How do I get an instant price quote?

Go to decluttr.com or download the free Decluttr app (available for iPhone and Android). For CDs, DVDs, and games, use the app's camera to scan the barcode on the back of the case — the barcode is the pattern of black and white lines usually near the bottom of the back cover. For phones and tablets, select the device type and model from a dropdown menu and answer a few questions about condition. Decluttr shows you the offer price instantly.

How do I add items to your basket and review the total?

Add each item you want to sell to your Decluttr "basket" one at a time. As you scan or enter each item, the price is added to a running total at the bottom of the screen. There is no minimum number of items — you can sell just one thing or a whole box full. When you are done adding items, review the basket total and tap "Sell Now" to proceed to checkout and get your free shipping label.

How do I pack and ship your items for free?

After you confirm the sale, Decluttr emails you a prepaid UPS shipping label. Print the label and tape it to your box. Pack your items securely — use bubble wrap or crumpled paper around fragile items like discs. Drop the box off at any UPS location, which includes many office supply stores and some grocery stores. There is no cost to you for shipping — Decluttr pays for it. Decluttr recommends shipping within 7 days of generating the label.

How do I get paid after decluttr receives your items?

Once Decluttr receives your package, their team inspects each item to confirm it matches what you described. This typically takes 1 to 2 business days after delivery. If everything checks out, they send payment the next business day via PayPal, direct deposit to your bank account, or a paper check. PayPal and direct deposit are the fastest options. If an item does not match the condition you described — for example, a disc that skips or a phone with a cracked screen you did not mention — Decluttr will offer a revised lower price, which you can accept or decline.

Decluttr is a website and app that buys used electronics and media items directly from you — you do not have to find a buyer or negotiate a price. You scan an item's barcode or enter a device's model number, and Decluttr tells you immediately what they will pay. If you accept the price, you ship your items to them for free using a prepaid shipping label they provide. Once they receive and verify the items, they pay you the next business day by PayPal, direct bank deposit, or check.

The types of items Decluttr accepts include smartphones, tablets, iPods, gaming consoles, video games, CDs, DVDs, Blu-rays, and Lego sets. They do not accept every item — very old phones, scratched discs that will not play, or items not in their catalog will be declined. But for many households clearing out a closet or drawer full of old tech and entertainment, Decluttr is one of the fastest ways to turn clutter into cash.

The convenience is the main appeal. You do not have to list items, answer buyer questions, meet strangers, or wait for someone to purchase. The tradeoff is that Decluttr's prices are often lower than what you would get selling individually on eBay or Facebook Marketplace — you are paying for convenience and speed. For a single high-value item like a recent-model iPhone, you might make more selling it yourself on Swappa. But for a box of 30 CDs and an old tablet, Decluttr can be the fastest and most practical solution.
