Smartphone trade-ins from Samsung in SA

Samsung has announced Smart Trade, a service that lets you trade in almost any smartphone for credit towards a Galaxy device

Is there one in Durban?

Is there one in Durban?

I think there's one at Gateway.

Yes.

This might be a stupid question, but what do the retailers do with the trade in? Does it go to a secondhand market? Stripped for spares? Reuse of parts in devices?

According to this page I can get about R300 for trading in a Nokia Lumia 820

I got the trade in value of my 6 month old S3 and was disappointed to be offered R 1400 for a phone that does not have any marks or scratches on the screen and just the blue paint starting to wear thin on the one corner.

I felt Samsung had wasted my time

Are they this hard-up for business?

hmmm wonder how much they would give me for my trusty S2...

They want to offer me $40 for my 8.9 inch tablet.

Its to be expected that they will offer you hardly anything for the device. You are better off selling it out of hand.

Convenience and speed I suppose. I would still just sell it myself.

Same here to be quite honest

I think to compete with apple, as I think apple has a trade-in service of some sort, but I stand to be corrected
