About Rick's iStock
If you've ever tried to sell a used iPhone, you already know the frustration — lowball offers, vague condition grading, payments that take days to arrive, or "deductions" that show up only after you've already shipped your device. Rick's iStock was built to be the antidote to all of that.
We're an Arizona-based iPhone buyback service on a simple mission: make selling your iPhone fast, transparent, and fair. Whether you're upgrading to the latest model or just looking to put some extra cash in your pocket, we make the process straightforward from start to finish.
Our Story
Rick's iStock started with a straightforward idea — that people selling their used iPhones deserve a better experience. Too many buyers in this space operate with fine print, shifting offers, and slow payments. We set out to do things differently.
Based in Arizona and focused exclusively on iPhones, we've built our business around three non-negotiables: honest pricing, transparent inspections, and fast payment. Every iPhone we purchase gets resold through trusted platforms like Back Market, which means we have a real stake in quality — and in treating sellers right.
Over the years, that commitment has earned us a reputation we're proud of: a 5.0/5 rating on OfferUp from over 1,056 reviews, a 5.0/5 on Swappa from 590+ verified buyers, and a BBB A+ Rating. Those aren't numbers we advertise lightly — they reflect thousands of real transactions with real people.
What Makes Us Different
Real-Time Pricing
iPhone resale values shift constantly based on market demand, new model releases, and platform trends. Our quote tool updates every 10 minutes, so the price you see reflects what your device is worth right now — not last week's rates.
No Hidden Deductions
Some buyers quote you one price online and then find reasons to reduce it once your phone arrives. We don't do that. Our inspection process is fully transparent: if we find something that affects value, we'll tell you exactly what it is and why, before any payment changes are made.
Payment Within 24 Hours
Once your iPhone passes inspection, you get paid the same day — or within 24 hours at most. Choose your preferred payment method: PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, Cash App, or Apple Pay. No waiting around for a check in the mail.
Free Shipping, No Surprises
We provide a prepaid USPS shipping label at no cost to you. Pack your iPhone, drop it off at any USPS location, and we handle the rest.
