Sell Apple Watch Series 3 Gamestop

Ready to sell your old Apple tree Scout so you can buy the
Apple Lookout Series v? Or perhaps you've only decided this clothing isn't the right one for you. (Amazfit Bip S, anyone?)

Whatsoever the instance, at that place are a few important steps to take when selling an Apple tree Sentry. The commencement is to make sure y'all've wiped everything. The second: Brand sure you go top dollar for that bad boy.

Prep your Apple Sentinel for sale

Before you tin can sell your scout, you lot need to make sure it'due south unpaired from your iPhone and restored to factory settings. Tin can't y'all just utilize the Erase All Content and Settings option on the lookout man itself? No, because fifty-fifty subsequently that step, it'll remain paired to your telephone, meaning the new owner won't exist able to set up it up with his or her device.

Therefore, do this:

Footstep one:
With your iPhone and Apple Watch in close proximity, open the Watch app on the quondam.

Step 2:
Tap
My Sentry
at the lesser of the app, then tap the name of your sentinel (near the top).

Step 3:
Tap the little "i" to the correct of your watch name, and so tap
Unpair Apple tree Sentry. Follow the prompts from there.

This procedure volition non just disable Activation Lock (which is what would prevent the picket from being paired from a dissimilar phone), but as well erases the lookout and restores it to factory settings. If you're upgrading, take no fearfulness: Your iPhone will keep a Sentry backup that tin can be restored to the newer model.

With that done, gather up the box, charging dock and any other accessories y'all might accept, considering it'south fourth dimension to sell (and the more original stuff you lot can include, the more money you lot'll make).

Sell your Apple Watch for top dollar

The rules for selling your Apple tree Sentinel dovetail pretty closely with those for
selling your iPhone. Indeed, you lot have the same basic options: sell it yourself or await at trade-in/buy-back services.

Apple's trade-in program, for example, will give you up to $thirty (in store credit) for an Apple Watch Series 1, upwards to $100 for an Apple Watch Series 3 then on.
Best Purchase's trade-in rates
are a little higher on those two models: $fifty and $70, respectively, but keep in mind it tin can vary depending on watch size, condition, features and so on.

You may do meliorate selling the watch outright via Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace or
eBay, where you can set your own cost. My preference these days is to utilise Market, equally buyers are less anonymous than on Craigslist and you don't have to pay eBay'due south fairly substantial fees. Of course, you lot're working with a smaller pool of buyers (local rather than national or even international), then you lot might have a harder time actually making the auction.

Somewhere in between the lowball offers of an Apple or Best Buy and the various hassles of Market place and eBay, yous'll notice buy-back services like
BuyBackWorld,
Decluttr
and
MaxBack. Using an Apple Watch Series 3 38mm GPS (in "very practiced" status) as my baseline, I requested quotes from all three. Their offers: $75, $75 and $56.eighty, respectively.

Your mileage may vary, of grade, depending on the model, manner and status of your Apple Watch. To save time, consider using
a comparing site like SellCell
to get quotes from multiple buyers all at once.

One important tip: If you are indeed planning to sell, don't expect. Apple typically announces new models in September, meaning
a Serial 6 is probably simply a couple of months abroad. One time that happens, the value of your current watch will offset to driblet.
