Occasionally, we’ll run trade-up / overtrade programs. These are special promotions that allow you to trade in your used device for additional credit towards the purchase of a new device or receive additional cash bonuses after purchase i.e. your used device is valued at a much higher price than a trade-in. We partner with brands and retailers to run these programs to help you upgrade to the latest models at a lower cost. Participating in a trade-up / overtrade program can maximise the value of your old device while making the upgrade process more affordable.
The difference between trade-in and trade-up/overtrade is: - Trade-in: You get a quoted price based on your old phone’s model and condition. You can trade your phone for any available device listed on Carousell. - Trade-up/overtrade: You get a similar quoted price based on your phone’s model and condition, but you also receive additional credits or bonuses (up to $300). This option is only available for buying brand-new phones. To start: - For Trade-in, chat with Carousell on the listing you're interested in. - For Trade-up/overtrade, fill out a 1-minute form and select a deal under 'Limited-time only.'

Data Related
Yes, we prioritise the security and privacy of your personal data. The platform has a strong security procedure to protect your information during the sales process. We also conduct data wiping once the device is back in the warehouse during the inspection process.
We advise you to delete all personal data from your phone only after accepting our final offer price and choosing to sell. If you didn’t delete your data before the appointment, you don’t have to worry either! Our technical team will erase all your data via solutions certified by Singapore’s Cyber Security Agency. Please ensure that all user account locks e.g. iCloud, Samsung Cloud are removed upon accepting the offers.
For maximum security, your device undergoes a data erasure process beyond a factory reset. We utilise solutions certified by Singapore’s Cyber Security Agency so you can sell your device to us with peace of mind. Here’s an analogy: Think of your device as a book, and your data as the contents. A factory reset removes the table of contents, but your pictures and information in the book still exist. Our data erasure solution rips apart the table of contents, pages of pictures and information, and replaces them with new pages. This ensures all your data is safely destroyed.
Miscelleneous
You have to download the Carousell app to schedule an appointment. Furthermore, it is for diagnostic purposes such as checking your device's internal system features.
