How trade-in works

A clear in-store process.

Start by telling us about your device. We assess it in store, explain the available options and let you decide what works for you.

01

Tell us about your device

Visit our Rathfarnham store or message us first with the device model, condition and any known issues.

Visit or message us
02

In-store assessment

Device checked in store
03

Review your options

We explain the available trade-in options clearly. You can then decide whether you would like to proceed.

You decide what happens next
No sight-unseen prices. We can't give a final trade-in price from a photo or message alone, because condition has to be checked in person — anyone who values a phone sight-unseen is guessing.

Questions

Before you visit.

How does trade-in work at Royal Tech?

Bring your device to our Rathfarnham store for an in-person assessment. We check its model, condition and functionality, then explain the available options before you decide whether to proceed.

Which devices can I bring for assessment?

You can enquire about smartphones, tablets, laptops, MacBooks and Apple Watches. Eligibility depends on the exact model, condition and current requirements, so message us first if you are unsure.

Can I trade in a damaged or faulty device?

You can still bring a damaged or partially working device for assessment. Damage, missing parts, activation locks and functional faults can affect eligibility and the options available.

How is the trade-in value decided?

The assessment considers the device model, storage, age, cosmetic condition, functionality and any included accessories. A final option can only be confirmed after the device has been inspected in store.

Should I erase my device before visiting?

Back up your important data, but keep the device testable for the assessment. If you decide to proceed, you can erase it and remove linked accounts before the final handover.

Do I need the original box or charger?

Bring the original box, charger, cable or accessories if you still have them. You can ask us about a device without these items, but available accessories may be considered during assessment.

Do I need to book an appointment?

Walk-ins are welcome at 13 Main Street, Rathfarnham. You can also submit the form on this page or message us before travelling to check whether your device is suitable for assessment.

When will I receive the final trade-in option?

We explain the available option after inspecting and testing the device. The online form helps us understand your enquiry, but it is not a guaranteed quote or final valuation.
