Tried selling my iPhone 7 Plus 128GB
Still got AppleCare+ till 1st week on Nov 2018.

Quoted by Ah Beng shop at $500.
Than when he checked , he slowly minus this and that cause of some paint chip etc.

Another shop still dare to quote $330 with whole full package somemore.

Brightstar quoted me $500

That's the online quote which is the best price they can give you. Need to see the final quote from them. If still the same, then really worth sending to Brightstar. No need to meet lowballer. Haha.

Precisely Bro

No need to go through QC Check for value deduction by those Ah Beng.

Since Brightstar allow wear and tear and only need to surrender phone without those charger/earpiece/cable/adapter.

Booked a quotation on Tues (16/10) and they collect it today at my office (18/10).

They bring along envelope with bubble pad inside and sealed in front of me.

For Apple Watch it is even better because you get to keep the strap.

[bbbbbw]

This what I do
When I got my XS I quickly transferred data to it from my 7
Then I advertised my 7 on Carousell
I checked Carousell to get an idea of how much people selling
I only sell $40-$50 above what dealers are offering for 7
Which happens to be among the lowest in Carousell
And it was quickly sold by the week

The iPad spoilt? I think they will give reason if the quote is revised.

Did you key in the IMEI number? I believe 6S should be eligible since not too long ago, I tried for iPhone 6+ and managed to get a quote.

 

[metamofia89]

Just a friendly note, no spaces between the IMEI numbers when you copy paste from your iPhone “About” section from settings.

I tried checking on my phone and it said it didn’t accept my 8. But when I checked from my Mac it showed me that my 8 is eligible for trade in.

 

[manofsorrows]

I did. Keyed in imei number...

[yotoden]
