What brand new means
- Sealed in the original packaging, or opened but never worn or used.
- No earwax, residue, odour or any sign of skin contact.
- Never paired to a device and never activated.
- Charging case included and in good condition.
- All ear tips, cushions and accessories present.
Earbuds sit in your ears, so there is no second-hand market for them worth paying for. We would rather say that plainly than quote you a number and revise it after you have shipped. A used pair is sent back to you free.
AirPods Max is the exception
AirPods Max are over-ear, so we grade them Brand new, Like new, Good and Fair and we do buy used ones. Fair allows deep scratches and visible earwax or dust in the speaker mesh, as long as everything works and the original case is included. Open the AirPods Max page and the quote tool spells out each grade.
Which charging case do I have?
Turn the case over and look at the port. A Lightning case has the small flat connector Apple used until 2023. A USB-C case has the oval one that matches a recent iPhone or iPad cable. It changes the payout on some models, so pick the right one.

AirPods trade-in FAQ
Do you buy used AirPods?
Not earbuds. AirPods, AirPods Pro and the 4th and 5th generation models have to be brand new — sealed, or opened but never worn or used. AirPods Max are the exception and are bought in four grades.
What if I have already worn them once?
Then they are used, and we cannot buy them. There is no grade below brand new for earbuds. If a worn pair arrives we will contact you and send it back free of charge.
Does the charging case type change what I get?
On some models, yes. The table above shows the Lightning and USB-C figures side by side where they differ.
How much are my AirPods worth in Canada?
Between $25 and $293 depending on the model and the charging case. The table above lists every pair we buy — open yours for an exact figure, locked for 14 days.
How fast do I get paid?
Within 24 hours of your AirPods arriving, by e-Transfer or PayPal. In Winnipeg you can walk in and be paid on the spot.
Can I sell a single AirPod or just the case?
No. We buy complete sets only — both earbuds and the charging case, in the original box.
