You may also have to sign up for a contract, which can cost you in the long run.<br>\n\u2022&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Selling it to a shop: Like trading it in, the offer is usually low.<br>\n\u2022&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Putting it up for auction: if you have a high-demand cell phone this may be your best option; however, auctions are strange things. Depending upon time, date, and luck you may get a lot or you may find you\u2019ve just sold your cell phone for peanuts.<br>\n\u2022&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Recycling for cash: for most cell phones, the highest offers come from recycle companies. Because they have multiple ways of using your old phone, they can offer more for them.<br>\nIf you have the time to shop and compare, then you should; but remember, for most cells, recycling&nbsp; will get you the most cash for the least hassle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to selling an old cell phone, there are a few
