SELL YOUR GALAXY TAB S9 ULTRA
A Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra pays between $66 and $440. Capacity, connectivity and the state of the glass move it between those ends. Quoting takes about a minute and we hold the number for 14 days.
The S Pen first, since it outweighs almost anything else you could find on the tablet. A Tab S9 Ultra without one grades Faulty and prices on the bottom row, not one grade down. Samsung shipped that pen inside the box, so a tablet without it is short a part. Go and get it before you go any further.
Most people call it a trade-in. We call it a Buyback. The carrier version arrives as credit against a plan. Ours arrives as money.
Now the thing people ask us about most on this model: the notch. Look at the top of the screen in landscape and there is a small bite taken out of the display. That is where the two front cameras live, and the Tab S9 Ultra is the only tablet in the S9 family with one. It came like that. It is not a chip, it is not damage, and it does not cost you a single grade.
It is also the fastest way to know what you are holding. No notch means you have the Tab S9 or the Galaxy Tab S9 Plus, both of which put a single front camera in the bezel instead. A notch with two cameras in it means Ultra, and Ultra is worth a lot more, so it is worth the two seconds.
Where the notch does matter to your grade is what surrounds it. Two cameras sit behind that glass, and glass is glass: a chip anywhere near the cut-out is a crack, and a crack is Faulty. So run a fingernail around the edge of the notch, because a chip there catches while a smudge does not. Then open the camera app, switch to the front camera and tap between the normal and the wide selfie view. Two different pictures means both cameras work. One that will not switch, or a view that comes back black, is a part that has stopped working, and that is Faulty too.
WiFi + Cellular tablets pay more than WiFi ones at every grade here, roughly forty dollars at the top. The table below shows WiFi prices for the two capacities we are buying.
Where to sell a Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra is a real question, because a 14.6 inch tablet is awkward enough that plenty of buyers will not touch one. We will, worn or cracked, and the shipping label is free in both directions. Sell your used Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra here and the grade you pick is the grade we honor if the tablet matches it.

HOW IT WORKS
Confirm the notch so you know it is the Ultra, then pick 512GB or 1TB, WiFi or WiFi + Cellular, and the condition that matches the wear you can feel. Do the notch and camera checks first. The S Pen belongs in your hand at this point. Your Buyback price is then locked for 14 days.
We email a prepaid USPS label. Sign out of your Samsung account, sign out of your Google account, take the microSD card out, then erase the tablet. Box it with plenty of padding, because this is a big sheet of glass, and put the S Pen in with it. Keyboard cover and case stay home.
It is checked by hand within 48 hours of reaching us and we tell you what we found. Where it matches, payment leaves that day by gift card, PayPal, bank transfer or check. Every tablet through this building gets a Department of Defense grade wipe, whether we buy it or recycle it.

GALAXY TAB S9 ULTRA BUYBACK QUESTIONS
A 1TB WiFi tablet with the sort of wear you can feel, which is Fair, is $222. Tidy that up to Average and it is $315. A 512GB in Fair condition is $198. Quote yours at the top of the page for the exact figure.
No. The Tab S9 Ultra was built with a cut-out at the top of the display and two front cameras inside it. It looked exactly like that in the shop. Nobody has to declare it, nobody grades down for it, and it is worth saying because sellers do talk themselves into Faulty over it. What does count against you is damage around it, since that area is still glass. Run a fingernail along the edge of the cut-out. A chip catches. A smear does not.
Look at the top of the screen in landscape. A notch with two cameras in it means the Ultra. A plain bezel with one camera means the Galaxy Tab S9 Plus or the standard Tab S9. Size backs it up, 14.6 inches against 12.4, and so does the model number in Settings, About tablet: SM-X910 and SM-X916B are the Ultra. It is worth being right, since the Ultra pays quite a bit more and we grade whatever actually arrives.
That is Faulty. Our Samsung rule is not a list of parts, it is a principle: if something on the tablet has stopped working, the tablet is Faulty, and that covers a camera as much as a speaker or a button. Test it properly before you decide. Open the camera app, switch to the front camera and tap between the standard and the wide selfie view. You should get two visibly different pictures. If one is black, frozen or will not select, quote it as Faulty and the price on the bottom row is what you get paid.
Then the tablet grades Faulty, all the way down, whatever else is right about it. That is the harshest rule we apply to a Galaxy Tab, and it comes from the pen having been in the box rather than sold separately, which makes it part of what we are buying. A replacement is fine as long as it is an S Pen for this tablet and it writes on screen. Look at the magnetic strip on the back first, and inside the keyboard cover if you have one, because that is where they hide.
Yes. Any crack or chip, front, back or camera glass, means Faulty, and Faulty on WiFi is $66 at 512GB or $74 at 1TB. That is a real payment, not a rejection, and it does not change on arrival as long as you told us. Pack a cracked 14.6 inch panel with serious padding, since loose glass in transit helps nobody.
Not on this page today. Samsung sold the Tab S9 Ultra in 256GB, 512GB and 1TB, and our feed is only carrying prices for the larger two at the moment. We would rather say that than let you quote a capacity we cannot honor. If yours is the 256GB, the figures here are a rough guide at best, and it is worth checking back because gaps like this get filled.
It does, and this screen can suffer it, because the Tab S9 Ultra panel is AMOLED. Burn-in is Faulty. The way to see it is a plain white full screen image at high brightness in a dim room, then look along the top for a shadow of the status icons and along the bottom for the navigation bar. On a screen this wide, also check for the outline of a split screen divider down the middle, since a lot of Ultras spend their lives running two apps side by side. A color shift when you tilt it is not burn-in.
No. Samsung tablets carry no battery percentage rule with us, so there is no number to reach and no settings screen to go looking for. The battery only comes into it if it has failed, and a failed part means Faulty, the same as any other part. A three year old Ultra that still runs most of a day is behaving normally.
It does, on every row. A 1TB in Average condition is $349 with cellular against $315 on WiFi, and the gap is wider higher up the table. Cellular models have to pass one extra check, a clean IMEI, since a 5G tablet has one and a WiFi tablet has none at all. Reported lost, stolen or carrier blocked fails there. Carrier locking is not a thing on a Galaxy Tab, so the network never changes the price.
The Samsung account and the Google account, then a factory reset from Settings, General management, Reset. Sign out first, reset after.
An account left signed in locks the tablet the moment we boot it, and then we cannot test it or buy it. The same goes for a Google FRP lock or a tripped Knox counter. Nobody here can clear it for you, so those two minutes at your end matter more than anything else in the box. Our erase your device page has the steps. We run a Department of Defense grade wipe here as well once it lands.
Keep all of it. The Book Cover Keyboard for this tablet is expensive and it is worth nothing in our quote, because accessories are not priced in. Cases, covers and chargers are the same. Sending them adds nothing and risks losing them. The S Pen is the sole exception and it must be in the box.
Heavy wear you can feel with a fingernail, and glass that is still whole. On a 14.6 inch Ultra that usually means scuffed corners, dents along the long aluminum edges and scratches deep enough to catch, all of which come from carrying something this size around. Average is wear you can see but not feel. Good is light wear you would miss at arm's length. Flawless is unmarked. Faulty is any crack or chip, burn-in, a missing S Pen or anything that has stopped working.
Not a sale, but not nothing. Without power we cannot test the tablet and cannot clear your data from it, and we will not buy a device we cannot wipe. Send it in on a free label and we will recycle it for you, destroying the data to Department of Defense standards and disposing of the hardware properly. If you would rather have it back, the return costs you nothing.
Four ways, chosen at checkout. Gift card, which averages about 3 percent more because the brands add a bonus. PayPal, instant, with PayPal's 2.99 percent fee. Bank transfer at 2 to 4 days. Check at 3 to 5. Every one of them goes out the same day your tablet clears inspection, and a sealed Brand New tablet is paid through PayPal only. Anything still on an installment plan or a lease we cannot buy at all, since we do not purchase devices under financial obligations.
Capacity, WiFi or cellular, condition. About a minute, and the number holds for 14 days.
