On the Internet
Selling your mobile can be a great method to gain easy cash, of course providing the phone is not broken. If it is the case, you will not get any money for it and may as well throw it in the bin.
There are multiple ways to sell your phone on the Internet as there are hundreds of sites where you can send your phone away and then, you will get cash for it. Many of these sites will give you money, not a huge amount granted, but more than nothing, which is a bonus. With these selling sites, the best way to go about, is to check around with multiple websites to get the best offer. Some of these sites include:
- Mazuma Mobile
- Envirofone
This can allow you to find some good deals which can help you, especially with expensive smartphones, to save up for a new phone. Moreover, some phone companies buy their phones back like the Vodafone Buy Back scheme which can give you money for your phone. This is definitely more advisable as it is a very reputable company which would not put on stake its reputation by treating you badly.
Though, of course, you must be careful with phony sites that take the phones and then tell you the amount that you will be paid because these will be a scam. Before sending off your phone, you must check the terms of service.
Off the Internet
Selling your mobile can be stressful on the Internet, which is why sometimes, mobile for cash is great. Cash in hand is better rather than waiting a long time for the post to come through. However, these methods can be fraught with danger as the prime method is using a pawnbroker, as you do not have to buy it back. The best way to go about this method is to do your research and check what amount other second-hand shops are selling your phone for, then you can have a good bartering price. It also helps if your phone is in good condition. The reason why this method is ill-advised is that you are bound to get less money on the street than on the Internet. It is not recommended to use any particular pawnbroker as many are local. Final word To conclude, selling on the Internet is simpler and more effective. However, the prices may be better than pawnbrokers, but you have to barter. How you sell your phone is down the person and the facilities available.
