Decided to put mine on eBay this morning, had a email to say it was 80% selling fees which swung it for me. I'll see how it goes.

 

[Jinjin]

I've stopped getting eBay offers... think I removed myself from marketing emails so probably doesn't help!

Anyone got any Music Magpie selling codes for additional £ or did those sort of things stop a while ago? I know MM aren’t recommend anymore. Cheers

SUMMERTEN gets +10%

 

[troubleonline]

Any for Envirofone? Been a while since they used to do the EXTRA5 code.

Thanks! Unfortunately it accepts the code but adds no extra value.

I've got mine in an auction with 5 days left so hoping it gets to the amount I want. on about £640 at the moment.

All the offers I've had the most I had was £700 so decided with the auction route.

Anyone had positive/negative experiences with Meelie? A good condition 15 Pro 128GB is £600 for trade in, which isn’t too bad, and that condition allows for a bit of wear and tear unlike MM.

Seems pretty good looking at reviews

How long do they allow you to send the phone in, once you've secured a price?

I’ve used them a few times and yeah no issues

we've been discussing IUP vs 24m elsewhere and my conclusion was that it was still financially better to sell privately and pay off rather than just hand back to apple.

the lower trade in values do make it interesting though

Where is this "elsewhere" you speak of .......?

Anybody settled on storage size to upgrade? Was going to get 512GB but I thought maybe save some money and buy 256GB again as I still have 153GB left on my 256GB model

I bought 512GB iPad Pro 13 inch thinking I needed the size but I’m only using 79GB of 512GB and 38GB of that is movies

256GB is the sweet spot for the majority I would have thought, pointless if you have over 150GB free on your current one.

On the iPad my M4 still has 820GB free on a 1TB but I did buy it for the ram more than the storage

Should do. Works when I added it to my basket

Thanks. Looks like 10 days, so shorter than others. Tempted to trade in this week and try and make it through with a burner phone.

Is music magpie still 14 days to send in before it expires? I’ve had a look and it doesn’t show on my basket how long it will be and how many until offer expires

I had the 512GB 15 Pro Max and never needed it. Most I got to was about 120. Have never got near the 250. I once tried to load up a 256 iPad with films etc and still didn't get near it. Save the money and stick to the 256.

Depends on pricing, I have 15pro 512gb. Am using 420gb at moment. Was thinking 1tb but not if it’s like £200 more

Heads up for anyone with EE. They’ve overhauled their plans from 29th August with some big changes to All Rounder and Full Works plans. Seem to have reduced the number of included extras but now including roaming options and the watch data plan within Full Works. Multi line discount also capped at £12 now rather than a full 30% ☹️ They also seem to have dropped Anytime Upgrades

Indeed they have:

Between 17th August 2022 and 28th August 2024, Upgrade Anytime was available to new and upgrading customers taking a 24-month All Rounder or Full Works plan on eligible devices, as well as existing customers on a 24-month 8GB, 20GB, 60GB or 100GB 4GEE Max plan.

Looking online it would also appear 5G SA is only going to be included on selected price plans as/when it launches.

I’m planning to do 0% finance through Apple for an iPhone 16 Pro, does anyone have any experience of trading in their old device which reduces the monthly payments? Does it slow down the whole process or is it a case of send in the old phone once the new one arrives? If the latter, how does that work if they assess the value of your phone to be lower than expected

It won't reduce the monthly payments. The value of your trade in will be paid to the lender (PayPal or Barclays). That will reduce the amount you owe them and you will either pay if off earlier, or have less to pay when you come to settle it in the future. You send the old phone to Apple once you have the new one. If they assess the value of your trade in to be lower, they will just pay the lender less, or return the phone to you.

I was always under the impression it did reduce the monthly payments but the trade in value sucks

Years ago I traded in an iPhone X for an iPhone 11 in store. They just took the cost of the trade off the total amount and then you finance the rest. For example, the phone was £800 and the trade was £200, you’d just finance the £600.

Hope that makes sense!

I think there is a difference between in store trade in and mail in trade in. I think L T was thinking of mail in.
