Do Mobile Phone Recycling Websites Offer Good Value?

Monday, January 24th, 2011 at 4:04 pm

Recent reports suggest that not all mobile phone recycling websites are offering good value.

Usually the best way to find out who will give the best price when it comes to selling an old phone is to visit a mobile phone recycling cashback price comparison website.  Nevertheless, the recycling company’s reputation then comes into play and it is best to check out reviews of their performance.

Some consumers have sent in their phones only to discover they have been “lost in the post”.  Others have found that the mobile phone recycler lowers the price originally offered because of finding a “fault” in the phone.  To minimise things going wrong, sellers should send in their old handsets using recorded or special delivery post.  They should also remember that they don’t have to accept any reduced price offered and have the right to ask the recycler to return their phone.

Some believe they can avoid potential hassle and get a better price by advertising on e-Bay.  However, some sellers have experienced problems with non-payment and time-wasters.  The other thing to remember is that not all mobile phone recycling price comparison sites are the same.  Some users have found that after they have clicked on a price, when they have gone through to the recycler’s website the price displayed is lower.
