A local counter, not a shipping label.
Fast Money Electronics has been buying electronics from Orlando customers since 2014. This page explains who we are, how we price an iPad, and what happens to your device and your data after you sell it.
Twelve years on South Orange Ave
Fast Money Electronics opened in Orlando in 2014 to do one thing well: pay people fairly, in person, for electronics they no longer use. No shipping boxes, no waiting on a transfer, no listing a tablet online and fielding messages from strangers.
iPads became a large part of that. People upgrade, inherit a device, crack a screen, or find an old one in a drawer, and they want a straight answer about what it is worth. We give that answer at the counter, usually in about fifteen minutes, and you are free to walk away with the iPad if the number is not for you.
The address has not changed since we opened. That matters more than it sounds: if something ever goes wrong, you know exactly where to find us.
Why Orlando chooses us
Four things that separate a local buyback counter from a mail-in service or an online listing.
Paid the same visit
The offer you accept is handed to you before you leave. Nothing is pending, and nothing arrives days later.
Inspected before quoted
We check the device first and quote second, so there is nothing left to discover later and no revised offer.
Your data stays yours
We confirm the iPad is erased and signed out of your Apple account before it leaves the counter.
Damaged devices welcome
Cracked, dented, water-damaged or dead iPads are priced on parts and repair value, not turned away.
No black box
How we price an iPad
Six things decide your number. We will walk through each of them with you while the device is on the counter.
01
Model and generation
An iPad Pro, Air, Mini and base iPad sit at very different price points, and each generation moves separately as newer ones launch.
02
Storage capacity
Higher-capacity models resell for more, so a 1TB device is worth meaningfully more than the 128GB version of the same iPad.
03
Screen and body condition
Light scuffs barely move the number. Cracked glass, dents or a lifting screen shift the offer to repair-based pricing.
04
Battery health
A worn battery is a replacement cost for whoever buys it next, so it gets factored into the offer rather than ignored.
05
Functionality
Cameras, speakers, charging port, Wi-Fi and cellular all get checked. Faults do not disqualify a device, they adjust its value.
06
Current market demand
Resale values shift month to month. We price against what the model is actually selling for now, not a year-old chart.
What happens to your data
An iPad holds photos, messages, saved passwords and account access. Handing one to a stranger in a parking lot means trusting they will deal with all of it properly.
Here, the device is erased and signed out of your Apple account while you are standing there. We check that Find My is off and that the iPad is no longer tied to you before it goes into the case. If you are not sure how to do any of that, we will walk you through it rather than rush you.
Bring your Apple ID password if you know it. It keeps the whole process to a few minutes instead of a return trip.
