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.

Get Your ValuationHow Stretford customers sell with us: We don't have a Stretford shop. Both routes — tracked post and a St Helens counter visit — start with a WhatsApp guide valuation based on your model, storage and photos.
Roughly 30 minutes by car from Stretford to St Helens via the M60 and M62, with parking at the Tontine multi-storey close to the counter on Church Street.
Stretford enquiries skew towards mid-range and older flagship Androids — Galaxy S and A series, Motorola, Xiaomi — often with a cracked screen or a battery that no longer lasts the day. Both are priced in rather than ruled out; the offer reflects the cost of putting the device right.
If a phone won't power on at all, still send it through the valuation. Non-booting handsets have parts value, and occasionally the fault is a dead battery rather than a dead board.
