    Decent trade in value on Pixel 8 pro against the 9 in the Google store now. Pixel Buds pro 2 thrown in if you get the xl

    They're giving 646 for a pixel 8 against the 9 Pro.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 672 ✭✭✭fm


    732 trade in for the 8 pro so potentially 487 for the XL 128gb and the buds



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 472 ✭✭Dozz


    Tempting and you could sell the buds on.....

    Those trade in deals on the Google Store are very good

    Has anyone done the trade in with Google themselves?. I have an S23 Ultra and fancy going back to a pixel phone but have a couple dings on the frame, a corner here and there mostly. Will they absolutely crucify me on the price?

    Samsung trade in wise only ever care if the phone turns on and the screen is in good nick so hoping for the same!

    See post 112 above confirming full trade-in price received from Google. Google outsource the trade-ins to a company called PCS Wireless.

    I bought the P9 Pro XL a couple of nights back after being offered a €433 trade-in for my P7 (bought it in Sep 23 for €519). Will report back when they payout, but expecting full offer price as phone is in good condition.

    Bought an XL on launch,wonder would they entertain me asking for the free buds now 😁

    Just received the XL & Buds 2. Delivered in 27 hours with DHL via:

    Netherlands → Belgium → Germany → Ireland → 3 counties → Home

    Thats some speed.

    I hope there's no problem sending trade-in back due to battery in old phone.

    Thanks

    I'm the same, I emailed them with my order number from the google store about it anyway !! worth a go



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,429 ✭✭✭.G.


    Yeah I will be doing the same. No harm in asking as you say!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 988 ✭✭✭Kenny Powers


    How long did it take in the end to get your money? Still with here.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,315 ✭✭✭✭2smiggy


    got this in reply

    Thank you for your prompt response.

    I have reached out to our Senior Specialist for assistance, and they have informed me that the Pixel 9 Pro XL you purchased earlier came with a promotion that cannot be combined with other offers, such as the Pixel 9 Pro XL that comes with free Pixel Buds Pro 2. I have also checked on my end, and the standard return period has already expired, so we cannot process a return at this time.

    I appreciate your patience and understanding.

    Stay safe,

    I did ask if there was anything extra they could give, as I did trade in a pixel pro 8 for a fairly shite price. I am waiting for a reply

    A few things to note:

    • IMPORTANT - Before factory resetting phone - ensure all Google Accounts are removed. Also ensure all PINs / Screen lock patterns / Fingerprints & Facial recognition are deleted before factory reset.
    • Peeps on Reddit recommend doing a double factory reset to be safe (to check there is no PIN set on the phone).
    • Take photos & a video of phone to (i) confirm condition of phone and (ii) show phone resetting to Factory condition.

    There are a few horror stories on Reddit (like this and this) about trade-ins gone wrong with Google & and their partner PCS Wireless.

    The reddit stories are worth a read, but balance it out by the fact people tend to only post there to complain. Its quite probable that majority of people (like me) have had a faultless experience.

    Just follow the advice above to protect yourself if you decide its worth a chance.

    my whining did get me a £70 code to use in the google store, so better than nothing



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,184 ✭✭✭micks_address


    not really a pixel 9 topic but just a comment on dbrand. I got their 'Ghost' case last year for the pixel pro 7. It was supposed to never 'yellow' or fall apart and it seems like it did for many.. mine scratched up a lot and probably got a bit yellow but nothing mental.. was pleasantly surprised to see them offer a completely free version 2 of the case to version 1 owners. Placed my order today for a Ghost version 2 for my pixel 9 pro. Interesting to see what it looks like.. probably be xmas before it turns up..

    Thanks I knew it was out just wasn't sure if people had received it yet. Will hopefully get it in the next few days.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,914 ✭✭✭lertsnim


    Does it not show up if you check for an update? It did on my 8 Pro anyway.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,429 ✭✭✭.G.


    Yeah they told me I could return mine and reorder if I wished. Can't be arsed with that.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,175 ✭✭✭Explosive_Cornflake


    I traded in a pixel 6 pro for a 9 pro xl. I got offered 0 for it today and the p6p is being returned to me.

    I'm going to return the pixel 9 pro, it's not worth it to me now without the trade in value.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,574 ✭✭✭TheGunns


    Did they explain why 0?

    Sent mine back today so hoping for the best

    I think I figured it out but I'll know when I get it back. I didn't remove the screen protector I had which was one of the glued Whitestone dome ones. it takes a few minutes to remove rather than a few seconds
