Do you have a mobile phone gathering dust in your drawer? Sell your phone to Cash Converters to get immediate cash. Customers will often ask us “how much can they get” for their phone, and although we can supply an estimated cost via an online or a telephonic chat,  our buyers need to assess the phone in person before making an official offer.

Their offer depends on various factors such as:

• Model
• Age
• Condition

Here are tips to help you get the best deal.

1. Clean your phone

We all know that cash is king, and, in this instance, cleanliness is also king. Whether you’re selling your phone to one of our stores nationwide or an online buyer, the item in question needs to look as close to new as possible. Wipe the phone, the case and any accessories (charger and earphones) with a damp cloth to remove any excess dust or dirt.

2. Ensure your phone is in good condition

At Cash Converters, we love to buy phones that range from good to mint condition. So, if you want to sell a phone that has a cracked screen but still works, you might want to consider fixing it before you sell in order to get more bucks in your wallet. While phones with cracked screens still have some value, keep in mind that the cracked screen puts the phone under pressure just from everyday use.

3. Factory rest

Before you sell your phone, you need to back your information up and return it to factory settings. Not only will this protect your identity and private information, you’ll also keep all your photos and other data for when you’re ready to move over to a new device. If you sell your phone at Cash Converters, our specialist team of technologists will wipe the phone on your behalf as part of the POPI Act requirements.

4. Chose a reputable buyer

Selling items online through platforms such as Facebook Marketplace has become a huge trend, and some may argue that it’s the better option to negotiate the price you want. However, there is uncertainty and possible adverse consequences associated with selling to an unknown buyer. It’s better to sell your phone to Cash Converters – it’s safe and secure and you get the cash immediately in hand or loaded on our Cashies™ card.

Selling your phone isn’t as complicated as it sounds especially if you keep these tips top of mind. Visit a store near you today. Click here to find a store.
