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 Winsford customers sell with us: We have no Winsford premises. Sell by tracked post after a guide valuation, or drive around 35 minutes to our St Helens counter via the M56 and M62 for payment on the visit.
St Helens is roughly 35 minutes from Winsford — one of the shorter Cheshire runs, so a counter visit is realistic here if you'd prefer to hand the device over yourself.
Mid-Cheshire households tend to keep phones a long time, and the devices we buy from Winsford are often three or four generations old. Those still have value, but check two things first: that the phone charges and holds charge, and that it isn't still signed into a previous owner's account.
If the device turns out to be worth very little, we'll tell you plainly rather than quoting a token figure to get it in the post.
