How many of you here have used Smart Kiosk?

Thinking of using it for my partner's 12 pro 256GB (locked in at £555.00) on Sunday but im in two minds.

Once the money is paid is the order classed as complete or do we have to wait for MM to get the iPhone.

If that's the case ill just post it.
 
a permanent ban unfortunately.
Oh no! He was great on these threads, he'll be missed, hopefully, someone is in touch with him to vicariously share his multiple final decisions on a) purchasing (or not) and b) preferred model that he's almost definitely not purchasing, and of course, the anticipated delivery date of the model he may swap (or not) when it arrives ;) #SadTimes

when I used it to sell my X the money was paid into my account within minutes.
 
And thats that? I don't have to worry about the transit how will they get it and will it be ok in transit etc.
Correct.
kiosk ‘swallows’ your phone and you walk away !

presumably it’s emptied and contents couriered to whoever.

given the kiosks are all in ASDAs, some chap probably empties them into a box and ships them with the other stuff handed over the counter

Agreed - cases just look ridiculous on the watches !

I had my Series 4 caseless for the duration of the time I owned it (several years) and it never sustained any damages (wore it every day).

The watch is really robust you know - have you not seen the new adverts whereby it is worn and smashed about during a tennis game, dirty water sports and even during a wrestling match??!?!
 
After a couple of failed years attempting to sell to MM (offer expiring and then a new one being too low, and last years debacle with the smart kiosk wanting to re-quote me, not sure what went on, maybe user error, but i'd say that's a flawed user experience if so). Both times i ended up selling on eBay when they had one of their reduced fees events and made more money anyway, so can't complain.

This year I thought I'd try the add to basket and re-save someone on here seemingly had success with last year. So far so good. Saved a quote of £790 for a 512 13PM 14 days ago (£780 + the £10 voucher available at the time). Added to my basket just now, removed the £10 and added Upgrade22 instead and the re-saved rather than moving to checkout and I now have a newly saved quote for a total of £800 for another 14 days from today. My hope is to get the new phone on the 16th (if that's the release date) migrate everything and then send off my 13PM to MM with the full 7 days still to get to them, a decent pre-announcement quote and no need for a burner phone.

That's the plan anyway......

great to see if that works! hopefully no one from MM is an apple fan and reading these pages and clamp down on it 😂

looks like MM are reselling our traded in phones for over a grand!

Interestingly, the green and the gold models go for a little less. Still that’s quite a price.
