What affects your Streaming Component payout
Every offer on MyDeviceValue is set by a real buyback company against a specific Streaming Component. A few things move the number up or down more than anything else.
- Model and year. Newer Streaming Component models hold the highest top prices. If you are deciding when to sell, the price drop is usually steepest in the first 30 days after a new generation launches.
- Accessories and account lock. Original box and charger usually do not change the offer, but a missing power button, dead biometrics, or activation lock will. Sign out of your accounts and disable Find My or Google account lock before shipping.

Streaming Component buyback FAQs
Can I sell a broken or cracked Streaming Component?
Buyers vary on whether they accept a damaged Streaming Component. Check the Faulty grade on your model page. If no offers appear, the device may currently be uneconomic to recycle through buyback. Manufacturer recycling or a local repair shop are usually the next best routes.
How long does it take to get paid for a Streaming Component?
Once you accept an offer, most vendors send a prepaid shipping label within 24 hours. Inspection takes 1 to 2 business days after the device arrives, and payment is typically issued the same day inspection clears. End to end, expect 7 to 10 business days from when you ship.
Is it safer to trade in my Streaming Component with my carrier or manufacturer instead?
Carrier and manufacturer trade in programs are convenient but usually pay in store credit at well below open market rates. The buyback companies on MyDeviceValue pay cash (PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, ACH, or check) and most sellers receive 20 to 40% more than the equivalent trade in.
