Buying a new device usually involves selling your old one. So today we will look at the best way to sell your old one. iPhone, which you want to replace with a new piece. We'll walk you through several steps together, from backing up, to logging out, to the actual advertising.

Backup before deletion

You certainly don't want to lose your data, so in the first step we'll look at how to back up your old device. We have two options - backup to iCloud or backup to a PC/Mac via iTunes. In the case of a backup to iCloud The procedure is quite simple. We make sure that we are connected to Wi-Fi, and then go to the native Settings application.

Logging out of Apple ID and iPhone recovery

Before selling any iPhone, it is necessary for the Apple device to be restored and deregistered from iCloudu. If you did not log out, the person who would have asked you iPhone purchased, would not be able to use it, as it would still be managed under your account and password. We log out as follows – go to Settings and click on our name. We scroll all the way down and click on the last option – Log out. We enter the password for iCloudand then press the Shut Down button. Your device will now be logged out.

After logging out, all you need to do is iPhone restore to factory settings so that the buyer starts with a clean slate. To perform the restore, go to Settings, and then to the General tab. Now scroll down and click on the Reset option. Click on the second option from the top, i.e. Erase data and settings. If you have on iCloudIf you have an old backup, select Back up and delete. If you don't want to update the backup, press Delete. Then enter the code and confirm the deletion.

Cleaning the iPhone

Before the sale itself, it is necessary that your iPhone looked good – just like the car you want to sell. So try to make it look good. iPhone cleaned of all dirt. Most of them are found, for example, in the silent mode switch or around the buttons. The best way to clean is with a damp cloth, for narrow places, for example, a damp cotton swab for the ears.

Photography

Photos are just as important as the cleanliness of the facility itself. Take great care with your photos. If you don't have a DSLR, try borrowing one. If you can't get one, try taking photos with your phone.onewith a better camera. Photos must be detailed and, most importantly, sharp to attract the attention of a potential buyer. It is the photo that people look at the most when browsing the ad.

Advertisement

After taking the photos, all that remains is to prepare the text for the ad. The advertisement should be written in writing and grammatically correct. However, not everyone is 100% fluent in Czech, and if you are not sure, consult someone who knows Czech before publishing. A poorly written ad will discourage many buyers, mainly because they may think you are illiterate and prefer someone else. Knowledge of i/y, s/za other dialects in the Czech language is mandatory when writing an advertisement.

You are not lying in the ad. Do you think it is correct to write "iPhone is in TOP condition,” even if it actually isn’t? Absolutely not! The photos will primarily say a lot about the condition of your device, and secondly, you certainly don’t want to have unnecessary problems with the buyer, when you claimed that it was iPhone "like new". Also, don't be afraid to use keywords at the end of the ad such as quick deal discount, free shipping, etc.

Of course, complete information about the product must not be missing - i.e. color, capacity, date of purchase, validity of the warranty, etc. If you have accessories available, such as spare glasses or packaging, be sure to give them to the phone for free. This increases the value of the phone, which means for the buyer that he will not only get the phone, but also get added value in the form of other things - and that is actually absolutely free in the price. The packaging for the old device would still be lying unused at home.

Example of advertisement

Buy iPhone X 64 GB in black including box. The device has light scratches on the body from normal use, a protective glass was glued to the display throughout the entire period of use. The device was purchased on January 27, 2018 in iWant, the warranty is valid for two years, i.e. until January 27, 2020. I will add a free case and 2x additional protective glass to the iPhone. The price is 19 CZK including shipping, a discount is possible for quick negotiations.

Where to post an ad?

You can place your ad on countless advertising portals in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. But I can personally recommend it to you Letem svetem Applem Market, where several acquaintances, including me, have already sold their old devices. After being redirected to the page, all you have to do is click on Add an ad on the right side of the screen. This will get you into the subconscious of readers LsA and I believe that someone will respond to your ad.
