Sell My Phone in Leeds
Leeds has more phone-buying counters than almost anywhere in Yorkshire — the Merrion Centre, Trinity, Kirkgate — and they rarely explain how they arrive at a number. PhonesForCash does, by post: you get a guide valuation with the reasoning behind it, and if you've got a current CeX cash price we'll match or beat it like-for-like.
We'll Match or Beat CeX
Got a current CeX cash price for the same device? We'll match or beat it on a like-for-like basis.*
*Like-for-like means the same device model, storage capacity and equivalent condition or grade. The CeX cash price must be current and verifiable, and refers to the CeX cash value rather than the higher voucher or exchange value. Final valuation is subject to inspection of the device. Terms apply.
PhonesForCash is not affiliated with, endorsed by or partnered with CeX. CeX is named only as an identifiable competitor for the purpose of the comparison. Read the full CeX price match terms.
Get Your ValuationHow Leeds customers sell with us: There is no PhonesForCash counter in Leeds. Leeds is served entirely by the tracked nationwide postal service: WhatsApp valuation first, then insured send-in, testing, a confirmed offer and payment by bank transfer on acceptance.
Our counters are in St Helens and Carlisle, both a long way from Leeds, so we don't suggest travelling. The postal figure is identical to the counter figure — distance doesn't cost you anything.
Selling from Leeds works entirely by post: message the model, storage, condition and photos, get a guide valuation back, then send the device on a tracked, insured service using the instructions we give you. Nothing is posted until you've seen a figure and agreed to go ahead, and if the confirmed offer after inspection isn't what you want, the device comes straight back to you.
Leeds has one of the biggest student populations in the country, and June and September bring a wave of handsets from Headingley and Hyde Park. If you're selling at the end of a tenancy, do it before you move rather than after — phones that spend a summer in a box lose value while a new model launches.
We buy the full range from Leeds: current iPhone Pro models, Galaxy S and Z series, Pixels, OnePlus, Nothing, Motorola and Xiaomi, plus AirPods and Apple Watches. Send everything in one message and we'll value it together.
