How many smartphones have you piled up at the bottom of your desk drawer? Three, four, five, six? Rather than letting them collect dust, why not try to resell them. If they work and in addition they are in good condition you can have them recycled by specialized companies and earn a few tens or even hundreds of euros..
Used smartphones
The market for refurbishing and reselling used smartphones is booming. Besides the traditional classified ads sites, we have seen the appearance for several years of companies specializing in buying second-hand phones . Commercial brands and mobile operators are also getting started.
Fnac has also launched its own recycling program for electronic equipment (console, computers, tablets and of course smartphones) called Fnac Reprise . The principle is also extremely simple. Users must go to the service counter of one of the brand's stores with their old device and all of its accessories..
A technician will then test the product and see if it works properly. Once the diagnosis has been made, we will make you a takeover proposal . If you accept it, you will immediately receive the corresponding sum in the form of gift cards valid throughout the store, excluding Fnac voyages and fnac.com.
Please note this service is reserved only for adults. During your visit to the after-sales service, you will be asked to provide a valid identity card or passport. Finally, last important point, only products in working condition are taken back..
Resell your smartphone without moving
If, by chance, you have an old mobile in your closet and you want to get rid of it, know that it is now possible to sell it without even moving. Indeed there are many websites on the net that offer a remunerated recovery of your old laptop.
To do this, simply connect to one of these platforms, select its phone model and define its operating state (like new, functional, non-functional). At the end of the estimate, a redemption price is then offered to you.
Then simply send your phone by parcel to the address provided by the site. The latter will then pass a check to verify if the condition of your device is in accordance with your declaration. Payment will then be made by check or bank transfer within 5 to 7 days.
Please note that some buyout sites do not hesitate to negotiate the lowest possible price. To be sure of finding the best buy-back offer , you can get help from a price comparator for the return of electronic products.
- Open your web browser
- Type the following address in the URL field: http://www.comparecycle.com/
- In the search engine enter the brand and name of your model
- Select your exact model (storage capacity) from the list of results
- Click on I recycle
Now we just have to compare the different offers on offer (price, method of payment, type of assistance, etc.). As you can see the redemption price may be significantly different from one site to another.
Once you have made your choice, all you have to do is send your old smartphone by post and wait patiently for the bank transfer. Finally very important detail, do not forget to delete all personal data from your phone before you part with it. To be sure not to leave any trace, I advise you to refer to this tutorial: how to permanently delete your personal data.
