Do you have a few old cell phones that you have not used in a long time and have no plans of using? Most people just let them be as they do not know how to dispose them off. These old phones can be sold to the websites that buy old cell phones. However, there are some requirements that need to be met before they buy them from you. The cell phones need to be in perfect condition in order to sell them for the full amount they offer. They should not be damaged or show too many signs of aging. Cell phones with dents, scratches, cracks etc. will not pay very well. If the goods are not in working condition, the value will be much lesser. These websites will also not buy a non-SIM card phone if it was stolen or has an unpaid balance or even if it is reported lost, since it is not possible to reactivate such phones. Attempting to sell stolen phones can be treated as an offense by some of the websites and a complaint may be launched. So, if you happen to be in custody of a stolen phone, do not attempt to sell it. You may not want to sell your phones for the less amount offered by these websites, but the fact of the matter is that no matter how many thousands of dollars you spent on buying it, with so many new models brought out every day, old ones hold no market value. It is better to get something out of that old phone rather than throwing it in “junk.” Most of these people look for the ESN sticker that should be behind the battery. This number is important to reactivate non-SIM card phones. Similarly, the moisture indicator has to be in place in order not to be rejected. Also, do not forget to send a charger along with the phone as this is considered to be a part of the cell phone. Do not forget to remove all your personal data from the phone, including pictures and other information. It is more for your privacy than anything else. As long as you take care of these issues, there should be no problem of rejection. You do not have to send anything else. They pay about 30 days after the receipt of the phone. If your phone is rejected, there are some companies that do not send it back while others send it back by charging you shipping costs. |
