Mobile Recycling Prices

Hi,

Always use MSE Mobile Recycling checker to see what my old phones are worth.

Was given a price £16 when they received it they claimed screen was damaged [scratched] so only offered £4...

I could have got more than that on ebay

So gave them a call asked for phone to be returned suddenly price goes up to £10

Making that call got me an extra £6

    Against perhaps, twice that on an auction site? (Depending on model). Since a number of these site actually sell on to eBay, it does make sense to cut out the middlemen!

    Had crossed my mind, but I did not have charger and felt it only worth that amount.
