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 Lytham St Annes customers sell with us: There is no PhonesForCash counter in Lytham St Annes. The service here is postal: guide valuation on WhatsApp, tracked send-in, inspection, confirmed offer and bank transfer.
St Helens is around an hour away via the M55 and M6. Most sellers here post instead, which costs nothing in travel and gets the same figure.
Selling from Lytham St Annes 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.
We buy well-kept older flagships from this area regularly — phones that have lived in a case since day one and look close to new. Condition genuinely moves the number: an iPhone with an unmarked screen and clean frame can be worth substantially more than the same model with edge dings, so clean it up and photograph it in good light.
