There is no trade-in for Apple TV boxes through Apple.

There is no transfer from older models (3rd generation or earlier) to newer models (4th generation or later).

Identify your Apple TV model - Apple Support


With the modern models (4th generation or later), users may use the One Home Screen feature to sync the setup through iCloud. You will need to be in possession of both devices at the same time. Activate One Home Screen on the previous unit, then set up the new one, and choose to sync when that option is asked for during setup.

Users are advised to reset the previous unit before selling or giving away or disposing of it. Reset or restore your Apple TV to its factory settings - Apple Support
