The gadgets you can quickly sell online include old mobile phones, PlayStation and other gaming consoles along with unwanted and old laptops. You can sell a Samsung Galaxy A3 or even sell a broken iPhone 7 to an online recycling company for instant cash. There are many companies which offer online trade-in services which allow you to send off your unwanted gadgets for free and receive cash once they have tested your device.Â

Always use google to find out the best possible company which is not on any comparison website.
