It has now expanded the scheme in the UK to include smartphones, games consoles and home security cameras.
For example, a one-year-old Google Pixel 4a in good condition is worth just £49, £300 less than you probably paid for it. If the phone is damaged or the screen is cracked, then it’s worth a measly £12.36.
A wide range of phones from various manufacturers is accepted, and you can also send in an Xbox, PlayStation or Nintendo Switch. Again, though, you won’t get much.
A well-looked-after Switch is worth just £65, as is an Xbox One 500GB. You’ll get £46 for your PS3 80GB and £63 for a 500GB PS4.
However, you’d be much better off making the effort to sell it privately on ebay, even if your phone is damaged.
