Where to sell a brand new LG Cookie?

I want to sell a brand new LG Cookie (box is sealed). I had a look at those websites from MSE that buy mobiles, but the maximum price I got was £48.

Any suggestions where else I can try and sell it (other than eBay and Amazon)?

    Cash Converters.....but my local one has a max payout of £40 on mobiles!

    market stall......probably give you less!

    ask friends, family or work collegue if they want to buy it?

    Ebay is probably your best bet.

  • Thanks for your replies.

    AceRider, trading the mobile for something else might be interesting. Do you know which shops will accept old phones as part payment?

    I wouldn't mind having a netbook, but the cheapest ones like Asus Eee Pc 701 only have a 2h battery time and that can be a problem. I would use it mostly for writing stuff in Word. It would be useful to have internet connection, but I'm not too sure I want to pay extra for that, anti-virus, etc because I have that on my home computer.

    I think though don't hold me to this lol, I think places like Carphone Warehouse, Phones4U etc used to do this. Where as you could trade your phone for £x and use that as part payment for something else - in your case the netbook.

    Your best bet it go to your local Carphone Warehouse/Phones4U/etc etc store and ask them.. Or just email them :)

    If its unlocked you can get £86 from CEX for trade in on anything they sell. If not unlocked it varies on network but from about £70-£80.
