Hello World! Welcome Friends! When it comes time to trade up to the newest iPhone or Android on the market, most of us don’t think about selling our old phones. For most, those unwanted but perfectly functional electronic devices go into a junk drawer to be forgotten until an old picture or video is needed. In some cases, your kids will take the old phone and use it to play games on your family’s wifi, or take pictures and videos until it can no longer hold any more data. What if you could turn that old cell phone into fast cash and also help the environment at the same time? You could definitely call that a win-win situation. When it comes to selling your phone online, there are some definite benefits you should be aware of.
Make Some Extra Money
This is the most common reason for someone to sell their old phone. When you are looking for a marketplace to sell it, sites like Craigslist and eBay are excellent platforms that will give you everything you need to put your device on the market and accept bids and messages from interested buyers. There are also sites like Amazon and Apple which will offer you a credit or gift card in exchange for your used electronics which can be used to buy anything on their sites.
You may ask yourself “how much time and effort does it take to sell my phone online?” The answer would be “it depends”. If you decide to sell your phone on your own, then you will need to find a suitable marketplace, take photos of the phone to post, add an accurate description including any damage or marks, and then do some research on a proper price for your item. This is all before you even get in touch with a prospective buyer.
With companies like Gizmogo, you can bypass all the extra work and send your phone straight to their professionals who will assess the item and give you a fair estimate. The shipping is free as they will send you a waybill to attach to your box. The estimate is good for 15 days and if you decide you don’t want to accept, they will ship you back your phone free of charge. If you do accept the offer, the money will be in your account usually within 24 hours. They will also wipe the phone clean of any personal information or sensitive data so you don’t need to worry about the safety of your finances.
Declutter Your Living Space
Another great reason to sell your phone is it will help you declutter. Purging yourself of all the unnecessary electronics will help clear your mind and set your sights on the future, like the new iPhone coming out on the market.
Help the Environment
One of the most important reasons to sell your phone is to ensure it doesn’t end up in a landfill but is reused and passed on. When electronics end up in landfills, they leech toxic chemicals into the ground which can permeate the groundwater necessary for the wildlife and those who get water from wells in the area. Selling your electronic devices to a company like Gizmogo will ensure your device will end up being recycled or reused and not part of the eWaste problem.
These are just a few reasons why it is a good idea to sell your phone rather than throw it out. There are many more, but all roads lead to you recycling your electronic devices safely and responsibly. With companies like Gizmogo, it can be effortless and hassle-free.
