So I’m getting tired of being the only person with a lightning cable… and considering upgrading my phone.
While I haven’t decided between android and iphone, my older phone is still perfectly valid (iphone 14 pro max 1tb).
Any ideas on where to sell it? Or any phone sellers that do buybacks at sensible prices? It’s pretty pristine (always been in a case), and I still have the box… somewhere…
Not a fan of ricardo…
if you find a way of selling it properly, please kindly share. I tried in the most usual forums, and it is just 100% scoundrels targeting these transactions…
Donate it to Africa
You can trade it in with Apple I think, not sure how much you’d get though.
Swisscom offers somewhat better deal than Apple. Not sure of conditions - if it has to be used for a Swisscom product or device…
I grew up in Africa, and know all too well how not-for-profits operate.
My best friend’s father growing up worked for a famous children’s charity based in Austria. They had (paid by the company), a tax-free salary paid in a Swiss account. 2 maids. 2 watchmen. A gardener and 2 drivers. House with a pool. Local “expenses account” to cover every expense locally like food, restaurants, hotel entry, golf club fees, etc. Monthly CO mail suitcase coming from Europe where he could order (Expensed of course) anything not available locally. My friend had literally every single nintendo game released that month (collection of THOUSANDS of cartridges) paid for by the company. This wasn’t an isolated case… most kids of the charities and non-profits there went to the American school (30-50k / year USD in a country where the local salary barely exceeded 60USD/month on average)
My family wasn’t that well off. We bought most of our clothes from a store that imported bulk clothes from Europe (by the ton, in bales). These would then be washed and resold locally. The people who worked for this (relatively large) not-for-profit were also living substantially better off that most of us in Switzerland now.
So excuse me for being cynical, but I would rather send some money every month to the people I grew up with (as I do). Currently paying for the schooling & clothing of a friend of mine’s children. Yes, western union takes a big cut. Yes, I probably send more than they use for the school fees… but at least, I know it’s going to necessities, and not to paying for a luxury lifestyle of the workers of the non-profit.
EDIT: Don’t for a minute imagine that this isn’t still the case. Head over to sub-Saharan Africa (or the expat forums in those countries). Have a look at who visits the golf clubs, has a chaffeur driving their g-wagon, and 1-2 maids full time…
(rant over - sorry, nothing personal against you 
It’s great that people try to help - it’s just touching a nerve - sorry again)
Apple doesn’t pay too much.
Depending on where you live, you can try Ricardo and insist on in-person transfer of ownership.
Or try verkaufen.ch.
