How to sell my iPhone 8 Plus? Easy!
The iPhone 8 Plus was the more advanced model than the iPhone 8 and it was part of the 11th generation of the iPhone, together with the iPhone X. Most of the hardware on the iPhone 8, the iPhone 8 Plus and the iPhone X was the same. Still, the iPhone 8 Plus was released three years ago, so if you own one, you might already be wondering how to sell my iPhone 8 Plus. After all, most people upgrade to a newer phone sooner, usually within two years. And you have previously switched to a new phone, but you still have an old iPhone 8 Plus lying around, you can still sell it.
Can I sell my iPhone 8 Plus locally?
There are many options as to where and how to sell your iPhone 8 Plus, you can sell it at a local smartphone repair shop, as many of these also sell used phones. They would often buy broken, or damaged phones at a lower price and then resell them at a lot higher price. That was particularly popular a while ago, when phones, so to say, lasted longer, whereas nowadays the more delicate part of phones such as iPhones are pretty expensive, and many would say that it’s not worth repairing them.
But an iPhone 8 Plus is a still a decent phone and many would be interested in buying it, especially if it’s in a good condition. However, these local shops aim to buy used phones on the cheap, so you might not get the price you expect, or even a price that’s close to it.
Another option if you are looking to sell your phone locally is selling it directly to the potential user. That could be your neighbor, your coworker, or one of their friends. But this is an even trickier option, it’s not the most convenient scenario.
