Anyone have experience of selling an old phone? 13:36 - Jan 18 with 956 views | ITFCson | My old phone - iPhone XR is now surplus to requirements. 64B. It is only 18 months old and perfect working condition, it does however have a couple of light cracks on the screen and a chip in the corner. Any ideas please on the approx value and where best to sell? Thanks | | | | |

Avoid posting it - it’s an absolute nightmare if the person doesn’t receive it. Use Gumtree for instance to list & compare prices of other similar phones. Meet in a public place, don’t use your address. And as Bluebeat says, remember to factory reset the bloody thing & remove SIM card. [Post edited 18 Jan 2021 15:00]

Be careful of people wanting you to post it, paying you money from one account then asking you to return monies so they can pay you from another account. | | | |

I'd be tempted to sell privately next time. | | | |

Price wise depending if it's locked to a network or not... I'd say put it up for about £240 and see what happens. For an easy life, quick money in the bank look at somebody like Music Magpie. | |

I'd never sell a phone on ebay, there's a well known scam whereby the buyer says it's a fake, ebay makes you refund them and they return the phone, except of course it's not the phone, it's a fake. Just not worth the potential hassle imo. Edit: Sounds like I'm aggressively shooting you down there, I didn't mean to, just wanted to mention the potential pitfalls of an ebay sale.

Yes, Joe was saying the same on here a couple of weeks or so ago. Happened to someone he knows I'm sure he said. Solid warning there. | |

You'd get more on MusicMagpie than your pricing suggestions (depending if it's unlocked and if not to which network it is locked). The market seems quite volatile on the XR so I would be inclined to send it to a recycling company for ease. | |
