Don’t get it fixed just to get a good price

If you are selling it with unoriginal accessories which do not cost much, try selling them for free with your iPhone. Customers would be attracted to it and you may quickly cut a deal.
Don’t get scammed or ripped off
Selling on eBay, street buyers, stores, etc., may not get you the best price for your iPhone. Buyers can be manipulative, may negotiate too much and it can get complicated. Liberate yourself from any hassle which would compel you to take drastic actions. Try selling it to a company; a good example of it is igotoffer.com, a platform where you can sell used, old or even broken consumer electronics like almost all products of Apple. It’s a company which allows you to enter the details of your gadget and then gets a quotation based on its condition, features, and accessories. You can get an instant offer on your device, get free of cost shipping and fast payment.
Sell it before a new model release
September is the time for the new release of iPhone(s). If you plan to buy a newly released model, make sure you sell your old one before the release as it can quickly diminish its price. To get a good price, it is important to sell early and before a new release is close.
Nobody wishes to invite hassles, delays, and complications when selling a device. It is not a difficult business if you have important knowledge and the true value of your phone. One should always try to get the best deal out of everything.
