If you’ve got some used smartphones, laptops, smartwatches, and more laying around collecting dust, Gadget Salvation will give you cash for it, and you can get an extra 10% with our exclusive coupon “GADGET10” at checkout (available until December 31, 2025).
Used gadgets are something that most of us have laying around the house. In some cases, an used phone is a good way to save money on a new one, especially as more and more Android brands have been elevating trade-in values. But for some devices, trade-ins aren’t worth it, or aren’t accepted in the first place.
That’s where buyback platforms like Gadget Salvation step in.
Gadget Salvation is a company that will buy back your used tech and try to give it new life with the goal of extending the life of pre-owned devices and lessening e-waste. The idea is to give the user a no-hassle way of getting rid of used tech and getting some cash – via Venmo, PayPal, or even a check – in return, while then trying to recycle or resell that device.
Unlike more limited trade-in programs, Gadget Salvation has a huge database of accepted devices, boasting over 4,000 accepted devices between smartphones, laptops, watches, tablets, and more.

Not everything will be worth a ton. Some devices won’t get any payback, but Gadget Salvation will still take those items and get them out of your hair at no cost to you. Just fill out the estimate, print the shipping label, and send it off. At the bare minimum, that also means your device ends up in a place where it can still do some good, rather than just ending up in a landfill. Gadget Salvation will make repairs to the device as needed before bringing it back to the resale market where someone can buy it for a fair price.
When you send in a device to Gadget Salvation, you’ll need to remove your password and/or reset your device and include the charging cable or power cable if you have it.
Pricing varies by device and condition, but you can get an extra 10% on any estimate from Gadget Salvation using the code “GADGET10” at checkout (available until December 31, 2025).
