Selling a Used AC in Gurgaon: Cashify vs Scrap Kabadi vs SuperSavvy vs OLX, Compared on Net Cash After Uninstallation (2026)

TL;DR: To sell an AC for the most cash, sell a working unit privately and a dead one for its metal. In Gurgaon, most OLX listings for working 3–5-year-old 1.5-ton splits ask ₹14,500–₹20,000. Cashify's highest published split-AC ceiling is ₹9,770–₹9,980 before any doorstep re-grade. Scrap Kabadi publishes ₹6,000 for a 1.5-ton copper-coil split in any condition. If the buyer doesn't include uninstallation, take ₹800–₹1,400 off the quote.

Key takeaways

• Work out net cash as the quote, minus any doorstep cut, minus any uninstallation you pay for. Compare channels on that number, not on the headline quote.
• A dead 1.5-ton copper-coil split has a published scrap price of ₹6,000 at Scrap Kabadi, against ₹3,800 for aluminium. Check the coil type before you accept any app quote.
• Working 3–5-year-old 1.5-ton splits list on Gurgaon OLX at ₹14,500–₹20,000. That is well above Cashify's highest published split ceiling of ₹9,980, so a private sale is worth the effort for a unit that works.
• Scrap Kabadi and SuperSavvy advertise free uninstallation. Cashify's AC page doesn't mention it, so get it confirmed in writing before you book.
• An exchange offer gives you credit, not cash, and the old unit is re-checked when the new one is delivered. Only use it if you're buying new anyway, and have a competing written offer ready on delivery day.

When you sell an AC, the quote is not what you take home. Subtract the price cut at your door and any uninstallation you pay for, and a dead copper-coil split often fetches about as much from a scrap buyer as from an app. A working unit almost always fetches more from a private buyer. This page is for Gurgaon households with a split or window AC to get rid of, usually with a Cashify quote or an exchange offer already on screen. We compare Cashify, Scrap Kabadi, SuperSavvy, OLX and exchange offers using only the figures each channel publishes, and we judge Eazzy's role by the same standard. Figures were checked in November 2026. Treat each one as a ceiling, because every buyer sets the final price after inspection.

What your old AC is actually worth on each channel (1T, 1.5T, 2T, 3T)

Only one channel publishes a full price table by tonnage: Scrap Kabadi, which prices scrap by coil metal. The others publish brand-level ceilings, asking prices or nothing at all. Where a platform publishes no figure, the table says so.

Net cash by tonnage

Net cash is the published figure minus any uninstallation you pay for. The table below applies Eazzy's 2025 estimate of ₹800–₹1,400 for a standard split removal wherever a channel doesn't advertise free removal. It does not count a doorstep re-grade, because no channel publishes one, so treat every cell as a best case.

*Cashify publishes brand ceilings, not tonnage prices, so the same ceiling appears in every column. Your actual quote depends on the tonnage and condition you enter. Two patterns stand out. At 3 tons, a dead copper-coil unit's ₹8,900 scrap floor is within about ₹1,000 of the most Cashify publishes for any split, a ceiling that isn't tied to tonnage. At 1.5 tons, a working unit sold on OLX clears that ceiling by about ₹3,100 or more even after you pay for removal. An outdoor unit on the second floor or higher adds ₹300–₹600 to any removal you pay for.

1.5-ton side by side, and three caveats

The figure below sets the 1.5-ton numbers side by side, since 1.5 tons is the size most Gurgaon bedrooms run. The right-hand column lists what to check on each channel before you count the money.

Three caveats apply to the figures in the first table. First, Scrap Kabadi contradicts itself: its calculator gives ₹6,000 for a 1.5-ton copper split, while its Gurugram scrap-price page gives an indicative ₹3,500–₹6,500. Second, Cashify's ceilings move. The landing page shows LG Split at ₹9,770, but the LG Split page shows ₹9,980. Third, OLX figures are what sellers ask, not what buyers pay.

Window ACs

Window units are worth less on resale. Scrap Kabadi's resale page gives ₹4,000–₹7,000 for a 1-ton window, ₹5,000–₹8,500 for 1.5 tons and ₹6,000–₹10,000 for 2 tons. Cashify's generic Window AC tile reads 'get upto' ₹8,820. That puts a working window AC much closer to the app ceiling than a working split, which makes Cashify more competitive for window units.

Why Cashify is the default, and the complaint that sends AC sellers elsewhere

Cashify is the fastest way to get a number and a guaranteed buyer almost anywhere in India. Its most consistently documented complaint is that the price at your door comes in lower than the price on your screen.

What Cashify does well

Its AC page promises AI-based pricing, "no fees for pickup across 1500 cities across India" and instant payment "at time of pick up". It publishes brand ceilings you can check in a minute: Samsung Split ₹9,660, Voltas Split ₹8,770, Hitachi Split ₹8,720 and Daikin Split ₹8,510. No other channel here combines that reach with a buyer who will reliably turn up.

The documented pickup-day cut

Trustpilot's AI summary for cashify.in, based on 151 recent reviews, says many customers reported "initial online price quotes provided on the website were drastically lowered when pickup agents arrived." One reviewer, Ashish Tripathi (12 December 2025), wrote: "They advertise one price on their website but pay a lower amount when they come for pickup." An August 2026 Inventiva analysis found reviews "repeatedly describe reductions of 30 to 50 per cent or more".

Most of these complaints are about phones, not ACs. The mechanism still carries over, because Cashify's AC flow uses the same online quote followed by an inspection at pickup. An AC also gives an inspector more to grade: a scratched front panel, weak cooling, a missing remote.

The AC-specific gap: uninstallation

Cashify's AC page doesn't say whether uninstallation is included, or whether it costs extra. A split AC can't be handed over until a technician pumps the refrigerant back into the outdoor unit and caps the pipes. Ask Cashify to confirm in writing before you book. If you have to arrange removal yourself, take that cost off the quote. To see how price-lock models avoid the doorstep cut, read our guide to Cashify alternatives that lock the price before pickup.

Stay with Cashify if…

Cashify is the right call when convenience matters more than the last few thousand rupees and its quote clears your scrap floor. In these situations, switching costs you more than it earns:

• The AC works, is a common brand, and you won't deal with private buyers. OLX pays more but brings calls, home visits and payment-fraud risk.
• The AC is already off the wall. If you uninstalled it during a move or renovation, the fact that Cashify's AC page doesn't mention uninstallation no longer matters.
• You live outside the NCR areas that Scrap Kabadi and SuperSavvy serve. Cashify claims pickup across 1,500 cities.
• It's a window AC. Cashify's window ceilings (₹8,820 generic, ₹9,240–₹9,450 for LG) sit close to or above Scrap Kabadi's published window resale range.
• Its quote beats both your scrap floor and a second quote. Screenshot it. If the doorstep figure drops below the scrap figure for your tonnage and coil type, refuse the sale.

Our fridge-selling guide covers the general quote-protection routine: photograph the unit, confirm the final number before anything is moved, and say no if it drops. The same rules apply to an AC.

Scrap Kabadi: best for a dead or old copper-coil AC

If your AC is dead or more than 10 years old, its metal sets the price. Scrap Kabadi is the only channel here that publishes that price by tonnage and coil type before you contact them.

Best for

Non-working splits, units with a failed compressor, and old R22 machines that nobody on OLX wants.

Pricing and advantage over Cashify

Its AC calculator lists ₹6,000 for a 1.5-ton copper split and ₹8,900 for 3 tons, in "Any" condition, with "Same-day free pickup" and payment by cash, UPI or bank transfer at your door. Gurugram is named in its coverage. The rate depends on tonnage and coil, which an inspector can't re-grade, so there is less room for a doorstep cut than with a condition-graded quote. Its resale page also advertises free uninstallation and inspection for working units.

Weaknesses

• The calculator (₹6,000) and the Gurugram scrap page (₹3,500–₹6,500 for 1.5 tons) disagree.
• All inverter ACs carry a stated ₹999 deduction, but its inverter table lists ₹4,701 for a 1.5-ton copper unit, which is ₹1,299 below the standard rate. Ask which figure applies.
• Aluminium coils earn ₹2,200 less at 1.5 tons.
• The price is confirmed over WhatsApp after you submit details, and the site's copy focuses on Noida and Ghaziabad rather than Gurgaon.

Migration friction

Find out your coil type before you ask for a quote. Share your GPS location and photos. Agree the rate before anything is loaded, and ask how the refrigerant will be recovered. A buyer who can't explain gas recovery is a red flag.

SuperSavvy: best when you want uninstallation and payment handled in one visit

SuperSavvy suits the owner of a working AC who doesn't want to book a technician separately. It advertises uninstallation, pickup and payment in a single visit.

Best for

Working or dead units in Delhi NCR, where the seller wants one appointment and the money in hand before the AC leaves.

Pricing and advantage over Cashify

SuperSavvy publishes no rupee figures. You enter your mobile number and the quote arrives on WhatsApp. Its advantage is the process it describes. Its Delhi page promises "100% free uninstallation" and pickup "across all of Delhi and NCR", and its Noida page says you receive payment "before our team leaves your premises". Unlike Cashify's AC page, it says plainly who removes the AC. These are the company's own claims.

Weaknesses

• You can't compare its price from the outside.
• Its pages promise "an exact price for your AC online in 60 seconds", but also say "Final value after inspection". So the risk of a doorstep re-grade remains.
• Its contact page says service is "currently available in Mumbai, Thane, and select Delhi areas", which is narrower than the NCR-wide claim. Confirm that it covers your Gurgaon sector before you plan around it.

Migration friction

Have the nameplate details ready. SuperSavvy's own value guide asks for brand and model, type and tonnage, star rating and year, refrigerant (R22, R32 or R410A), any known faults, and whether the remote and outdoor unit are present.

OLX (private sale): best for a working, recent split AC

For a working split AC under about five years old, a private buyer pays the most. In Gurgaon, asking prices for 3–5-year-old 1.5-ton units run roughly ₹4,500–₹12,000 above any app ceiling.

Best for

Working inverter or 5-star splits with a clean service history, owned by someone who can handle a few calls from buyers.

Pricing and advantage over Cashify

Recent Gurgaon listings include a 3-year-old Whirlpool 1.5-ton at ₹14,500, a 3-year-old Samsung 1.5-ton at ₹17,000, a 5-year-old Carrier 3-star at ₹18,000 and a 2019 Daikin 5-star inverter at ₹22,000. An older LG listed as "working" asks only ₹7,700, so age matters as much as brand. No platform re-grades your unit at the door. A buyer can haggle, but you can refuse and keep the AC.

Worked example (illustrative)

Say a 3-year-old 1.5-ton split is listed at ₹17,000 and sells for ₹15,000 after negotiation. Take off ₹800–₹1,400 for a technician to uninstall it, and you net about ₹13,600–₹14,200. That is still around ₹4,000 above Cashify's highest published split ceiling, even before any doorstep cut.

Weaknesses

An asking price isn't a sale price, many listings come from dealers, and some buyers will want you to deliver or reinstall the unit. Payment fraud is the main risk. Follow the payment checks in our guide to selling an iPhone safely.

Migration friction

Settle who pays for uninstallation before you agree a price. If you pay, use a technician who pumps the refrigerant down and caps the pipes. Our AC uninstallation guide covers each step and what to check before the technician leaves.

Brand or marketplace exchange: best only when you're buying new anyway

An exchange offer turns your old AC into a discount on a new one. It suits a buyer who wants the old unit gone on delivery day. It is a poor deal for anyone trying to get the most cash.

Best for, and the advantage

Someone already ordering a new AC online who would rather not arrange a separate pickup. The old unit leaves with the delivery team, and its value comes off the new purchase at checkout, so there is no second buyer to find or schedule.

Weaknesses

It's credit, not cash. Amazon's exchange help page states that the delivery associate checks the old product against your stated details, and if they don't match, "the delivery of your new product will be suspended and your order may be cancelled." The clearest AC-specific complaint we found is a Reddit r/Flipkart post from 28 April 2026. A working Voltas 1.5-ton, roughly 10 years old, was shown at ₹7,500. On delivery day the technicians offered ₹3,500 because it was "old and not serviced". The seller pushed back, said scrap buyers were offering more and pointed to an offline store's offer of about ₹6,000. After that, the technicians agreed to ₹6,000. Even the settled figure was ₹1,500 below the exchange value shown, and the seller got there only because a competing number was ready.

Migration friction

Get a written scrap or resale quote before the delivery slot, so you have a number to cite if the value drops at the door. Keep the remote and the copper pipe, because the technicians in that case asked for both. Find out who uninstalls the old unit before the delivery slot. A 2024 TechnoFino thread shows the experience varies: one buyer had a free uninstallation by a Flipkart contractor, while others were told to arrange their own.

Eazzy: where it fits, with the same scrutiny

For most AC sellers, Eazzy fits at the uninstallation step. It is not where you get the highest price. If you sell on OLX, or to any buyer who won't remove the unit, you need a technician who recovers the refrigerant properly.

Best for

Gurgaon sellers who have found a private buyer and need the split AC safely pumped down, disconnected and capped. It also suits people moving house who want the AC uninstalled and reinstalled at the new address.

What it offers

Eazzy's Gurgaon locality pages list AC uninstallation and reinstallation by verified technicians. You see the service charge before work begins, jobs are confirmed with OTP verification, and you can track them in the app. Eazzy also runs a general Buyback service: you list an item, choose a pickup slot, and an executive collects it from your door and assesses it there. Check in the app whether ACs are accepted for Buyback in your sector before you count on it.

Weaknesses

Eazzy publishes no uninstallation rate card, so you can't compare it with a local technician's price until you book. It hasn't confirmed that Buyback takes ACs, and it publishes no Buyback rate card or payout terms, so you can't set it against Scrap Kabadi's table or Cashify's ceilings. Service is limited to Gurgaon. On price alone, a working AC will usually fetch more on OLX, and a dead copper-coil unit has a published floor at Scrap Kabadi.

Migration friction

Low for uninstallation: book a slot in the app and line it up with your buyer's pickup time. If you try Buyback for any item, the doorstep assessment sets the figure, so apply the same rule as everywhere else and agree the number before anything is moved.

Hidden costs that change the ranking

Uninstallation is the biggest hidden cost when you sell an AC, and it can wipe out the gap between two quotes. The coil type and inverter deductions come next.

The costs to subtract

The first five rows are Eazzy's 2025 estimates from our uninstallation guide. Actual quotes vary by building and floor. Missing parts cost you too. Scrap Kabadi's resale page says a remote, copper kit, stand and invoice "can add ₹500–₹2,000". Cashify's own blog on 5-year-old ACs lists "older refrigerant types that are slowly being phased out" and a missing remote among the things that lower the price.

Nameplate check: which channel pays most for your AC

Four facts decide your best channel: whether the AC works, its age, whether it's an inverter, and its coil metal and refrigerant. The rating sticker on the outdoor unit usually shows the refrigerant (R22, R32 or R410A) and the cooling capacity. The invoice gives the purchase year and the full model number, and the model name often says whether it's an inverter. Coil material is rarely printed on the sticker, so check the brand's product page or manual for that model, or ask a technician.

If the AC has a fault, check whether it's worth fixing before you sell. Our AC repair-or-replace guide shows how many suspected compressor failures turn out to be cheap capacitor faults.

Complaint-to-channel map and comparison table

Start with the problem you're trying to avoid. Each one points to a channel:

• "My quote got cut at the door." Scrap Kabadi, whose price depends on tonnage and coil rather than a condition grade, or SuperSavvy, which says it pays before the AC leaves.
• "I don't want to pay for uninstallation." Scrap Kabadi or SuperSavvy, both of which advertise it as free. Confirm that it applies to your sector.
• "I want the most money for a working unit." OLX.
• "I'm buying a new AC anyway." Exchange, accepting that the value is credit, gets checked at delivery, and may need a competing offer to hold.
• "I'm outside NCR" or "it's a window AC." Cashify.

Conclusion

Our recommendation: spend 20 minutes collecting three numbers before you commit. Get your scrap floor from Scrap Kabadi's table for your tonnage and coil type, one app quote from Cashify or SuperSavvy, and two or three Gurgaon OLX listings of the same tonnage and age. If the AC works and the OLX figures beat the app quote by more than the uninstallation cost, list it privately and book a technician to pump it down. If it's dead, sell it for its metal and agree the rate before loading. Whichever channel you choose, screenshot the quote and refuse any doorstep figure that falls below your scrap floor.

Frequently asked questions

Can I sell my AC on Cashify even if it's not working?

Yes. Cashify's AC page asks you to choose your AC's condition during the quote, and the final price depends on that condition. A dead unit is valued mostly on its metal, so check Scrap Kabadi's published rates first: ₹6,000 for a 1.5-ton copper-coil split or ₹3,800 for aluminium. If Cashify's doorstep offer comes in below that, sell for scrap instead.

What is the scrap value of a 1.5 ton split AC in Gurgaon?

Scrap Kabadi's AC calculator lists ₹6,000 for a 1.5-ton copper-coil split and ₹3,800 for an aluminium one, in any condition. Inverter units have a deduction. Its Gurugram scrap-price page gives a wider indicative range of ₹3,500–₹6,500 per 1.5-ton split, so confirm on WhatsApp which figure applies and agree the rate before the unit is loaded.

Who pays for AC uninstallation when I sell it?

It depends on the buyer. Scrap Kabadi and SuperSavvy advertise free uninstallation. Cashify's AC page doesn't say whether it is included, so ask before you book. On an OLX sale, you or the buyer arrange it. Expect roughly ₹800–₹1,400 for a standard split, plus ₹300–₹600 if the outdoor unit sits above the first floor.

Is a copper or aluminium coil AC worth more when selling?

Copper is worth more. At the same tonnage, Scrap Kabadi's published table pays ₹1,500–₹2,600 more for a copper-coil split: ₹4,500 against ₹3,000 at 1 ton, ₹6,000 against ₹3,800 at 1.5 tons, and ₹8,900 against ₹6,300 at 3 tons. Check the brand's product page, the manual or ask a technician before you take a quote, because the coil type sets your scrap floor.

Is an AC exchange offer on Flipkart or Amazon better than selling?

Only if you're buying a new AC anyway and want the old one gone on delivery day. Amazon's help page says the old product is checked at delivery and the order may be cancelled if the details don't match. In April 2026, a Reddit user reported a Flipkart exchange value of ₹7,500 cut to ₹3,500 at the door. It went back up to ₹6,000 only after the seller cited a ₹6,000 offline offer.

What documents do I need to sell an old AC?

For an app buyback, have the purchase invoice and a photo ID (Aadhaar, PAN or voter ID) ready, plus the warranty card if you have one. Cashify's AC buyback guide lists these and says a missing bill can slow the sale down. For a private sale, a bill and service records help you hold your asking price.
