Got a new Samsung Galaxy S3 (amazing, btw) a couple of months ago and decided to flog the old handset.

Best quote was Envirofone at £53.

Sent the phone and a couple of days later got an email saying due to a damaged battery cover they would only pay £31.

I knew there was no damage when i sent it other than the usual scuffs a handset gets over two years use so i refused the offer and had the phone returned.

Once back in my possesion, hey presto, no damage.

I have since sent the handset to Mazuma who within hours of receiving it, posted me a cheque for £50. Suck on that Envirophone. Having searched online, it seems this is a regular thing with Envirophone.

The funny thing is, that i actually sent 2 handsets to envirofone in that first instance as i had an older phone i had kept as backup to a nokia smartphone, which was crap so i reverted to the older phone.

Envirophone offered £7 for it and paid in full despite there being damage to the battery cover!

Moral of the tale, for me at least is dont necessarily go with the highest quote.

Why not sell the phone private like ebay?
