iPhone 13 Upgrade/Selling strategy?

Not Irish/EU stock. Not imported to Ireland through official channels and could affect your warranty if needed.

I’ve used CEX several times for old stuff you’d never sell on done deal and I usually buy a charger in deals and hand it in… never had an issue. Just a thought if they push you?

Yeah totally get that. I always said CEX and the likes was a rip off but as you said, they’re guaranteed to buy it and it’s usually turned round in less than 24 hours in fairness. You could be arsing around with Adverts for a few weeks… but everyone to their own. Certainly for the most recent phones I sold them I would probably never have sold them on done deal or adverts and at least I got a few handy quid rather than them sitting in a drawer for another few years.

For the newer phones though you do get stung big time on the price - still get more than the Apple program etc.

its a bit of a lose lose situation really... if you want to maximize the return from a private sale then you'd need to have sold your phone in the last week or so and then have a 'stop gap' until you can buy whatever iteration of the next phone you want.. adverts does seem to have gone crazy with iphones.. especially shops selling new or nearly new... few iphone 12 pro max up there for just over 800 euro new. i think unless you really have to change you are far better off waiting a second year. You can probably get 500 for a iphone 12 p max this time next year and you'd have another years usage out of it
