What's the best way to sell my iPhone 3G in the UK? [closed]

The lowest hassle way is probably via one of these "phone recycling" sites. eg:

  • Mazuma Mobile (offering £172 or £189.20 in Argos vouchers currently)
  • Envirophone (offering £160 currently)
  • FoneBank (offering £161 currently)

It might not be the best deal on offer, but it's easy. I sold an old (though much cheaper) handset via Mazuma recently with no problems.


I sold mine on eBay and it was quite a hassle. Before I managed the final sale the iPhone was won twice by bogus bidders.

And not only do you have to pay eBay fees (listing + 10% of final sale price) but you'll probably have to pay paypal fees as well. After these fees I made about £190. Caveat venditor.

If you can get similar from one of the recyclers then I'd recommend. I've used both Mazuma and Envirofone before with no issues.
