The smart way to buy a used phone online

Phones are becoming more and more expensive, and there isn’t always a need to buy the newest phone available. Buying a used phone can be a great way to upgrade and save a lot of money at the same time. In this episode of Workflow, Becca shows us how she shops for used phones and what sites to use for a great deal.

Is your phone older than mine? – Becca

The video was all about how to get value for money phone until you decide to sell your existing phone for $10 🤣

I don't understand why selling a used phone for 10 bucks is smart.

Sent from my S7

[starfoxconfessor]

Good video, but $10 for your S7? You can do way better than that. Trading in for $10 isn’t great advice.

[umersalman]

Even a banged up s7 edge is atleast 100 $. Also, why isnt this a complete video? Where is the product which u got for 514 dollars?? Like wtf!

[Thermophobe]

the verge is at it again! you can like repurpose your old phone to do stuff like make your tv smart (with otg to hdmi cable) or whatever. 10 bucks for it is just bs. might as well donate it to some poor guy.

But $10 for an S7? Isn't that a bit too low?

[ZainProductionsinc]

Don't need something that came out yesterday, buy s9 instead

[LostMySauce]

People are literally selling masses of used phones on swappa. Why not just sell the S7 on there for a logistical used price?

[LucasHouben]

You got a pretty good deal on the S9 but you completely screwed up with the S7. Could have easily sold it for $100 on eBay instead of throwing it out for $10.

hey thanks for sharing unrealistic pricing on used phones...

[WycliffStudios]

Never trade in your devices on these websites. you'll get max $10- $50 for it. Sell it instead and buy an used phone separately.

there is more money on that table than my net worth

"I want a new phone"




*has 8 phones on the table*

[minandychoi]

Literally learnt nothing new I hadn’t known

[mendellalvarado]

My only concern with used phones is the battery. After only a year, battery longevity takes a noticeable hit. Instead of a used current device, I'd suggest last year's model, but brand new. Great video, btw!

[astridpaulinasanchezcantu]

What I’ve done for a while is follow a cycle and stick to it, this is that cycle: buy the latest iPhone use it til it brakes or doesn’t get any software upgrades and then buy the latest iPhone, right now I have the iPhone 6 and I’ve never had an iPhone for this long (almost 5 years), I think that’s a pretty great way of doing but I dunno. Unless I find a great deal on a newer phone I’m not going to change this baby until it’s lasts breath

It's my first time watching a verge video and I love this lady !

Swappa is great. Highly recommended but as a seller prepare to spend $30 give or take for paypal fee, swappa fee and shipping fee. I still like because its the safest place to buy and sell
