorter battery life reduces the offer.
Cushions and canopy
Worn cushions and tears lower the condition grade.
Accessories
The original box adds a little.
Are my AirPods Max eligible?
Both sides need to play sound, you need both earbuds and the original case (except AirPods Max), and they must be removed from Find My, genuine and legally yours.
Scuffs and shorter battery life can still qualify at a lower offer. Single earbuds, loose cases, replicas or AirPods still in Find My can't get an instant quote. Full eligibility rules.
Accessories that affect your offer
- Original box
Before you sell
- Remove them from Find My before shipping.
- Wipe the ear cushions and headband.
- Pack them in their Smart Case if you have it.
How we grade your AirPods Max's condition
Choose the grade that matches the outside of your AirPods Max. Working problems are asked separately, so you're never marked down twice for the same thing.
No scratches or scuffs on the earbuds and case.
Light scratches you only notice up close. No dents.
Visible scratches, scuffs or a small dent.
Heavy wear, deep scratches or several dents. Still fully working.
Cracked case or broken hinge. Still works.
Won't power on, no usable picture, locked, liquid damaged. These can't get an instant quote.
