ARE YOU GETTING THE BEST PRICE FOR YOUR OLD PHONE?

by Craig Timmins



On Friday afternoon, I went mobile phone shopping with a friend. He was looking for SIM-free phone with QWERTY keyboard. After walking him around and showing him all of the different types of smartphones on offer, he decided on a Nokia C6-00. It isn’t a “bells and whistles” special, but for him it was the perfect choice.
While he was paying for it, the salesman mentioned that we could bring in our old mobiles and get cash back from the purchase just made. Being the recycle mobile phone queen that I am, I immediately asked a few questions. The results were as anticipated and it confirmed that which I always knew – if you don’t go through a comparison site like sellmymobile.com, there is a good chance you’re missing out on a better deal.
When you visit a recycle site to check how much your phone is worth, you are operating under the assumption that recycle prices live in the same ballpark. But that isn’t always true; sometimes, recycle prices don’t even exist on the same planet.
For instance, the vender above offered £5.40 for an old Nokia 6288, but when I checked through sellmymobile.com, I saw that I could get £13.70 elsewhere. Repeating that step three times with three phones, each time I found a better offer through sellmymobile.com.
So next time you decide to check how much your phone is worth, remember that not all sites are equal. Come here and compare before you commit; it’s the only way to be sure you’re getting the best offer.
