The value of your LG G5 depends on condition, storage size, carrier lock status, and security settings like Factory Reset Protection. ecoATM pays instant cash at its kiosks and also offers payments via Venmo or PayPal in many locations, and that cash offer often compares favorably to carrier trade-in credit. Bring the device to a kiosk for a final, instant offer based on its exact condition.

First get an online price estimate, then back up and prepare the device before you visit a kiosk. At the ecoATM kiosk you connect the LG G5 so the machine can run diagnostics, review the instant offer, and you can accept or decline the payment on the spot. If you accept, ecoATM pays you immediately.

Yes — ecoATM accepts devices with cracked screens, dents, faulty batteries, and other damage, though condition will affect the offer you receive. If the kiosk determines the LG G5 can't be resold for parts or refurbishment, ecoATM will recycle it responsibly so it doesn't end up in a landfill. Even when a damaged device gets a lower price, selling at an ecoATM kiosk gives you an immediate option rather than storing or discarding the phone.

You can sell a carrier-locked LG G5 to ecoATM, but locked devices typically receive a lower offer than unlocked ones because they are harder to resell. A carrier lock means the phone is restricted to a specific wireless carrier until it's unlocked, and ecoATM will still evaluate and make a competitive instant offer based on that status. If possible, unlocking the phone before selling can improve the offer.

Back up any photos or files you want to keep, then sign out of your Google account and disable Factory Reset Protection (FRP) if it's enabled. Remove your SIM card, perform a factory reset to erase personal data, and bring the device and any accessories to the ecoATM kiosk for the final inspection and offer.

You should factory reset the LG G5 before selling to remove personal information, and ecoATM recommends doing that as part of preparation. ecoATM also performs additional data wiping on devices before they are refurbished or resold, and devices are wiped to industry standards to protect seller privacy. Taking the recommended pre-sale steps plus ecoATM's wiping process helps keep your data secure.

If the LG G5 is in good condition it will be refurbished and resold, giving the device a longer useful life. Devices that can't be resold are recycled through certified e-waste partners so toxic materials are recovered and kept out of landfills, which is part of ecoATM's goal to reduce electronic waste.

The trade-in value of your LG G5 isn't fixed — it's based on factors like storage capacity, physical and functional condition, and whether the device is carrier-locked or unlocked. ecoATM gives you an instant cash offer at the kiosk (paid in cash or via Venmo/PayPal where available) rather than store credit, so you can see what your LG G5 is really worth before you commit. Start with an online estimate, then complete a quick on-site diagnostic at a kiosk to lock in your final trade-in value.
