That's where I'll be heading, assuming I get my phone back in the condition I sent it!
Meh. Mazuma are only offering £5 less than Music Magpie and I can deal with that I think. Gonna put a sell order in now. Hopefully the last time I'll have to deal with this sort of thing as switching to the Upgrade Program.
I went to game two years ago with my iPhone 5 and got top dollar compared to everyone else. If my buyer at work doesn't come through, Game will most likely be my plan b as well.
Mine is coming from O2 business, so not as quick as a personal order. Was sent friday evening for Monday delivery.. eager to receive! iPhone 7 128gb Jet black. Free upgrade. Leather case already bough from Apple 
I think I'm the only person with a delivery date of 22-26 Sep (I had a first batch JB 128GB 7 on order, but changed my mind on the 13th and ordered it in silver instead. Missed out on getting it yesterday by a day I think)
It's your bank probably doing fraud prevention. Mine did the same last week. I had to get my bank to authorise it and then the payment went through. Unless you paid using Apple Pay as some people on here are having some problems. I think there might be some problems at Apple's end in which case you should speak to Apple.

I got £440 for my iPhone 6S plus 128GB from carphone warehouse today.
Game are offering £310 for the 16gb so should be heigher for the 64gb
Yes better to do that.
Apple sent my phone off to repair, dead pixels. Once its back im going to take the box down with me and accessories and pop in to Game and carphone and whoever pays higher im giving it in. Dont want to mess with Mazuma again plus its already cost me £7.25 for RMSD and thats what ill have to pay again if sending
I tried to look on the Game site after seeing another comment about them here but couldn't find a quote for a 6, only a 6s, but I'll have a look again in a minute on my laptop instead of my phone. Thanks
Did you cosider CEX or selling on gumtree. gumtree is a ball ache with the hassle of meeting someone/someone coming to your house and 'scoping it out'. Would get a lot more though.
Might pop in CPW and see what they offer for a 6s plus 128gb.

Didn't know they sold second hand phones. They really have sunk low.
Anyway I looked and for my phone, they say 'at least' £330. Mine still has 6 months warranty, used as second phone, its MINT, in official apple leather case from day one, never dropped and not a single mark on screen. I would expect £400 for that! Will have to barter with a manager I imagine. Anyone have experience of this?
Carphone warehouse should give you £440. That's what I got for my 6S plus 128GB. It looks brand new still. There was no bartering. All they wanted to see is if it would turn on and if the buttons worked and that was it simple. Game only wanted to give me £310! The phone was still in the box and they hadn't even seen it. And cex say £330 on their website so I went with Carphone warehouse.
Alas! Mine is but a 6 Plus 16GB so the average price is £230 for unlocked and decent condition. I've put in a sell order with Mazuma but still shopping around. Not really willing to go with Game as they want the box (which I like to keep for all my Apple devices past and present) and they'd consider my device to be 'B' grade which is £240. They offer £280 for as-new 6 Plus units tho, which is not too shabby at all! Unfortunately mine has just enough dings and scratches to be considered 'B' grade.
Edit: Just checked CW, they're offering more for people who bought their iPhone from CW. Otherwise quote is exactly the same as Mazuma.

I know game don't make sense. They offered my only £310 for my 6S plus 128GB and they hadn't even seen it as it was in the box. So I just walked out and went back to CPW. I got to keep my box and all the accessories. They only wanted the phone.
Been using my 7 plus for a day now and took some very nice pictures while I was walking my dog all I can say is I love the phone and 100% worth the buy good luck to everyone getting one
Where does Game get off offering £310 for it when CPW gave you £440?? Crazy. This is why they are constantly on the verge of going out of business. Their whole business model is a joke, they are greedy. I know they have shop overheads but come on. I got Dirt Rally for the PS4 from amazon for £35 and game charged £50! I know they have overheads but £15 more? If they sold things slightly more but kept competitive they would sell MORE. In theory.
Then again what do I know, i run a small business which is a different market so maybe I know nothing.
I've just started up the process with Mazuma as they were offering the best price for my 6s Plus 64GB at £390 - CPW is the same price. CEX is a complete joke (less than £300).
Wish I had sent if off before as I saw the price was a fair bit higher before the keynote, but hey my phone is a bit delayed - on 20-22 but still stuck on preparing for dispatch?
Last year I sent mine off 3 weeks before the keynote and was stuck with an android phone. It was the worst thing ever

I don't think I'd be sending a phone off to any of the companies. Seeing as most of the people on here have had issues with magic damage appearing!
