Yes, absolutely. While we're known for our lease-to-own program, you don't have to lease anything. If you've got the cash and want to buy a phone outright, we sell phones with no lease, no payments, and no strings attached.
A lot of people see our ads for the lease program and assume that's the only way to buy from us. It's not. Let's break down how outright purchases work.
How outright pricing works
When you buy a phone outright, you pay the full price upfront and the phone is 100% yours immediately. No weekly payments, no lease agreement, nothing. You own it free and clear.
Our outright prices are competitive with other used phone sellers. In many cases, you'll find our prices are lower than what you'd pay at a carrier store or big box retailer — especially for gently used phones in excellent condition.
The exact price depends on the model, storage size, and condition. Here's a rough idea of what outright prices look like:
- iPhone 12/13: $200-$350
- iPhone 14/15: $350-$550
- Samsung Galaxy S23/S24: $300-$500
- Google Pixel 7/8: $200-$400
Prices change based on market conditions and what we have in stock. Call us or stop by for current pricing on specific models.
Outright vs. lease — what's the difference?
The main difference is simple: outright is cheaper overall, but you pay more upfront. Lease-to-own lets you spread the cost over weekly payments, but you'll pay more in total because of the convenience.
For example, a phone that costs $350 outright might be $50 down plus $35/week for about 5 months on a lease — which adds up to more than $350. That's the trade-off. If you can afford to pay upfront, buying outright saves you money. If you need to spread it out, the lease is there for you.
Payment methods we accept
For outright purchases, we accept:
- Cash — in-store only, obviously
- Debit and credit cards — Visa, Mastercard, American Express
- Zelle — instant transfer from your bank
- Cash App — quick and easy
No checks, no payment plans on outright purchases. Pay in full and take your phone.
