Selling old phone for cash

alexlyons

Just wondering if any one has used any sites such as envirofone etc to sell an old phone? I have a 16GB iPhone 3G and would like to get a bit of money for it before getting an iPhone 4 (I'm aware of the issues). Envirofone says they'll give me €184 or there abouts for it! One friend definitely said he had used a similar website, can't remember which one though and it was legit.

Thoughts would be great!

I second http://www.adverts.ie you will get more money selling the phone yourself

Thanks folks. Environfone are offering €185 for it. It has a very minor crack down by the home button and wonder would that count as normal wear and tear... I doubt it some how I seriously doubt though, that anyone would pay that amount on adverts for a very obviously used iPhone 3G, it was loved once upon a time, but slowly it started getting a bit scratched etc... It is fully factory unlocked however, bought from italy!

Have a look on there and might give you an idea before you decide

That crack will knock at least 30% (probably more) off the price envirofone will pay.

It would knock at least 25% off what M4URM pays

M4ym paid me in about 5 days.

Environfone... have been discussed at quite some length around here.


Adverts... i ran into nothing buy tyrekickers and lowballers. You mileage may vary.

Slow to pay, claiming phones that were sent in perfect working order are damaged, signing for packages with multiple phones in them, then claiming all but one phone was missing.

I have used envirofone many times and always got my money fast.
