Good Electronics Trade-In?

StuMcBill

I currently have an Asus EEE Pad Transformer Prime Android Tablet, which I am thinking about selling / trading in so I can grab a new Nexus 7 Tablet when they are released.

I looked on Carphone Warehouse trade-in and they were offering £120, which frankly is ridiculous!!

I was wondering if anyone knew of any companies who would do a Trade-In service?

I was thinking about eBay-ing it, but there doesn't seem to be much interest in them?

Anyone have any ideas?

The thing about secondhand consumer appliances is that their value drops massively as soon as you open the box.

The reason why trade-in values are so low is that the buyer has to cater for a range of conditions from "mint" to "a bit banged about but I reckon it's mint".

Your guide to the max price you are likely to get for it is the typical price on eBay.

Have to say that if I had a 10" Asus Transformer I wouldn't want to chop it in for a 7" Nexus...

Yeah I figured that!

The reason I want the Nexus is because it will get software updates directly from Google (like my Galaxy Nexus) instead of waiting for Asus to update!

And what advantage do you think that will give you? It won't make apps work any differently.
