Recycling mobile phones warning
I'm trying to recycle my iphone 11. Its in excellent condition, always kept in a case with a screen protector, not a scratch on it and in full working order. I used the comparison site 'compareandrecycle.co.uk, which were fine. The top offer was from 'WeBuyAnyPhone', offering £245 for 'good' quality. The posting process was fine, but took a full week until they told me they had received it. Later that day I had a message to say there was an issue, basically they said my phone was not 'good' it was 'average', and the offer dropped to £90. I did not take the offer. My question is, before I try another site, do they all do this?
