depends on phone model.

a search on buy my phones sites shows a curve 9320 will get you from £5 to £51 trade in for working model, so basically that is the true value of this model

Yay, earthstorm's back!

Since when is trade-in value the same as true value? Especially the trade-in value on these websites?

OP, agree with many others, the amount you'd get back would be hardly worth it.

Not sure how you stand with play.com anyway, as they are a completely different set up to how they were in 2009.

even going to high street stores like ramsdens, these are the average prices you will get. considering a blackberry curve 9320 is a old model and new will only cost you £100 to £130 , so if you get £51 for a 3 yr phone then i would say is a good price. but the price will depend on the actual model.

But what i quoted is an example of the cost depreciation on mobile phones.

even if you purchased a new Blackberry Q10 and then took it to ramsdens you would immediately lose 30 to 40% of its value even if you have not used it.

I am not aware that working out the value of an item is based on what you can get for it at a Pawnbrokers.. The point of these places is to buy well below market value and then to sell at a big profit.

The last blackberry with a trackball was the bold 9000 introduced in 2009.

New they now retail for ~£105.

So factor in a "usage depreciation" and the amount might not be worth it.
