Just to let you guys know CEX are giving £375 for my iPhone whereas Envirofone are only giving £350. No faffing around either waiting for them to send you the offer through the post. In my experience CEX don't really change their prices after new versions are released either so may be a way to go on or after launch day.
Anyone know if EE are working today?
Placed my EE order yesterday morning and shortly after received a "ORDER REFERRED. It is now being processed and we will be in touch if we need more information from you."
Nothing since.
First time moving away from O2 after 15 years...

They were working yesterday, they even had the business people in specially. Hearing the background noise over the phone it sounded like an office from Wolf of Wall Street...
I bet they've got today off.
When that happened to me on a past order, it was them doing a credit check (which I failed, due to only just turning 18). I received an email saying my order had been cancelled but I rang them up and managed to get it re-instated.
They might just have a backlog of credit checks or something.
Thanks, I assume that's what is happening.
I'm trying to avoid calling them, because a) they haven't asked me to, b) they're probably dealing with quite a bit right now and c) I have topcashback and calling *might* negate the offer.
Two issues I have with CEX are:
1. Online what if they deem your phone isn't the grade you think it is? Is it returned, can you trust in the care they take of it?
2. If you sell instore they need to have the money available in the float to pay you. If they don't they can offer a credit voucher for the store or you'll have to keep coming back.
Regarding number 2. I heard somewhere that they can bank transfer you the money if they don't have enough money in the till. Can anybody vouch for that?
that may be the case nowadays, I tried to do it a few years ago and never used them since. Problem is waiting for them to get enough money built up to give you as throughout the day there is always little transactions going on.
Ive personally never had a problem. I sold a link bracelet for Apple Watch to them and they had to go and get cash from elsewhere which only took an hour or so.
I understand your issue with how they grade it and they can be very picky - it all comes down to who inspects your phone / management of said store. I've recently had mine replaced as my original 6 Plus bent near the camera end so shouldn't have an issue.
I've only ever sold in store - don't think they have an option for mail order?
Also machining process and tooling should be pretty much the same this year, I'd imagine only minor adjustments need to be made for the series 7000 aluminium and it being slightly bigger. Last year they would have had to set it all up, test the tooling and troubleshoot incase any manufacturing errors occur, none of that is a factor this year.
Any other sites offering good prices for an iPhone 6 Plus 64GB unlocked?
I like the recycle sites where you just send the handset into them rather than the box and other items. As I've had a warranty replacement, the details on the box don't match my handset.

Hey guys! 
I'm wondering. I'm traveling to London (for the magic show of David Gilmour ... yeeey!) And I'm staying until the morning 26/09. You believe that if I go to the Apple Store 25/09 from very early, I can get two iPhone 6s? I have no reservation unfortunately ... from apple's website is no longer option to pick up, only to delivery
Thanks!

Wanted to change my delivery to a local pick up point (ie the shop where I collected my watch) but the option doesn't seem available??
yeah they do have the option online which seems to have pretty bad reviews. Ive only ever used the instore option but they didn't offer to get some money. perhaps that a new policy?
What model are you looking for, and what store? Reservations are still available, but some models are harder to get than others.Hey guys!

Im going with Envirophone. There giving me £360 for my regular 6. The next best price at the moment is CEX.
Im not bothering with eBay this year. While I sold it for way more last year the paypal and ebay fees meant I was well short compared to selling it to the recyclers. Also was such a hassle dealing with the daily "I'll give you £150 for a quick sale, msg me back yeah!" emails.
I hate ebay because the amount of fees they charge nowadays.
for me once they bought paypal the whole thing just crashed and burned.
I stopped using them when they wanted me to send them pictures of a passport etc to rove who I was. No thanks

I don't understand how the competition authorities allow eBay to charge up to 15% per sale. eBay's income comes not from providing a good service - because selling with them is a massive pain in the arse - it comes from their monopoly power.
And then didn't they buy Gumtree?
Appalling.
If anyone hasn't got their email yet... don't panic, follow the instructions posted by Brooksy (I think)... call Apple on 0800 048 0408 and ask for your confirmation email to be resent as you didn't receive it.
I've just got off the phone with them and the email arrived immediately.

Yep selling your phone on gumtree for around £50 less still gets you more profit then if you sold it via eBay with their fees.
