Berlin (dpa/tmn) – Advertising a used smartphone yourself and handling the sale can be very time-consuming. It’s easier with a buyback portal: those interested in selling provide the necessary information, often send the device free of charge after confirmation and receive their money shortly afterwards.
However, sellers should pay attention to a few things, writes the telecommunications portal «Teltarif.de». On the one hand, the information provided about the device should be as objective and honest as possible. The final buyback value is only determined when the buyer has the device in hand.
Which provider pays the most?
The comparison is worthwhile for sellers. Comparison portals can give a first impression; “Teltarif.de” names “recyclingmonster.de”, “werzahltmehr.de”, “bonavendi.de” or “handyverkauf.net”.
Then check with the specific provider and possibly keep an eye on the prices over a certain period of time. Because these can change every day. For example, if there is a new release, old models quickly lose value.
Depending on the provider, individual conditions differ, such as the payout period or the return of devices that have not been purchased. “Teltarif.de” lists a few points for the buyback portals “duverkaufst.de”, “zoxs.de”, “rebuy.de” and “Wirkaufens.de”.
Avoid black sheep
Also do your own research. There are sometimes customer reports that a device supposedly did not arrive and the price was not refunded, that it was downgraded extremely due to alleged defects, or that the money took a long time to arrive.
Once you have made your decision and are shipping your device, you should first have deleted all personal data on it or reset the device to its factory state. Some buyback portals offer this service, but usually for a fee. Also tip: Thorough cleaning of the device increases its market value.
