Sell ​​old and broken mobiles: 7 pages to sell a used mobile

Each time the time that elapses between when we have a mobile and we change it for a better one seems to be less. The pace of launching smartphones by brands is dizzying and, in some brands (hello, Xioami), it is even difficult to keep up with everything they show in the same year. The picture is too attractive, especially for the user who likes to try new devices. And the economy, of course, is the first to suffer. If you are one of those who like to change mobile phone every little bit, you will have felt fully identified.

Even so, changing mobile phones every little time may be available to more people thanks to the sale of their own used terminals. Thanks to the pages that we show you below, you will be able to put your terminal up for sale and thus save yourself a good pinch when buying the new one. Below, we have selected for you seven pages through which you can put your old phone up for sale, or even if it is broken. But first, a few tips to help you sell your mobile phone.

Tricks to sell your used mobile

The first thing we have to bear in mind is that to sell a used mobile (that is not broken) it must be in the best condition and take some photos that make the best of the terminal. Before proceeding to take the images, clean the terminal thoroughly, removing the cover if it is present. This advice is especially useful if you are going to put your used mobile in virtual second-hand sales stores such as Wallapop or Thousand Ads.

Before formatting your mobile to put it on sale, we advise you to make a backup copy of it. Imagine that you format the device and then you can't sell it or you regret doing it. Wouldn't it be a pain to have to reconfigure everything from scratch? In the settings of your terminal, in the 'Security' section there is usually the option to create a backup and then upload it to your Google Drive account. When you turn on your formatted mobile and start its initial configuration, in one of the steps you will be asked if you want to recover a backup copy in Google Drive.

Inform your ad of everything that may interest the potential customer. If it is rooted, if it is free or still belongs to a telephone company and, of course, everything related to the hardware and software section of it.

And the last advice we give you is that, even if you look at the pages that we are going to show you here, try to put on your social networks that you sell your used mobile, indicating its status and possibilities. It is always better to do the business deal with someone you know than with a stranger.

These are some of the stores where we advise you to try to sell your used… or broken mobile.

Phone House

This store specialized in mobile telephony not only sells mobile phones but also buys them. In the 'Removil' section of the Phone House page we can place the brand and model of our terminal to see how much they would give us for it. This system also comes in handy in case we want to put a price on our mobile to sell it in applications such as Wallapop or similar. For example, we want to know how much they would give us for the Samsung Galaxy A7 of 2017. We put the model, the state in which the phone is and they indicate that we would be taking about 60 euros from the terminal if it is used; if it only 'works', 30 euros; if it is broken or does not work, the page would give you about 15 euros and if you sell it as new 120 euros.

Zonzoo

We are now going to this new website where we can sell our used mobile phone and we are going to take as a reference, again, the Samsung Galaxy A7 from 2017. On the home screen, the search engine to place the brand, model or IMEI number of our mobile. You can also choose the brand icon to speed up the search. This page only makes two differences between the terminals you buy: if it works or if it does not work. Zonzoo will give you 70 euros for your Samsung Galaxy A7 from 2017 if it works and 17 euros, however, if the terminal cannot be used.

To receive the money you must register the sale on the page, accept the offer and fill in the personal data. Once done, a Nacex messenger will pick up your terminal at your own home. Once the terminal is received, you will receive the money in your bank account. In this link are all the points that your mobile must meet for Zonzoo to deliver the promised money. You must bear in mind that if your mobile does not conform to the offer you indicated and you reject the payment, you must claim the return of the terminal and these expenses are your responsibility.

We bought it

The third stop of the day is a store called 'Locompramos'. The mechanism of the page is very similar to that of Zonzoo: you look for your mobile model, you send it to the page and after a valuation of the company, you will receive your money in your checking account. In the search bar we insert the mobile we want to buy and, on this occasion, the page asks us to give detailed information about our terminal as if it works correctly, if you have the original charger and it works, if the battery does not present any fault and if the terminal is free. Finally, you will have to evaluate the aesthetic appearance of the exterior of your device. Be honest because, anyway, they will see it when they receive it to test it and consider if it deserves the initially agreed amount. Once the questionnaire was completed, we found out how much money they would give us for it.In our case, we have paid an amount of 71.88 euros.

Of course, be careful with this page because the sale process is irreversible and you will have to settle for the estimated price according to the relevant tests. In the fine print of the frequently asked questions, it is advised that once you have sent your device, it will not be returned.

Movilbak

As stated in the header of their website, at Movilbak 'we exchange your mobile for money'. On the presentation screen we place our smartphone and then, as in the previous pages, we are going to put some information about its status. This time we can if it works or if it does not work. In order to be considered to work, among other aspects, the mobile must be working correctly in all its aspects and work with battery and without the need to be connected to the charger. If your phone is unlocked, that is, free from any operator, on this page you will be offered for the Samsung Galaxy A7 from 2017 the amount of 80 euros if it is working and 18 euros if it is broken. If it is not released yet, you must enter your IMEI number so that the page offers you an approximate calculation of how much the payment will be.

Movilbak ensures that in less than seven days from receiving the terminal, you will have the money deposited in your checking account. The collection of the device will be done through a courier at your home.

Moneyandmobiles

Another page to sell mobiles that occupies a prominent position in Google search engines is 'Dineroymoviles'. The good thing about this page is that, although it pays significantly less than the previous ones, it ensures that your money will be in your bank account in just three days. Following the trend of the previous pages, in this they will give us for the Samsung Galaxy A7 an amount of 21 euros if it is working (30 if the page considers that it is in a 'pre-owned' state) and 2 euros if it is broken. The collection method is the same as on the previous pages, a courier will come to your home to collect it for free if the sale price of the mobile exceeds 15 euros.

Moviloff

On this website we have entered the data of the mobile we want to buy, the same brand and model as in previous examples, and an amount of 42 euros appears. This amount will be given to you if the phone works properly. If, on the contrary, your mobile phone does not work and you want to sell it through this page, you will be paid the amount of five euros. Once you fill in the free collection form for your terminal, the company will submit it to different tests to verify that it works. If, once the tests have been carried out, the Moviloff team considers that it does not conform to what the client said, the client will assume the costs of collecting and returning them. If after a month the user has ignored the terminal, it will be sent to the recycling plant or fixed and put on sale again.
