Had a cracked-screen iPad Air I thought was worthless. SellMac gave me $145 for it. Super easy printed the label, dropped it off, got paid via Zelle two days later.

At Techable, we believe no piece of technology should end up in a landfill. Every device we receive through SellMac gets a second life either as a fully refurbished product on Techable.com, or through our responsible component recovery program.
Devices that can't be refurbished are carefully disassembled. Batteries, displays, logic boards, and chassis components are recovered and reused keeping e-waste out of landfills and reducing the demand for new raw materials.
When you sell to SellMac, you get paid and your old device stays out of the landfill. That's the deal.
Three things drive your payout. Here's how we price every iPad Air.
Newer iPads (Pro M4, Air M3, mini A17 Pro) with 256GB+ storage command the highest payouts.
Cellular models with strong battery health get top dollar. Wi-Fi-only iPads still get fair offers, just $40-120 less.
Mint-condition iPads earn the best price, but we buy any condition cracked screens, dented corners, even iPads that won't power on.
If your iPad Air is sitting in a drawer, it's losing value. Every September, Apple's new release pushes older models down. The best time to sell is now and SellMac makes the whole process painless. No meetups, no haggling, no shipping fees. Just a straightforward iPad Air buyback with a fast cash payout up to $1,550 for top configurations.
SellMac is the trade-in side of Techable, one of the largest independent Apple refurbishers in the U.S. We refurbish and resell iPad Airs directly through our own store, so there's no middleman taking a cut. That's why our offers consistently beat Apple Trade-In and most carrier programs by 15 to 35%. Over 20,000 devices purchased and $20M+ paid to sellers across all 50 states with a 5.0 rating from 2,000+ reviews.

Yes. Through Techable's No Parts to Waste program, every iPad has value working or not. iPads that can't be refurbished are responsibly disassembled and their components (batteries, displays, logic boards, cameras) are recovered and reused. Nothing goes to waste, and you still get paid.
Before you mail your iPad Air, sign out of iCloud, turn off Find My iPad, and factory reset the device (Settings General Transfer or Reset iPad). This isn't optional iPads still locked to an Apple ID can't be inspected or paid out until you remove them remotely from iCloud.com. There's no financial penalty for forgetting, just a procedural delay while we wait. We'll email instructions if needed.
