The simple answer to this question is yes, you can sell a broken or damaged cell phone through the SellCell.com service. It doesn’t matter if you have drop kicked it into oblivion and smashed the screen, or been a bit too heavy handed and broken a power button, we still offer top prices for your gadget.
Unfortunately, most people with a beat-up device chuck it to the back of a drawer never to see the light of day again. This is purely down to the fact that they believe the device is worthless, but think again people of America! That shattered and damaged device could replenish your bank account, pay off some unexpected bills or even give you the opportunity to treat yourself to something you have wanted for a while but haven’t been able to afford.
Do You Offer Broken Phone Prices?
They sure do! The majority of companies in our comparison will provide a broken price for you, and you will be quite surprised by the amount of money some of these buyers are offering for your broken cell.
As SellCell is a comparison, the buyers are battling for your custom so you will be guaranteed a much higher price than going directly to a buyer’s website. This in turn means you get more money back for your broken cell phone.
