Got an old phone sat in your kitchen drawer? Whether it’s from your last upgrade or before time, selling it could give you a sweet little boost of cash in your back pocket. But how much is it really worth? Let’s break it down, so you can figure out just how much dollar you might get for your ancient tech.
Oh, yes they are! We all love hanging onto old things for some strange “just in case” reason, but let’s face it – if it’s sat there gathering dust and you’ve not looked at it in the last few months, you’re probably missing out on some serious dough. Your phone doesn’t even need to be in out of the box condition to make you some cash. There’s still a market for crack, smashed or even dented.
Honestly, not all phones are created equal. If you’re sitting on an ancient brick, don’t expect a fortune. But if you’ve got a shiny old iPhone or Samsung Galaxy then you’re in luck. These phones tend to hold their value better over time. Even some old-school phones like the original iPhone or Samsung Galaxy S1 can get some interest in the tech world.
The price of your old phone depends on a few things, but here’s the rundown:
Skip the hassle of selling privately and getting ghosted. Selling to a company like us her at PhoneBox makes it easy. No haggling, no weird buyer encounters, no risk of being scammed. Just pack up your phone, send it to us, and BOSH! – money straight in your account.
