Here’s Why You Should Be Selling Your Used iPhone Online
It seems like these days, there’s a new smartphone on the market every five minutes or so. If you’re like us, you like to keep up with the latest trends. That means you’ll be switching out your smartphone pretty much every time a new one comes out. But what do you do with all the old ones? Just give them away to friends or family? Throw them in a kitchen drawer where they’ll collect dust until you’re forced to clean it out when you move? Those don’t really sound like the most appealing choices. The best option is to sell your iPhone online. It’s quick, it’s easy, and it gets you the most bang for your buck! That means fewer friends fighting over who gets your latest hand me down phone, less clutter in your kitchen, and more cash to buy new phones with. Sounds like a pretty sweet deal, right?
So how do you make this happen? It’s actually pretty easy, as BuybackBoss is set up specifically for you to sell your used iPhone. Although the details may vary from site to site, the basic process is pretty similar. Here is what you can expect:
Get a Quote
First, see how much they’ll make it worth your while. We will give you a free quote and it shouldn’t take more than a minute to get the info. Just enter your phone’s model, provider, storage, and condition, and the site will provide a quote for how much they’ll pay for it. Now, you might be wondering what ballpark range this quote might fall in. Well lucky for you, we have some sample pricing available right here. If your phone is used but in good condition, you can expect prices similar to the following:
16G iPhone 5: $65
32G iPhone 5: $65
16G iPhone 5S: $97
32G iPhone 5S: $110
16G iPhone 6: $210
16G iPhone 6S: $280
32G iPhone 6S: $290
These are just a few examples of prices you might get! The pricing may vary based on your service provider and the time of year you sell (pricing can depend on what we have in stock at the time). You can sell pretty much any used iPhone on our site, starting with the iPhone 4S and ranging to the iPhone 7.
Ship Your Phone
Once you agree to sell your old iPhone to a company, our company will provide you with information on how to ship us your phone. Once you know what to do, simply print a shipping label, box up your phone, and let the post office take care of the rest.
It is generally recommended that you clear the data from your phone before you ship it off to sell it. That’s mostly for your protection! You don’t want to be sending all your deepest darkest text message history to a total stranger. If for any reason your device is too damaged to perform a factory reset on, you can log on to your iCloud account from any computer, and select the device, and clear it from there (this is also a handy trick if your phone ever gets lost or stolen!)
Enjoy the Extra Cash!
Once Buyback Boss receives your phone, they’ll send you the money they quoted you for (as long as you gave them accurate info!). You can expect to receive this payment pretty quickly. The payment method may vary from company to company, but most will offer a check, PayPal transaction, or other similar option. You can choose our payment method during your initial checkout process, so you’ll know what to expect by the time it rolls around.
If you have further questions about any specific steps, or need additional details, these sites typically have support staff on hand that can answer any questions you may come up with. So if you’re not sure how to tell what condition your phone is in (what’s the difference between damaged and broken?), don’t know how to get a shipping label, or anything else relevant to the process, you can reach out and they’ll walk you through it.
And then you’re all done! It’s a pretty quick and easy way to take care of getting some extra cash. And who doesn’t love that? Even if you’re not looking to purchase a new smartphone with the extra money, you can use it to treat yourself to dinner and a movie, get ahead on your student loan payments, or even start a savings account! The process is pretty straightforward, and some sites offer extra cool features such as the ability to track your device and the progress of your order, so that you know where you stand every step of the way. So what are you waiting for? Open up that kitchen drawer full of old phones (yes, we know you have one) and start seeing how much you can sell an iPhone for!
