The expert stated the obvious:before putting up a smartphone for sale, you need to give it a marketable appearance. You should delete your personal data from its memory, as well as wipe the device itself. An alcohol wipe will do. You can reset your phone to factory settings, then the device can start working faster.
“I would also recommend installing a protective glass. This creates the feeling that you handled the device with care. Even if there are small scratches on the screen, the glass will hide them,” Mokeev said.
In addition, to increase the cost of a smartphone will helpadditional accessories and a receipt that remained after its purchase. In general, you should assemble the entire kit from the device that is: box, charger, possibly headphones. “This will add at least 1,000 rubles to the cost,” Mokeev is sure.
“If you need to sell relatively quickly, betthe price is below the market average, if you are not in a hurry - above the average. iPhones are a hot item in the secondary market, they sell very easily, and there are clear price benchmarks on the market. With Android, everything is more complicated - with the order of prices, especially not flagships, the market is a complete mess, people set the price they want. At the same time, with the iPhone, the first hundred calls may be from resellers who will find all kinds of defects and bargain as much as possible, ”the specialist added.
