The Basic Ways in keeping your Cell Phone's Resale Value

By Andrew Craine


Mobile phones help us get in touch with the rest of the world that is certainly one of the reasons why people say that they are assets. Since the birth of telecommunications, cell phones totally beaten up pagers and instant calls and even made landlines not useful at all to the consumers. Together with the internet, it is our most effective and useful communications tool.

However, there is an additional aspect to the mobile phone - which makes it a responsibility. Cell phones depreciate over time unlike a house or a reliable stock because there are usually something new released in the market. Once a person started utilizing it, the value of the mobile phone begins to move down. We will be discussing in this article the easy ways on how to raise the value of your cell phone when you plan to market it.

Keeping the original cell phone case untouched is the greatest and most straightforward approach to do this. Buying an additional case from a mobile shop is one way of raising the worth of your mobile phone. The buyer would usually prefer to check out appearance of your mobile phone first before he decides to get it. If it looks clean, free of scratches, smudges or any paint chipping, most likely it will give the effect that the mobile phone has not been extensively used. Buying an extra case right of the bat when you just have purchased your new unit is a good technique. Instead of utilizing the original case, you can use the additional case from the start. This tactic alone can probably merit you a 30% reselling value increase as compared to if you used the original case.

You can buy also an extra battery. Buyers usually ask just how long you have been utilizing your cell phone's battery and they would probably frown if you answered them 'for at least a year'. The battery will have its most severe functionality if you use it for so long and this is true. A well used battery tends to ruin the internal wiring while it is being charged and it runs out of power very quickly. Having an extra battery is an edge for you since you can use it if you present your mobile phone to a customer for resale. The customers will have a good impression that you only have been utilizing your unit for a short while by doing this.

Your buyer will have an impression that your mobile phone is just slightly used which will provide you with the opportunity to raise its value. From 60%, your cell phone's devaluation will decrease to 20% if you modify your device annually via upgrading. Your mobile phone should have an additional case and battery for you to achieve this. Has anybody ever imagined that mobile phone accessories can do this trick?
