What Do You Need to Sell Your iPhone in Melbourne?

Find out exactly what documents and steps are required to sell your iPhone for cash in Melbourne.

Selling your iPhone is simple. You do not need stacks of paperwork or a receipt. Here is exactly what you need to sell your iPhone quickly and safely in Melbourne.

The iPhone Itself

Obviously, you need the device. For sealed iPhones, keep it in the original sealed packaging. For used iPhones, the phone with original box and accessories if available — though the box is not required.

Sign Out of iCloud First

The most important step: sign out of your iCloud account before the sale. Go to Settings > [Your Name] > Sign Out and enter your Apple ID password. This removes the Activation Lock, which allows the buyer to use the phone. An iCloud-locked iPhone is worth significantly less.

Photo ID

We require a form of photo ID — a driver's licence, passport, or government-issued ID card. This is standard practice for second-hand goods buyers in Victoria and is required for compliance purposes.

That Is It

No receipt needed. No original box required for used devices. No appointment needed. Just call 0435 277 611, get a quote, meet us with the phone and your ID, and walk away with cash.
