Does anyone have any experience of selling their phone to Music Magpie?
I'm planning to sell my phone to Music Magpie as they're offering a very good price compared to others (which is a bit too good to be true, tbh). But after reading some horrible reviews on MoneySavingExpert, I'm sceptic.
People have claimed Music Magpie had falsely claimed damages and reduced the price. Some said MM has lost their items or mixed up with others.
It will be very helpful if anyone can suggest what is the best way to deal with Music Magpie so as to avoid such cases.

sorted byIf, and it's a big if, they decide it's not as you've stated, they will let you know if the price is reduced. But, if your device is as you state, you will get the price quoted. If they offer less, then they will give you the opportunity to refuse thier offer and they will return the item.
As with ALL sales, whether to the like of MM, eBay, Shpock etc, take a note of the IMEI number of the device before you send. Dial *#06# on you phone dial pad. Take a screenshot or photo of it.
yeah, just the phone but i put the cable in with my phone as i wasn't going to need it so i thought the new buyer may appreciate it
of course, that was only after seeking the opinion of the hukd community as we all know, i can't make complex decisions like that on my own
Thanks @StonkwellBogtrotter . Keeping a note of the IMEI number is a good idea.
Just sent the phone, but make sure it’s charged.

Sold 2 iPhone 7 phones in the last 3 months, both paid out what was quoted.
i have sold phones to music magpie several times and they have always been reliable. i have only sold very old phones though and they have always paid the price quoted online for me.
Let me know your overall experience once you're done through the whole process
No problem - I'll update the thread once they pay out.
“Good price”? I highly doubt that.
Never understood why people are happy letting their goods go for 25-40% less than the market value.
Just the phone nothing else.
I don't recall seeing anything about not sending box, charger etc. I included everything because that's me (and I have no further use for them).
i always send the phone in the original box as it makes the phone looks better and impression always counts
they used to ask that you send the phone charging cable but they stopped doing that now for some reason as I guess people like to keep the cables but I would have thought that selling the phone on, it would be better to sell the phone with its charging cable.
i put the cable in anyway as it makes it easier for them to test the phone when it arrives as they have the correct cable to hand? but maybe they chuck the cable out during the processing of the phone so sending the cable will only go in the bin?
yeah, i always fully charge the phone before i send it in. and of course, i switch the power off before i send it in. this way they should be able to test the phone immediately when they turn it on.
How much for?Just sorted selling them my iPad - good price and an extra deal for £30 extra.
All packed up and ready for Royal Mail to collect tomorrow so easy enough so far.
The iPad is in mint condition so there shouldn't be any disputes over condition!
