How it works
Get your instant offer
Select iPhone as the brand and get your instant offer.
Free collection
Accept it, and we’ll collect for free, anywhere in South Africa.
We test it
We test it against what you told us. If it matches, and it usually does, no last-minute haggling and no surprise phone call about a scratch you already told us about.
Get paid
Paid within 5 days, or more via voucher or consignment.
What determines your iPhone’s offer
Model and storage
Newer models and higher storage capacities (128GB, 256GB, 512GB+) command higher offers, the single biggest factor.
Screen and body condition
Cracks, deep scratches or a bent chassis lower the offer. Tell us honestly and the tested offer will match what we quoted.
Battery health
iPhones report battery health as a percentage in Settings. A healthy battery gets you a better offer than one that needs replacing.
iCloud sign-out (required)
We can’t buy an iPhone still Activation Locked to someone else’s Apple ID. Sign out of iCloud and turn off Find My iPhone first, we’ll walk you through it.
Epic Deals vs the alternatives
Not exactly a nail-biter.
| 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
iPhones depreciate hard and fast, especially in the weeks after a new model launches and yours quietly becomes “last year’s.” A 6 to 12 month old iPhone can shed 20 to 30% of its resale value almost overnight. The Pareto move isn’t waiting for the perfect time to sell, it’s selling the moment you upgrade, while the value is still there.
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 iPhone.
Voucher+12%
Take store credit instead of cash. 12% extra, because loyalty should pay better than cash does.
Consignment
We list and sell it on your behalf. Slower than an instant offer, but often worth the wait, think patient investor rather than impulse seller. Paid on average within about 13 working days, usually for more than our instant offer.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to remove my Apple ID before selling my iPhone?
Yes, this one’s non-negotiable. Apple’s Activation Lock means a locked iPhone is effectively unusable to anyone but the original owner, so we’re not able to buy one that’s still signed in. Go to Settings > [your name] > Find My > Find My iPhone and turn it off, or use Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Erase All Content and Settings, which removes it automatically if you’re signed in with your passcode.
Do you buy iPhones with a cracked screen or other damage?
Yes, we buy iPhones across a wide range of conditions. Damage lowers the offer rather than ruling it out, get an instant offer and we’ll grade the exact condition when we test it.
Do I need the original box or charger?
No, but including them in good condition can improve your offer slightly. The phone itself is what mainly determines the price.
How long until I get paid?
Within 5 days of us receiving and testing your iPhone, 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. Genuinely free, not “free” with an asterisk the size of Cape Town.
Which iPhone models do you buy?
All current and recent iPhone models, from older SE and 11-series phones through to the latest Pro Max. Get an instant offer for your specific model.
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 fake-payment risk, just a tested offer, free courier collection and a real payment into your account.
What if my iPhone won’t turn on?
We still want to hear from you, get an instant offer and we’ll assess it properly once it arrives. A non-working phone is worth less than a working one, but it’s not worth nothing.
