Get Paid for Your Old Laptop, MacBook, iPhone or Gaming PC
Fix I.T. buys used, unwanted and broken electronics across Cape Town. Tell us what you have and we'll come back with a fair offer — working, faulty or completely dead. Devices we can't refurbish are stripped for parts or recycled responsibly, so nothing ends up in landfill.
What We Buy
We buy and accept trade-ins on most modern electronics — from a single iPhone to a full office of laptops. If it's on this list (or close to it), send us the details.
MacBooks
MacBook Air and MacBook Pro — Intel and Apple silicon models, including units with cracked screens, liquid damage or logic board faults.
iMacs & Mac Desktops
iMac, Mac mini and Mac Studio. Older Intel iMacs still have value for parts and refurbishment.
iPhones & iPads
Recent and older iPhone and iPad models — working, cracked or with battery issues. Must be removed from iCloud.
Windows Laptops
Dell, HP, Lenovo, ASUS, Acer, MSI and more — business, student and gaming laptops.
Gaming PCs & Desktops
Complete gaming builds, office PCs and workstations — with or without monitor and peripherals.
PC & Gaming Components
Graphics cards, CPUs, motherboards, RAM, SSDs, power supplies and cases — new, used or pulled from an upgrade.
Gaming Consoles
PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch consoles, plus controllers and accessories.
Business & Bulk Devices
Office upgrades and end-of-life fleets. We collect, wipe every device and give you a list of what we received.
Broken & Dead Devices
Won't power on, smashed or water damaged? Still worth something for parts — and recycled properly if not.

- Working or not — we'll make an offer. Faulty and broken devices still have value.
- Your data is wiped securely before any device is refurbished, resold or recycled.
- Trade-in credit toward a repair, upgrade or refurbished laptop, MacBook or iPhone.

Selling Your Device: FAQs
What devices do you buy?
We buy MacBooks, iMacs, Mac minis, iPhones, iPads, Windows laptops, gaming laptops, gaming and office PCs, PC components such as graphics cards, CPUs, RAM and SSDs, and gaming consoles. If you are unsure, send us the details and we will let you know.
Do you buy broken, faulty or water-damaged devices?
Yes. Devices with cracked screens, liquid damage, dead batteries or that will not power on still have value for parts and refurbishment, so we will make you an offer. Anything we cannot reuse is recycled responsibly.
How do you work out my offer?
Offers are based on the exact model and specs, cosmetic and working condition, included accessories and current market value. The offer is confirmed once a technician has checked the device in our workshop.
What happens to my data?
Every device is securely wiped before it is refurbished, resold or recycled. Before selling, back up your files and sign out of iCloud, Find My, Google and Microsoft accounts. Activation-locked devices cannot be accepted.
Do I need to bring ID?
Yes. Please bring a valid South African ID, driver’s licence or passport. South African second-hand goods law requires us to record the seller’s details, and proof of purchase helps if you have it.
Can I trade in my device toward a repair or another device?
Yes. Instead of cash, you can use your device’s value as credit toward a repair, an upgrade or a refurbished laptop, MacBook or iPhone from Fix I.T.
Do you collect devices, or must I drop them off?
Both. You can book a drop-off at our Claremont workshop or we can arrange a collection across Cape Town, including the Southern Suburbs, CBD, Atlantic Seaboard and Peninsula.
Do you buy devices in bulk from businesses?
Yes. We buy and recycle office laptops, desktops and phones in bulk, collect them from your premises, wipe all data and provide a list of the devices received.
We buy devices from across Cape Town — Claremont, Rondebosch, Newlands, Kenilworth, Constantia, Wynberg, Observatory, Woodstock, the CBD, Gardens, Sea Point, Hout Bay, Tokai, Muizenberg, Fish Hoek and Noordhoek. Looking for a repair instead? See our MacBook & iMac repairs and laptop & PC repairs.
