Tips for Buying Cell Phones on Craigslist
Do you want a cool new cell phone, but don’t want to pay the high price of a new one? If so, you can visit Craigslist.org to find both new and used cell phones for affordable prices.
Craigslist is a growing online classified website. Internet users are able to buy, sell, and trade a wide range of products, including mobile phones. As an interested buyer, you must visit the website. From there, select your state and your city. Not all cities are listed, so you may need to opt for the nearest inside. Then, look to the left-hand side of the page for the search box. Perform a search using the words “phone,” “cell phone,” or you can search for a specific make and model.
After performing a search on Craigslist.org, you will get a list of cell phones for sale in your local area. Before getting excited about a popular cell phone with a cheap price tag, click on the product headline to read more information. Inside, you will find a full product description and this is where you need to focus most of your attention.
When buying a new or used cell phone on Craigslist, you must proceed with caution. New phones often have a high price tag and this is okay because they are new, but you aren’t buying from a dealer or a retail store. Make sure you receive some discount off the estimated retail value. As for used cell phones, ensure you aren’t unknowingly buying a broken cell phone. Sellers should outline in their postings if the cell phone is broken, but not all do. That is why you must ask when contacting for more information.
In addition to buying a cell phone, you will also need a charger. You may prefer to have a wall charger, car charger, or both. Some sellers include these cell phone accessories, among others, with the phone. If you must purchase a cell phone charger or headset separately, consider the added cost before agreeing to buy a used phone, as the overall cost will increase.
As previously stated, Craigslist is city based, meaning you select your nearest city to view for sale products. If you don’t mind traveling a few hours for a cheap cell phone, you need to adjust your searches according. Unfortunately, the website does not allow you to search multiple cities at once, but you can download the free Craigslist Reader from MotionT.com to do so.
