How to sell your smartphone?

First, remember that you have to own your phone in order to sell it.

You may find that your phone isn't actually yours.

Once you know your phone is yours to sell, the process is simple.

Most trade-in sites ask you some questions about your item's condition and then quote you a price.

The service will evaluate your phone and send your payment.

But while the selling part is easy, finding the right site to sell on can take a bit of work.

Many of these sales sites will lock in a price for a period of time, as long as your item matches up to your description.
