Can I sell a locked iPad in South Carolina?
It depends on the lock. Carrier-locked devices are bought. Activation Lock (iCloud) and MDM locks must be cleared first, because an iPad still tied to an account or an organization cannot be reset for its next owner. We never unlock devices for anyone except the owner.

iPad specifics
What to know before you sell a locked iPad in South Carolina
South Carolina has a statewide electronics recycling law, so many old computers and screens can be dropped off free or cheaply. Putting covered electronics such as computers and monitors in the household trash is banned in South Carolina; selling a working iPad sidesteps the question entirely. A working iPad is worth far more resold than scrapped, and reuse is the greener choice. Either way, keep its battery out of South Carolina household waste.
- School iPads must be released by the district from Apple School Manager and MDM.
- iCloud-locked iPads are refused until the owner removes them from Find My.
- Cellular iPads carry an IMEI that is checked for carrier blocks.

How long does shipping take from South Carolina?
Most South Carolina packages arrive within a few business days on the prepaid ground label, and testing happens within 1 to 2 business days of arrival. The label reaches your inbox minutes after you accept, and tracking shows when the Apple device is delivered. Pad the Apple device on every side in a sturdy box; we email you the moment it arrives.
How do I remove Activation Lock before I sell my iPad?

Yes. Choose the carrier in the quote. The device must be free of lost or stolen reports, which we check before sending a label.
