For many reasons, upgrading your phone seems like a necessity; the draws of extended battery life, a more weightless feel and extra features are alluring, as are the repeated offers from your phone carrier to upgrade. Basically, at one point or another, we all upgrade our phones, turning our old phone into nothing more than an expensive alarm clock.
So what should you do with your old phone once you have no use for it? Consider using the three beautifully designed sites below to sell your phone. They are safe, secure and easy to use so anyone can sell their phone safely and profitably.
Glyde
The layout for Glyde is easy and accessible, with two large links at the top that denote whether you want to buy or sell. When clicking on sell, you are brought to a colorful page where images of the most popular phones are available, including Apple iPhone, Samsung, HTC, BlackBerry, Dell, LG, Motorola, Nokia, etc. Simply select your phone’s brand and click the drop-down ‘Select a model’ menu.
From here, Glyde asks you three questions: What network do you have? What is the capacity of your phone? What color is your phone? These three questions will enable Glyde to find the best price possible for you based on your phone’s specific model and specifications. With this information, Glyde will list your phone.
Once your phone is purchased, Glyde will email and send you a Glyde shipping kit, which is easy to use since it comes with a pre-paid label. Once the buyer receives your phone, your consequent cash is deposited into your Glyde account, where you can transfer your earnings to your existing bank account, Bitcoin address or receive a paper check.
