Trading old phone for cash
Are there any shops around where I can go in to trade my phone for cash straight away rather than posting it to a place and waiting for a cheque?

I brought a Wii Xmas 2006 for £180. Used it 5 times, sat under the TV collecting dust. May 2007 CEX gave me £173 for it! Not bad eh? |

I know its not a shop but if CEX give you a crap price or try to rip you off like they have a nasty habit of doing, try www.envirofone.com i use that site when CEX won't give me a good price or they have no cash in store.

I signed up for Mazuma but didn't like the fact that they check the IMEI's before approving the trade and you can send it off meaning longer waiting times. Enviro check the IMEI after it has arrived at their warehouse and i dont mean that in a law breaking way i mean it as it just takes longer.
Cheque within a week of them receiving the phone? Cannae grumble at that... @ Hitman, no you cannot bargain. The work from a price matrix which is also online. Have a look online before you go in store, that will give you guaranteed values. As DMX has said however, sometimes they run out of cash, like my bank really ha! |

Always a good idea to keep at least one unlocked phone as a spare. Just in case your current one goes bust or gets damaged.

That is a good idea, the 2 i traded in at CEX yesterday were not unlocked but i might pop in there and get a cheap one as backup.
