Recommerce site Decluttr.com
says it has experienced a surge in iPhone 6 trade-ins as consumers
anticipate the launch of Apple’s newest model. The company is reporting a
73 percent boost in the past month alone, and is predicting an influx
of the iPhone 6 and 6s models will be traded-in following Apple’s press
conference scheduled for September 7.
The site, which offers cash for unwanted smart phones, DVDs, CDs, video
games and electronics, believes the increase comes from consumers’
desire to make additional cash to purchase the iPhone 7. With trade-in
values of older phones immediately decreasing once a new model is
announced, savvy-iPhone users are taking advantage of higher trade-in
prices before the iPhone 7 launch date is confirmed. Current trade-in
value from Decluttr on iPhone 6 models in excellent condition will give
consumers between $300 and $400.
· iPhone 6, 128gb - $306
· iPhone 6s, 128gb - $400
· iPhone 6 plus, 128gb - $326
· iPhone 6s plus, 128gb - $395
Data from Decluttr has shown that once a new Apple model is announced,
the predecessor can lose up to 12 percent of its value the week after
the announcement, so consumers frequently act fast to get the highest
trade-in value. Typically, smart phones can lose up to 65 percent of
their value after just a month of being released.
When the iPhone 4 was launched in 2010, it was valued at $599. By the
time of the iPhone 5 announcement in 2012, the trade-in value had
dropped to $102 – losing 83 percent of its original value. The iPhone 5s
experienced a similar devaluation. Valued at $749 when it launched and
plummeting to just over $390 after the iPhone 6’s launch. That’s a loss
of 58 percent of its value in just 24 hours.
With the iPhone 7 launch just around the corner, consumers are looking
to get the best price from their current model as Liam Howley, group
marketing director at Decluttr.com says, “Decluttr has seen a
substantial increase in the number of iPhones being traded-in on the
site, especially the iPhone 6, where we have seen 73 percent growth in
customers wanting to get the best price possible for that specific model
before the iPhone 7 is announced and starts shipping.
“Not only do we pay the top prices, we also we offer a price guarantee
on all of our electronic items, so what we quote will be the final
amount sent or we’ll send the item back for free, unlike some other
sites which will pay out less than they originally offered or offer
inflated ‘up to’ prices to tempt you in.”
Decluttr has a five-star rating on Trust Pilot, giving customers
confidence in knowing they will get the best service from the site when
they trade-in their unwanted items.
