Difference in mobile recycling prices revealed

The importance of comparing mobile phone recycling companies and seeking out the best deal when selling an old mobile phone is growing all the time. And thanks to the sheer amount of competition in the market at the moment, it really pays to check up on the top offers available.
This is highlighted in a new report from What Mobile, which shows that some handset owners could lose out on hundreds of pounds if they simply go with the first quote from the first recycling firm that they encounter.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it is Apple handsets which sit at the top of the tree both in terms of resale price and the discrepancy between the highest and lowest offers that are currently available.
For example, an iPhone 6 with 128GB of onboard storage was found to have an upper limit offer price of just over £315 from one company, while the lowest offer reported was just £80. This means that the gap between the two is equivalent to £235, which is a lot of money to miss out on when a customer is intending to reinvest this amount back into their next mobile purchase.
In fact, many hundreds of new mobile models cost £235 or less. And this could be equivalent to more than a year’s worth of payments on a pay monthly contract deal with a network provider.
Reputable recycling companies will endeavour to give you a competitive offer for your old phone when you choose to sell it, although there are also other variables to consider, such as how payment will be provided and whether or not there are guarantees that the quoted price will be stuck to in the long term.
Comparing values when selling an old mobile phone online will put consumers in the driving seat and let them control the destiny of their handset.
