Sell your used AirPods the simple way

See your price online, ship free, and get paid once it passes inspection.

We buy complete sets: both earbuds with their original charging case, or AirPods Max. Single earbuds and loose cases can't be resold as a set.

Replica AirPods are common, so every pair is checked by serial number on arrival.

Value

How much are my AirPods worth?

A model name alone doesn't set the price. Two AirPods from the same year can be worth very different amounts.

Model+Configuration+Condition+Functionality+Market demand=Your offer

We base offers on current resale demand for your exact configuration, then adjust for condition and anything that doesn't work.
