Electronics
What are my used electronics worth?
Electronics depreciate on a predictable curve, but the exact model number and storage/spec tier can swing value by hundreds of dollars. Buyers search by model number, so identification precision is the whole game.
Typical resale price bands
| Tier | Typical sold range | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| Older accessories and cables | $3 – $25 | Bundle into lots. |
| Phones and tablets 3–5 years old | $50 – $250 | Battery health and carrier lock materially change price. |
| Recent laptops and consoles | $200 – $900 | Spec tier (RAM/SSD/GPU) decides the band. |
| Pro cameras, lenses and audio | $400 – $5,000+ | Shutter count, glass condition and boxed accessories. |
Ranges are indicative of recent sold activity and move with the market. Always confirm against comps for your exact item.

Questions sellers ask
Should I factory reset before listing?
Yes — remove account and activation locks first. Locked devices sell for parts prices.
Sell locally or ship?
High-value phones and laptops are the most disputed shipped category. Local cash sales on OfferUp avoid most fraud risk.
