The market second hand tablets offers us a magnificent opportunity to both sellers and buyers to, in one case, get rid of a product that we no longer need and get good money and, on the other, get a team that we long for a price low. Write down these tips to do the best business.
Looking for second-hand tablets can be a great solution if we need a device cheap and with all its features intact. In the same way, those who always aspire to have the latest model tend to try to get rid of their old devices, recovering some money, before the arrival of a new generation in stores, at which time the marketing becomes especially intense and interesting. For example these days, with the very possible arrival of iPad Pro 2We're sure a few second-hand Apple tablets are going to go on sale. It may be a good time to take advantage.
Best places to buy or sell a used tablet
Personally, I can say that I have sold products in three places and I use them to dispose of my old equipment. The first one I go to right now is Wallapop. It facilitates the delivery by hand and that is very important to establish a certain trust between the two parties. In addition, shipments can also be made if we agree with the other person. Vibbo It uses a similar system and it is also in my library, but it has fewer users. A third option along that line would be milanuncios, although I have never tried it.
On the other hand also eBay it deserves to be taken into account. Before the arrival of Wallapop it was my preferred option, although it is more difficult to write an ad and the portal is left with a chop important of the sale price. Something similar happens with Amazon. In these two cases (especially if I am selling something), I prefer to use them as the last bullet, if I do not find a decent deal on the sites mentioned in the previous paragraph. As a buyer, however, it never hurts to take a look.
Tips for selling second-hand tablets
The main thing, the security with our private information
A few months ago we wrote a little guide on how to make a full wipe of our our team before selling or giving it away. If we want to get rid of a used tablet, it is important to keep in mind that the data on the device is not completely erased simply by doing a reset of manufactures, but in this way there are still recoverable remains.
Code data or copying completely irrelevant information in the internal memory of the terminal until filling it is usually a recommended option, if we had content especially sensitive stored on the tablet before it is released for sale.
Writing a good ad will make your tablet attractive
In any of these portals we must try, being sincere y honest, describe all the virtues of the product. The images are going to be key, since it is the first thing that attracts attention. Photos with flash, with little cared backgrounds will succeed less. If you find a nice place, with good light, you have a decent camera and you capture (at least) an image of the tablet with the screen on, it will always be more striking.
As we say, frankness above all. In case the team has any flaw, you have to indicate it and include a photo where the damage is perfectly visible. Similarly, if the terminal is pristine, it has been used very little and you still have time to spare. aIt should be commented, since they are "bonuses" that not everyone can offer and from which some advantage can be taken.
Start a slightly higher price
Sometimes, buyer satisfaction is overwhelmed simply by thinking that they have achieved lower something about the starting price. If we want to sell our tablet for 150 euros, it is smarter to start it for 170 or 160 and accept a small discount than to show ourselves absolutely inflexible with respect to the initial price. On the other hand, if we are going to try to sell in auction format, the best thing is just the opposite: to look for a quantity little lower as a hook for more than one buyer to be interested and to generate a small competition.
Tips for buying second-hand tablets
Pay attention to the features of the tablet
As a buyer, I personally would always prefer a portal like Wallapop o Vibbo and contact the equipment before purchasing it, to verify that everything works correctly. If it cannot be, the assessment from the seller and the comments left by other users can always give us a clue about the person with whom we are going to deal.
On the other hand, basically, it is about taking the recommendations cited in the previous section and turning them around: looking for tablets that still have a, who has had little use or that they have always gone with cover. They are always factors that give a certain value to the product. Asking the buyer for a video to check that everything is working properly before meeting him can be a good way to advance work.
How to find and / or get the best price
In this sense, the search engine of all the aforementioned platforms is our friend. We must always compare with a new model to know what the price difference is and whether or not it is worth paying for it. Honestly, if the used tablet does not lower at least one 30-40% Of the value at first hand, I would almost always go for an unused unit, although that is a subject in which a criterion and personal needs of each one already intervene.
If the device advertisement clearly specifies that there is no negociación If possible, the ideal thing is at least not to try a discount from the beginning, because usually the other person is going to take it badly. Such an attitude is usually a sign that you have not read the description. If you are friendly and polite, there will always be a greater possibility that the seller can empathize with us and apply a small discount if we can, but you also have to be aware that you should not force too much. If we are facing a good price, better Act Fast and do not be ambitious.
Sellers are generally going to be more honest And they are going to take more seriously deals with someone who deserves respect, and not with a buyer who has made them dizzy to discount the product. If someone else comes offering more, the logical thing is to show loyalty to someone who has not tried take advantage of the situationBut it has been serious from the beginning.
Secure the purchase with Paypal and captures
Whenever possible we should resort to PayPal, especially if we are talking about a postal shipment. Take screenshots of conversations that we have had with the seller and even the announcement of the product, it will always be positive in the event that later what does not arrive is not what is expected.
PayPal will allow us open disputes to recover our money and all the captures, messages, conversations, etc. they can be used as evidence for possible arbitration. There is always something that can go wrong later and in that case, as we have pointed out before, we can cover our backs with a invoice. Electronic devices, with few exceptions, have a two-year guarantee that we can use if we detect any malfunction.
