Trade in that Old iPhone for Money

The biggest question after upgrading or purchasing a new device: is what to do with the old one? Many people are accustomed to throwing away their old phones or storing them in their junk drawers. But there’s plenty more options out there (and ones that can bring in some money to boot).

There are a multitude of re-commerce sites dedicated to purchasing and selling certified pre-owned consumer electronics. These sites provide customers with the option to turn old electronics into cold hard cash or exchange them for newer models. Some of the best are Gazelle, Decluttr, and Trademore. They stand apart from the crowd because they are dedicated to providing people with a fast and simple process to turn their old and unused electronics into money with a few simple clicks. Whether someone has several backup iPhones, broken laptops, or a damaged tablet, these marketplaces will make offers for these devices.

Where to Sell Old iPhones

Sites like Gazelle, Decluttr, and Trademore provide a fast, easy, and reliable way to get rid of old electronic devices. Considering how valuable iPhones are, even after their depreciation, it’s possible to get a good offer. Below are some places to sell old phones, types of phones accepted, and estimates for how much people can get for them.

Clearly, it’s possible to receive a good amount of cash for a device that would otherwise catch dust or wind up in a landfill.

What also makes some re-Commerce sites great is that—in addition to simplicity—they are highly reliable and care deeply about customer needs. Many services let people opt out (up to a certain point), so they can get their devices back.

Why Not Make a Little Money?

It’s possible to recycle responsibly and make money doing it! Certain re-sellers really go the extra mile when it comes to eco-responsibility. If they cannot find a device a new home for certain reasons, they recycle it responsibly through an R2-certified facility. This will ensure that the chemicals in the phone will not pour out into the environment. Why is this important? Well, if phones aren’t properly recycled, then they can quite easily end up in water and food supplies.

So, those who recently upgraded or purchased a new phone need to know: it’s possible to recycle/re-sell old devices! Minimize personal carbon footprints. Make money. Win-win.
