Money for your old mobile

08-01-2010 02:38 PM

I have upgraded to the iPhone 4 which means I have my old iPhone 3g (8gb) sitting redundant on my desk collecting cobwebs.

I've seen several mobile recycling sites which will offer around £140 for it

BUT... my screen is a bit scratched and there is a bit of a crack at the bottom so I reckon it will probably be valued at the 'non working' price which is £60

Has anyone had any experience of these sites or recommend the best one / a better option?

Any ideas would be grea.t

Cheers PHIL

Drooler/Frugaller had suggested a couple of sites in this thread:

iPhone V4 Coming very soon

Think his was the 16GB

Ah coolio. Sorry, did a quick search but didn't read the end of that thread.
Will wait and see how the boss got on and might follow suit. Although they are still making good money to t'bay.

Sorry, I should have created a separate thread on the cash in.

But basically Mazuma were spot on. Did the transaction online. They send a mailing bag (I received the next day) and fired off overnight. Received the cash 2 days later. Faultless.

Big thumbs up from me.

Have ordered an Envirophone envelope and package. £141 Full working price. Mazuma were offering £127.

Envirophone say "Remember: If you are not happy with the offer price we give you, let us know within 5 days of receiving the offer price and we will return your mobile phone free of charge."

So if they come in around the £120 mark I will give them a whirl.

Phil, we've reported our lost iPhone to the police. Doubt it will turn up though.

If perchance they offer you much less than £120, let me know and might make you an offer.

Well, I sent it off to Envirophone. I qualified for their 'Collect +' service which meant it was couriered from my local shop free of charge (and insured).

Got an email back from them today, as it had a crack in the back they couldn't offer me the full £141 but offered me £126.90!

ACCEPT!

Just waiting for the money to be transfered now.

Also got £1 cashback too which is a bonus.
