What determines your AirPods’ offer
Model
AirPods, AirPods Pro or AirPods Max, and generation, are the biggest driver of your offer.
What’s included
A complete set (both earbuds plus the charging case) is worth meaningfully more than a single earbud or a case on its own.
Battery health
AirPods batteries degrade with use. Ones that still hold a reasonable charge per session are worth more.
No Activation Lock to worry about
Unlike iPhone, iPad, Mac or Apple Watch, AirPods don’t have an Activation Lock tied to your Apple ID, there’s nothing to sign out of before you sell.
Epic Deals vs the alternatives
Selling shouldn’t be harder than finding the other AirPod.
| Epic Deals | Classifieds | Pawn shop | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price haggling | No last-minute haggling | Constant lowballing | Take it or leave it |
| Payment speed | 5 days | Weeks to find a buyer | Immediate but low |
| Collection | Free nationwide courier | Meet a stranger | Walk-in only |
| Safety | VAT-registered, Ombud-accredited business | Fake-payment risk | Varies |
Why sell now, not later
AirPods batteries don’t pause just because you’ve moved on to a newer pair. They degrade with every charge cycle, whether you’re using them daily or they’re sitting quietly in a drawer since you upgraded. A pair sitting unused for a year is worth less than the exact same pair sold today, and that value only moves one direction. The best time to sell wasn’t the day you last used them, it’s today.
Why South Africans sell to us specifically
Epic Deals has paid South Africans over R88 million for their used tech since 2013 (yes, actually paid, not “up to”), with 1,800+ real customer reviews. We’re not a stranger from a classifieds app, we’re a registered, VAT-paying South African business with a track record you can check, and a participant in the Consumer Goods and Services Ombud Scheme, the independent, CPA-accredited dispute resolution body for retail complaints in South Africa.
Want more than the instant cash offer?
Cash
Paid within 5 days once we’ve collected and tested your AirPods.
Voucher+12%
Take store credit instead of cash. 12% extra, spend it on the AirPods Pro you were eyeing anyway.
Consignment
We list and sell them on your behalf. Slower than an instant offer, but a complete set usually fetches more. Paid on average within about 13 working days.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to remove my Apple ID or sign out of anything first?
No. AirPods don’t have an Activation Lock tied to your Apple ID the way iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch do, there’s genuinely nothing to sign out of before selling them.
Do you buy a single AirPod or just the case?
Get an instant offer either way and we’ll assess it honestly, a complete pair with the case is worth significantly more than a single earbud or a case alone.
Do you buy AirPods Pro and AirPods Max too?
Yes, all current AirPods models. Select your exact model when getting your instant offer.
Does battery health matter?
Yes, AirPods batteries wear out with use. A pair that still holds a reasonable charge is worth more than one needing frequent top-ups.
How long until I get paid?
Within 5 days of us receiving and testing your AirPods, by EFT. Or take our voucher for 12% extra to spend in-store, or sell on consignment for potentially even more.
Is the courier really free?
Yes, free nationwide courier collection, no hidden cost.
Is there a safer way to sell than meeting a stranger from Facebook Marketplace or Gumtree?
That’s exactly what we built this for. No meetups, no haggling over authenticity, just a tested offer, free courier collection and a real payment into your account.
