Best place to sell a phone

BIGWEB · 1 Jul 2011 at 14:48

I have just had my phone replaced by my insurance company with a reconditioned model.

I bought a galaxy S2 a while ago so have no need for the old phone.

I don't wish to turn this into a for sale thread but would like to know of any good forums to sell on. Something like here but who actually allow us to sell phones.

I know everyone is going to say eBay but I just hate the site for selling on.

Any help appreciated

I've used Mazuma, was very surprised at how much they pay out and was easy to do

Although I said I didn't want to sell on eBay. The recycling sites are offering about £70 less than what they are going for on eBay.

I sold two iPhones last week to www.dough-dough.co.uk they were offering the best prices out of all the phone recycling places. £315 for a 32gb 3gs and a 16gb 3gs. I thought they might try and haggle the price or offer less but they didn't it all went really smoothly and got the full amount quoted.

Another option is CEX http://uk.webuy.com/phones/

From the examples given, they offer the better prices, but they can be a bit of a pain to deal with and you have take into consideration the following:

1 - you have to take it their stores, if there's one in your area.

2 - They will try and find the slightest problem to reduce the amount they pay out.

3 - You will have to wait 2+ hours and thats if there's the staff available to check you phone.

4 - You need ID for cash, bit of a bummer if you forget! (As i did)

5 - Can use as trade in to get a better deal.

6 - More cash!

I have had people on ebay pay stupid money for old phones of mine. I had an HTC touch diamond which was the worst phone I have ever had and had horrible reviews that went for about £200 when it was a year old!
