Is your phone running out of steam even after tech support has looked at it? You might be one of many who are looking to get a new phone to replace it. Buying pre-owned phones has become a lot more common nowadays. While a brand new one can be enticing, there are still great benefits to buying pre-owned!
Price
Second-hand phones can have more positives than you might think. One of the more popular ones is the cost. A brand new Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus might set you back R9,899. But buying a pre-owned one from Epic Deals is remarkably cheaper at R6,499.
Currently, the lowest price smartphone on Epic Deals is listed at R2,299. You can even choose to pay with installments by using Payflex/PayJustNow/Lay-Up to even out the costs. It’s an easy way to get back to the modern day when your smartphone’s been out of commission for a while, and easy on the wallet!
Environment
Buying a second-hand phone is also beneficial for the environment. Basically, it prevents the phone from being sent straight to the landfill. Disposing of this electronic waste (or e-waste) can be incredibly damaging to the environment. Toxic chemicals and heavy metals can leak from these devices into the soil and groundwater. And this results in poisoning wildlife and even ending up in the very air we breathe.
People trade in and re-sell phones all the time. But if they’re not bought then there’s not much to be done. Purchasing your phone can help stimulate this industry and help re-use phones that still function rather than throwing them away. Recycling e-waste responsibly is also done on a monthly basis at Epic Deals depending on the quantity.
Shopping Online
Going into shops to search for your new phone can be nice. However, it can often be a hassle to wander around looking for something, only to find no one has it in stock. This is where shopping online thrives. E-commerce stores have updates on stock availability and clear information about the phone you’re looking for. For these reasons, shopping online is the way to go + with the added benefit of not having to drive out petrol for such efforts.
At Epic Deals we have so many great deals on Smartphones and iPhones. In addition, we also sell other pre-loved tech like smartwatches and tablets all at reasonable prices. These products also come with warranties available, have multiple different payment methods for your benefit, and even an easy search function to limit the cost of what you’re looking for!
Helping Others
There can be a multitude of reasons for re-selling a phone or device. One simple reason could be that you just need the money. While the person who traded in their phone will probably already have their money, your purchase can help stimulate the industry and keep it going so it can help others.
In the same vein, when you get a new phone and your older one still functions well, you can always sell to a respected buyer like us who will find a new home for it. There are many different people who benefit from this industry, and you could be one of them!
Lower Phone Plans
There are plenty of phone plans available when you buy a new phone, such as yearly plans that can cost a bomb overall. Rather than going straight for a contract phone and paying it off, you can always go straight for pre-owned with no strings attached!
Without a contract holding you back, you’ll have the freedom to choose how much you want or need to spend each month on data, minutes and texts, rather than subscribing to a specific monthly amount. Your costs will drop and you’ll be free to make your own choices.
Warranty
You might think that with a pre-owned phone, a warranty isn’t something you’d get. After all, it’s been used often so would it still be under warranty?
The answer is yes, it would come with a warranty. While some pre-owned devices may not (such as items at grade C condition) we at Epic Deals offer a minimum of 3 months warranty on most smartphones, some with 6 months depending on the condition.
Feel free to contact us for more info on warranties with smartphones!
