Questions about selling your iPod
How does selling my iPod work?
Choose your model, colour and capacity, answer a few questions and see your offer. Send us your answers, print your quote and mail your iPod with the quote in the box by USPS Ground Advantage. We check it against your answers and pay you by PayPal, usually within 1 to 3 business days of its arrival, or in store credit.
Which iPods do you buy?
The full-size iPod from the 3rd Gen to the 7th Gen classic, the iPod mini, and the iPod nano, shuffle and touch all get an offer on this page. Earlier models, flash-modded iPods, special editions and sealed iPods get a quote by email: choose “Other or not listed”.
Do you buy broken or untested iPods?
Yes. Answer the questions about how it works, or choose “I can't test it” for a quote as is.
How do you work out my offer?
From the current market price for the same model and capacity, less what your answers tell us about it.
How long is my offer good for?
30 days. Mail your iPod so it's postmarked within 30 days of your quote (the date is on the printed quote). After that, we re-quote it at that day's price.
What if you find something different when it arrives?
If the difference is $5 or less, you get your quote. If it's more, we email you photos, the reason and a new offer, and you have 7 days to accept it. Say no, or don't answer after our reminder, and we send your iPod back free by USPS Ground Advantage within 3 business days. We never take silence as a yes.
What if my iPod is better than I said?
If it's a better model or a bigger capacity than you picked, you get the higher offer. For its condition, we pay what you were quoted.
How and when do I get paid?
By PayPal, to the PayPal email you give us, usually within 1 to 3 business days of your iPod's arrival. Or choose store credit worth 50% more.
Cash or store credit: what's the difference?
Store credit is worth 50% more than the cash offer. It comes as an iMods gift card for any imods.com order, including a repair or upgrade quote or invoice. It never expires, any balance stays on the card, and it can't be turned into cash. Already paid for a service? We refund it when your iPod arrives.
Can I send it in the same box as an iPod coming in for service?
Yes. Put both iPods in one box: one postage, and your store credit comes off that service.
Who pays for shipping?
You do: pack it in a sturdy, cushioned box and mail it by USPS Ground Advantage. Sending an iPod in for service too? Both travel on one postage.
Is my package insured?
USPS Ground Advantage includes tracking and up to $100 of insurance. Keep your receipt.
Do I need to erase it first?
If you can. Restore an iPod classic, mini, nano or shuffle with “Restore iPod” in Finder on a Mac or in iTunes on a PC. On an iPod touch, sign out of your Apple ID, then use Erase All Content and Settings. If it won't turn on, we erase it. We never look through what's on your iPod: drives we take out are wiped or destroyed.
Can I keep my music?
Copy anything you want to keep before you send it: Apple's tools copy only iTunes Store purchases back from an iPod, and once your iPod is here, we erase it.
Does my iPod touch need Find My turned off?
Yes, for an iPod touch 5th Gen or later: sign out of Find My before you send it. One that's still signed in, or can't be checked, is bought for parts and quoted by email.
How do I find my model and capacity?
Compare it with the pictures on this page, or use Identify your iPod.
Should I send the charger, cable or box?
You don't need to. If you include them, mention them in your notes.
It's engraved, opened before or flash-modded. Does that matter?
Engraving and earlier repairs are among the questions, and they change the offer. A flash-modded iPod gets a quote by email: choose “Other or not listed”.
It's sealed, new in its box, or a 1st or 2nd Gen iPod.
Choose “Other or not listed” and tell us. We quote those by email and price them once we see them.
I have several iPods to sell.
Use “Selling several iPods?” in the form: list them all, and we email you one quote for the lot.
Who can sell?
Anyone 18 or older who owns the iPod.
What happens to my iPod?
We give it a second life, or use its parts to keep other iPods running longer. Either way, it stays out of the trash.
My battery looks swollen.
Don't charge it or mail it: a swollen battery can't go in the mail. Contact us first.
