If you want to get rid of your old cell phone, always try to sell it to people you can actually meet and don’t have to mail it to, regardless of how good the offer is. “We buy cell phones for good cash” ads might catch your eye on sites like Craigslist, but it’s almost a guarantee that, if you have to send your phone to a company 25 states away, you’ll never get any money.
How to avoid: don’t believe these companies’ testimonials unless you can check the client in detail.
