Sell Your Pixel 8a
2024 · G576D, G6GPR, G8HHN, GKV4X
We pay up to £128, paid the same day.
Condition is what sets the offer for a Pixel 8a. A fully working handset with no damage and a battery that still charges properly sits higher on that scale; a cracked display or worn-down battery lowers it. The figure quoted before you send it is the one we pay, with no haggling on arrival, as long as the handset matches what you described.

Once we send your offer it will not drop, so you have time to decide.
We repair, so faulty still pays
Cracked screen or worn battery is a job on our bench, not a write-off.
Not the Pixel 8a storage or condition you were looking for?
We buy a lot more than we list here. Older iPhones, Samsung and Pixel handsets, iPads, Apple Watches, MacBooks and games consoles all get a real offer, and a cracked or faulty device is still worth something to us because we repair them in house. Tell us what you have and we will come back with a firm price.
No obligation, and nothing to pay. We will not give you a number we cannot honour, so if we need to see it first we will say so.
Three steps
How selling your Pixel 8a works
No haggling, no waiting on a callback, and no offer that quietly drops when you arrive.
Get your price
Pick your Pixel 8a storage and condition above and the price we pay appears straight away, no waiting for a callback.
Get it to us, three ways
Walk into the shop, book a free collection from your door within 5 miles, or post it free from anywhere in mainland UK.
Paid the same day
Accept the offer and you are paid there and then, by bank transfer, or store credit towards an upgrade or downgrade.
Your price
What your Pixel 8a is worth depends on
Storage
Bigger storage means a better price. Tell the finder above which Pixel 8a you have and it prices that exact variant.
We buy the Pixel 8a in 128GB and 256GB capacities. Select the one that is actually in the phone when you ask for an offer, because the capacity is confirmed at inspection and the final offer is based on the real storage.
Screen condition
A cracked screen does not drop you to a faulty price. You keep the condition the phone is otherwise in and we simply take off what the glass costs us to replace, because we replace them ourselves.
Body and connector
Dents, scuffs and cracks to the casing are graded as part of the overall condition. A cracked back or a bent frame lowers the offer but rarely rules a device out.
The Pixel 8a can reach us through free collection, the Haverhill counter or the post, and the offer is identical for all three routes. Choose the easiest option without worrying that one method puts you at a disadvantage.
Battery health
We check battery condition ourselves on the bench rather than asking you to self-report a figure online, since there is no single on-device reading we can rely on for every brand. A genuinely worn cell comes off at what a real replacement costs us, worked out once we have the Pixel 8a in front of us.
A Pixel 8a with a cracked display or a battery that is past its best can still be sold, but the condition grade reflects each issue. Tell us about both faults when you request the offer, and the offer will match the phone rather than a best-case guess.
The Pixel 8a has a 4492 mAh battery, and how that battery performs is one of the things assessed during inspection. If it no longer holds charge or will only run on the charger, include that in your condition notes so the handset is graded on its actual power-on state.
Whether it powers on
A device that boots and passes our checks is worth more than one that does not, but a dead handset is still worth telling us about rather than binning.
iCloud or Google account lock
We can only buy your Pixel 8a once it is signed out of your Google account, which is what clears Factory Reset Protection.
Before the handset leaves you, sign out of your Google account and switch off Factory Reset Protection. A Pixel 8a that arrives with an active account or protection lock cannot be processed, so checking both in advance keeps your sale moving without a hold-up.
Original parts matter to the price: an aftermarket screen, battery or camera fitted by someone else changes what we can pay. If you are not sure what is in your Pixel 8a, our guide on how to check a refurbished phone walks through what to look for.
Five minutes
Before you sell: five minutes that protect you
Do these before you hand the device over and the sale goes through without a hitch.
-
1.Back up what you want to keep
Photos, contacts and anything else you would not want to lose. If an upgrade is replacing it, here is our guide to moving everything to your new phone.
-
2.Sign out of iCloud or your Google account
Turn off Find My before you hand over the Pixel 8a. A device still signed in cannot be bought from you.
-
3.Take out the SIM and any memory card
These are yours to keep and are not part of the sale.
-
4.Note down the IMEI
Dial *#06# or check Settings to find it, in case you want a record for your own files.

No surprises
Ownership, ID and your data
Three things worth knowing before you sell anything to anyone, not just to us.
The device has to be yours to sell
We cannot buy a device that is still under contract or on finance, because until it is paid off you are not yet its legal owner. We also cannot buy a device that is part of an ongoing insurance claim, or that has been reported lost or stolen.
"This device is not under contract or finance, is not part of an insurance claim, and has not been reported lost or stolen - I own it outright."
We record name, address and ID on every purchase
We record the name and address of everyone we buy from, and check them against photo ID and proof of address. HMRC requires it: buying from a private seller, we have to raise the purchase invoice ourselves and it must carry your details. Bring the documents into the shop and show us, or send a photo if the device is reaching us another way.
It protects you as much as us: the purchase can always be traced back to a genuine sale rather than an anonymous one. A photocard driving licence showing your current address covers both documents on its own.
GOV.UK: VAT margin schemes, section 6.2Your data is wiped at our shop
Once your device is checked in, it is fully wiped and factory reset at our shop before it goes anywhere else. Nothing of yours is left behind on it.
Locked in
Your price is held for 14 days
Once we send you an offer for your Pixel 8a, it is held for 14 days. That gives you time to compare us against the online recyclers before deciding, without the price moving under you.

Selling your Pixel 8a
Will the offer I receive for my Pixel 8a be lowered during the inspection?
No, the figure shown before you send the Pixel 8a is the figure paid, not a starting point for negotiation. When the inspection finds the phone exactly as described, that figure is honoured rather than reduced on arrival. If the condition differs from what you declared, the revised figure is confirmed with you first.
If the Pixel 8a has a cracked display and a battery that is losing its charge, does one issue hide the other?
No, display damage and a tired battery are assessed as separate faults, so both need to be declared for the offer to be accurate. A handset that arrives with only the crack mentioned is looked at again when the battery problem comes to light, which can hold up the sale. Include both issues at the start so the offer is based on the real condition of the phone.
Do I have to remove my Google account from my Pixel 8a before you collect it?
Yes, sign out of your Google account and switch off Factory Reset Protection before the handset is collected. A Pixel 8a that arrives with an active account or a protection lock still enabled cannot be processed, so clearing both in advance keeps the sale moving.
Does using the post rather than free collection make any difference to what I get for my Pixel 8a?
No, the offer for your Pixel 8a is exactly the same whether you post it, book a free collection or drop it off at the Haverhill counter. Use whichever route suits you best, because none of them changes the figure quoted.
What needs to happen before payment is released for a Pixel 8a sent by post?
Your photo ID and proof of address have to be confirmed first, and both are required on every purchase without exception. Once those checks are done, payment goes out the same day, whether the Pixel 8a was posted, collected or handed over at Haverhill.
Is it better to have mendmyi repair my Pixel 8a than sell it to you with the fault still there?
There is no single better answer, because mendmyi repairs devices as well as buying them, so both options are open and neither is pushed on you. Ask what repairing the Pixel 8a would involve, then weigh that against selling it in its current condition and decide with the full picture in front of you.
