Honest cash, priced on condition and specs.
We're a recycler — we pay real money, but not top dollar. Most e-waste places pay nothing at all; we look up the actual model, storage, RAM and battery and give you a real number based on what we can refurbish or part out.
We pay — not top dollar, but real money. Specs and condition move the number, not weight. And if a device is truly beyond saving, we may pass on it — we'll tell you before anything is picked up.
You see the exact number before anything moves. No renegotiation on the day unless the device is meaningfully different from what you described.
Start with the grade.
Every offer starts here — then specs move it up or down within the tier.
Boots quickly, runs current software, battery holds a charge, screen and case look sharp. This is where our best offers live.
Example — MacBook Air from the last few years, current-gen iPad, iPhone 13 and newer.
Fully functional but a few generations behind, or shows normal wear — small scuffs, tired battery, minor cosmetic marks.
Example — 5-year-old business laptop, iPad with scratches, older iPhone that still runs fine.
Turns on but something's wrong — cracked screen, dead battery, sticky keys, a failing component. Still worth something for parts or repair.
Example — iPhone with a cracked screen, laptop that won't hold a charge, iPad with a bad port.
Won't turn on, water damaged, or truly beyond saving. We take most of these for free recycling — but if there's nothing usable at all, we reserve the right to pass.
Example — Ancient tower nobody makes parts for, phone that hasn't turned on in years, water-damaged laptop.
Then the specs decide where you land.
Two laptops in the same condition can be worth wildly different amounts. Here's what actually shifts the number — in the order it matters.
A 2023 MacBook Air pays far more than a 2015 one, even in the same condition. We look up the exact model — not the category.
512GB and 1TB models resell for a lot more than base 128GB / 256GB. On phones, storage matters most on Pro / Max models.
16GB and 32GB machines stay usable much longer, so they resell for more. 8GB is baseline. 4GB drops a machine down a tier.
Gaming laptops and desktops with a dedicated graphics card are the highest payouts we do — RTX cards especially. Even an older gaming rig usually beats a newer office machine.
A device that boots into the OS is worth a lot more than one that won't turn on. Even a cracked-screen phone that still powers on beats a dead one.
Cracked glass, dead pixels or a battery that dies in an hour all pull the offer down — but not to zero. We fix these all the time.
Dents, deep scratches and missing keys chip a bit off. Original charger and box add a bit back. Nothing here makes or breaks the offer.
We pay lots for gaming laptops and PCs.
Anything with a dedicated graphics card is worth real money to us — gaming laptops, custom-built desktops, prebuilts, even ones that don't boot but still have a good GPU inside. These are our top payouts, well above a normal office laptop.
Send us the exact GPU, CPU and RAM and we'll come back with a number.
What a typical offer looks like.
Rough shape only — the real number depends on model year, storage and RAM. Tap a device to filter.
Not a price list — a shape. Send the model and specs for a real number.
A few real numbers from the last little while.
We're a home-based setup — reserve your drop-off.
VicTechCycle runs out of a home workshop, not a storefront — so there's no walk-in counter. To drop off one to four devices, reserve a time first by email or phone. We'll confirm a slot, then you bring it by and get paid on the spot.
Email mapleloopit@gmail.com or call (250) 986-6407. 10+ devices? We'll come to you — free pickup.
We resell, so we can pay you something.
Not store credit, not a donation receipt, not a coffee gift card. Actual cash or e-transfer when we take the device.
You see the number before anything moves. We don't renegotiate on the day unless the device is meaningfully different from what you described.
We reserve the right to decline devices we can't refurbish, part out or responsibly move. You'll always know before anything is picked up — no wasted trips.
