If your Samsung Galaxy S9 had a voice, would it cry out for rest? Not a single day has it not served you. If it's not performing as well or if you're just ready to move onto a different phone with newer features, you can do so in a way that profits you and the environment. Sell your old or used Galaxy S9 to Back Market and you'll get paid in just a few days. You'll also have the peace of mind that your old phone isn't just taking up landfill space, but being repaired to a like-new state of performance, ready to help the next person in need.
We have outlined a few steps for you to follow when reselling your S9 at the best price.
Where Can I Sell My Samsung Galaxy S9?
When you buy a new phone, how do you dispose of the old one? You may decide to keep it in your drawer or sometimes discard it with the rest of the household waste. The latter has been an unfortunate cause of megatons of e-waste that's harmful to the environment.
Depending on where you go to sell your used phone, selling takes much of your time bargaining with prospective buyers’, finding the right offer and navigating complicated policies. You might be looking at local pawn shops, allowing for open bids on eBay or selling at a different online marketplace. At Back Market, we make the process simple for you to mitigate a lot of these hassles.
All the information we need from you is the phone’s model, storage capacity, exterior condition and the general functionality status of the device. With this information, we give you the best fixed-price offer, which you can accept or reject on the spot.
That means you know the price of your Samsung before selling it. In the event that you accept the offer, we will provide a prepaid shipping label for you and you’ll be paid directly to your bank.
What Do I Need to Do Before Selling?
Personal data should be handled with confidentiality. Before shipping your Samsung Galaxy S9, be sure to back up your data and delete it from your phone. Here are a few recommended steps to consider:
Store all your contacts in your sim card and remove the sim Card. Create a backup in your cloud accounts
Disconnect your device from all accounts like Google, Samsung, and iCloud. We don’t refurbish connected devices
Delete any other information and unlock the S9 from your current carrier
Restore to factory settings
How Much Can I Sell My Samsung Galaxy S9 For?
The value of any smartphone depends on the model, storage, and general condition of the phone. You can trade in your Galaxy S9 256 GB smartphone, in great working condition, for about $40. One that has been extensively used and features visible dents and scratches can fetch about $22.
What if My Galaxy Samsung S9 Is Broken?
Back Market accepts broken phones with very visible marks and dents on the cover and screens. We also accept non-functional devices. Even so, be sure to clearly state that in the buyback 'functionality' prompt. The only phones we don’t accept include devices blocked by a carrier, rooted, stolen, or fake.
Note that broken or non-functional Samsung S9’s will fetch a lower price.
How Much Will Shipping Cost After I Accept an Offer?
After you accept our price offer, a prepaid shipping label will be e-mailed to you, so you won't be paying any shipping costs. Make sure you print it and pack it together with your phone. It is advisable to pack using the provided prepaid shipping kit for convenience and minimize shipping damage risks.
If you are using your own packing material, ensure that you cushion the device well to avoid any additional damage during shipping. Drop your well-packaged item at your nearest UPS drop-off location. Remember, you have only 21 days to ship your device after accepting the offer.
What Happens Once I’ve Accepted the Offer and Shipped My Galaxy S9?
Once your device is received, expert refurbishers confirm it's in the condition and functionality that you've specified previously in the process. Once approved, money will be deposited to your account in about 3-6 days. If there’s any discrepancy in the information submitted, we send you a new offer, which you can accept or reject.
