Are Your Old Cell Phones and Tablets Worth Money?

If you are like most mobile device owners, you have a small, or large, collection of old cell phones and tablets around your home. With new technology constantly changing, many people upgrade to the hottest new model of phone or tablet every one or two years. While your old smartphones and tablets may not be worth much to you, they can still be worth money. 

Due to the high cost of buying a new phone, many people are looking to repair their existing phone or buy a newly refurbished model. This means that old cell phone you tossed into the closet or shoved into a desk drawer could be worth money to cell phone repair or refurbishing companies. Why let those old devices take up room in your home when you can sell them for some extra cash? 

Top Used Mobile Devices to Sell

In most cases, almost any smartphone is worth some amount of money at many cell phone repair companies that buy old mobile devices. However, there are some that are worth more than others due to their popularity and usefulness. Some of the higher valued old phones and tablets include: 

  • iPhone
  • iPad
  • Samsung Galaxy
  • Samsung Galaxy Note 

The good news is that they don’t have to be in excellent condition to fetch a decent price. Even devices that are damaged or don’t even work anymore can still be worth money. One person’s trash is another person’s treasure, especially if it is an iPad that has been refurbished to its former glory. 

If you have old cell phones or tablets lying around your home, don’t wait for them to lose their value. Call your local cell phone repair store to see if they buy old mobile devices and get some extra cash for responsibly recycling them.
