OnePlus no longer sells phones in the United States or other countries in North America and Europe. Customers with newer OnePlus devices have been promised support until 2029, so there’s little reason to abandon ship immediately. But for those of you looking to get started anyway, you’re probably considering resale value to recoup some costs. But is it really a good idea to sell?
If you’re past your return window for a OnePlus 15, you might be able to get away with selling near MSRP ($900 for 256GB, $1,000 for 512GB) if you get it on eBay. On Swappa, mint condition listings for the 256GB version are already sliding below MSRP, going all the way to $721 in September 2026, while the 512GB units are sitting above MSRP.
Other flagship models from 2023 have cost $500 each, while the company’s mid-range Nord series devices have fallen well below $200. However, poor OnePlus Open owners may have to settle for a refund of as little as $600 from someone buying a phone they originally paid $1,700 for. If you’re hoping for a touch of nostalgia, you’d better keep waiting: we’ve found working OnePlus One deals in the $40-$60 range – $30 or less if you’re in the market for parts. Of course, your mileage may vary.
Should you trade in your OnePlus phone?

With other phone brands, the best alternative you can do is be able to get a new line with a wireless carrier or switch with a trade-in. OnePlus, however, is a bit trickier. We can’t easily assess the likelihood that you’ll be able to take full advantage of these so-called free phone promotions to switch carriers, which give you account credits applied over the life of an installment plan to ensure you stick around. T-Mobile and Verizon often limit eligibility by brand and model, so you’ll need to enter your IMEI into one of the exchange tools on their respective websites. As a warning, the price they offer may make you wonder if using an old phone for trade-in value is actually worth it.
While T-Mobile and Verizon require you to enter information into an online tool, AT&T simply posts a full overview of device eligibility for current trade-in promotions on its site. Starting September 2026, that means you’ll get anywhere from hundreds to over a thousand dollars for any good device from the OnePlus 8 series or later, depending on which phone you intend to buy. Want to get $1,000 off a Motorola Razr Ultra (MSRP: $1,320)? Maybe giving up the OnePlus 11 is worth it… if you get one of the more expensive service plans. Otherwise, you’ll see it reduced to $500. Be careful, this still beats the $300 to $400 quotes on eBay.
