Sell your phone, tablet, laptop or watch in Oakland

Cash for Techs meets Oakland and East Bay sellers by appointment and pays cash on the spot. Tell us the device, storage and condition, get an offer by text, then we agree a public meetup spot and time when we confirm.

How an Oakland meetup works

  1. Get your offer by text. Use the form below. You usually hear back within the hour between 8am and 9pm.
  2. Book a time. Oakland meetups run on set days; we confirm a public spot and time by text. We do not publish the location.
  3. Meet, check, cash. We check the device in front of you and pay cash. Ten minutes.

The offer rule

Describe the condition honestly and the offer you got by text is the cash you get at the meetup. We do not re-grade a device that matches its description. If something does not match, we tell you before any number changes and you can walk away.
