The amount you'll get for your LG V40 ThinQ depends on its condition, storage size, carrier lock status, and any security settings that remain active. ecoATM provides an instant cash offer at the kiosk (or after an online estimate) based on real-time pricing, and because ecoATM pays cash rather than bill credits it often compares favorably to carrier trade-in values. Exact offers vary by device and location, so bring your device to a kiosk for a final price.

Start by getting an online quote on ecoATM's website, then prepare your phone (see the prep FAQ below) and find a nearby ecoATM kiosk inside Walmart or other major retailers. At the kiosk you'll connect the LG V40 ThinQ so the machine can run diagnostics and evaluate condition, then you can accept or decline the instant cash offer. If you accept, ecoATM pays you on the spot (cash) or via Venmo or PayPal depending on kiosk options.

Yes — ecoATM accepts devices with cracked screens, dents, faulty batteries, and other damage, though those issues will lower the offer you receive. If the kiosk determines there is no cash offer available, ecoATM will recycle the device responsibly so it doesn't end up in a landfill. You'll still be treated fairly for parts and recycling value when resale is not possible.

Yes — ecoATM buys both locked and unlocked devices, but carrier-locked phones typically receive a lower offer than unlocked ones because locked status limits resale markets. A carrier lock means the phone is tied to one wireless provider until it is unlocked, and ecoATM will still evaluate and make a competitive offer based on that status. Removing a lock or unlocking the device before selling can help increase the offer.

Back up any photos and files you want to keep, then sign out of your Google account and disable Factory Reset Protection (FRP) so the kiosk can fully evaluate the device. Remove your SIM card, perform a factory reset, and confirm the phone boots to the setup screen before you visit an ecoATM kiosk. Preparing the device this way helps ensure you receive the best possible offer.

You should factory reset your LG V40 ThinQ before selling to remove personal accounts and data, and ecoATM also performs additional data wiping on devices it acquires before resale. ecoATM states it uses secure data handling processes and wipes devices to industry standards prior to putting them back on the market. Taking the pre-sale steps above plus ecoATM's wipe procedures helps protect your personal information.

If your LG V40 ThinQ is in good condition, ecoATM refurbishes and resells it to extend its useful life and keep working devices in circulation. Devices that can't be resold are recycled through certified e-waste partners so valuable materials are recovered and toxic components are kept out of landfills. Selling to ecoATM helps you get cash while supporting reuse and responsible recycling of electronics.

The trade-in value of your LG V40 ThinQ 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 V40 ThinQ 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.
