I recently purchased a new phone, which proved to be one of the larger purchases I’ve made this year (even larger than a round-trip flight to Europe).
Now that I have an old, still-functioning phone hanging around, I’ve been looking into to selling it — you know, to alleviate some of the pain I felt swiping my credit card.
I’ve read a lot about a buy back site called Decluttr, so I started there.
The big appeal with Decluttr is the company sends you a free box, you stash your old phone in it and ship it off for free.
Then, you get paid. It means you don’t have wait around for a buyer to bite.
Plus, Decluttr has a deal going on now where I can get an additional 10% back by entering PENNY10 at checkout.
But will it actually give me the most money? I decided to poke around the internet.
Of 8 Buyback Sites, This Company Offered the Most 80% of the Time
I started by pricing my phone, but then I was interested in looking into other makes and models as well.
For the sake of consistency, I noted all of these devices were in “good” or “fair” conditions, depending on how the sites defined the term.
Each time, I said my phone was registered with AT&T, though it seems like you’ll get a little more back if it falls into the “factory unlocked” category. You might also get a few extra dollars if you have the original packaging or charger.
Note: I can’t guarantee your estimates will be the same as these. It’ll depend on the day and the site’s demand, as well as your phone’s condition.
All right. Here’s what I found:

So… Where Will You Get the Most Money For Your Used Phone?
For my iPhone 6, it looks like I can get the most from Decluttr — especially with that additional 10% back.
Plus, like I mentioned, I don’t have to pay for packaging or shipping. And I’ll get paid the day after Decluttr receives my package.
If you want to give Decluttr a try, go ahead and snag that additional 10% back bonus.
Then, let us know how much money you got back!
