Title: Websites that buy phones - your experiences GOOD AND BAD please
Post by: The Doc on 15 October 2011, 11:35
Hi all,

I just bought a 4S and I've given Mrs doc my old 4, this leaves us with two 3GS phones, looking online they seem to be worth around £120 (ISH) which makes me happy as I thought they would be worth circa 10p.....


So I'm thinging of using Mazuma @ £113 per unit - thoughts please?

They are safe enough. Just take some photos/videos of them working, switching on and off, and how they were packaged just in case. I did this with one of my old phones and had no problems. Plenty of bubblewrap and they leave you alone.

Remember to factory reset them both before you send them.

I used fonebank when I sold mine, they offered the best prices at the time and didn't want the chargers or any of the original accessories.. The others seemed to want everything to get the best price..

When I rang O2 to terminate the rolling contract, they offered £120 for a 32GB 3GS. Seems like the others are offering only £5 more.

As long as it switches on and off and not overly scratched Mazuma are happy,you keep your SD card,charger and other things that came with it they only want the phone.

Ive used Envirophone before when upgraded from a 3G to a 4 and they were very simple and easy to use. From the sounds of it they are all pretty good and hassle free, just depends what price you can get.

Ive Used Mazuma on a few occasions now and had no problem, but if they are in GOOD condition it might be worth taking them into your local CEX as I have found that they can pay more on occasion, but they really look at the condition of the phone closely.

I used Tesco Mobile recycling a few months ago. Got a reasonable price for an old Samsung non-smart phone.
I have used another service but can't remember which one. I've also had some success selling on ebay in the past, but these days ebay is flooded with phones and technology from big trade sellers, so it pushes your sale price down.

Plus the fact that they charge a bomb for using ebay these days!!!

Don't think it was Mazuma it was some other small time company that was fleecing people by saying it was too scratched / damaged and offered a lower amount. I'd be very surprised if it were Mazuma, they run a tight ship and are fair, if their fast payment system is down it's almost the end of the world for the finance department  :grin:
