When I broke my iPhone 4 8GB last month, I was totally messed up. The incident happened when my sister accidentally sat on it when I left it under the chair cushion. When I retrieved it, the screen was cracked beyond repair. Although I could still turn it on, I could not see what was behind the strokes of glass slivers. That was probably the worst day of my life.
I could have forgotten my broken iPhone because my Dad bought me the newest Apple smartphone- the iPhone 4S. I was enjoying the sleek features and functionality of the iPhone 4S when my sister asked me where I put the broken iPhone 4.
When I handed it to her, she examined it and said that I could still get cash in exchange for my broken gadget. I said, “Really? Who gives a damn about a damaged gizmo like that?” But she cut me off and told me that I should try trading it in online, not heeding the results because, well, it was broken in the first place. Certainly, there was nothing to lose.
So that prompted us to pull off an experiment, and that was to sell my broken iPhone 4. When we logged on to the internet we came across a certain website that goes by the name of cashforiphones.com. But even before we made it to the website, there was a link headlined Cashforiphones is a scam! We clicked it and we saw nasty and unfavorable comments about the website.
But did that dampen our spirits? Hell, no! Adventurous as we were, we still went on selling my broken iPhone 4. For no reason! Just wanting to prove- or disprove- the issue that cashforiphones.com is a scam.
And off we went; I logged on to the website and clicked the ‘get an instant online quote’. I was asked about the condition of my iPhone. I clicked the right buttons and boy, I was surprised that they were willing to pay me $158 for a cracked iPhone. Sure, there was cash in what I considered trash.
Because I was really hyped up, I finished the transaction in less than a minute. I filled out an online shipping and packaging form, and then I received an email notification wanting to confirm my selling request.
I was told to wait for a free mailing box at home, and that I needed to put the iPhone in and take it to a UPS branch near my location which I very well did.
Would you believe what happened? I got the price I had been quoted. Yes! After one week, I got it through mailed check. I was really happy when I was staring at the crisp check. My God! Just when I though I couldn’t max out the value of my broken iPhone 4, only one website was there to save the day- and that was cashforiphones.com!
And we now have the conclusion: cashforiphones is certainly not a scam!
