Three ways. One honest comparison.
Same device, same day — here's exactly what changes between in-store, doorstep and 30-day consignment. Every price shown online is a reference; the final value is confirmed in person at Solihull.
Figures are reference prices. Your final value is confirmed in person before anything is agreed.
Good to know
Why is the online price only a reference?
The figure you get online is a guide based on your model and condition. The exact value depends on the real state of the battery, screen, frame and board — so our engineer confirms it in person before anything is agreed. No lowballing on arrival.
How does consignment pay more?
We list your device at full refurbished resale price on byte.co.uk. When it sells, you keep 75% of the sale price — typically more than the instant-cash offer. We handle the buyer, payment and delivery.
When do I get paid?
In-store and doorstep: on the day, the moment we confirm the value. Consignment: the day your device sells.
What if my device doesn't sell in 30 days?
Your choice, with no fees: take the instant-cash offer, get a free return, or extend the listing another 30 days.
Does a trade-in affect your warranty?
No. Your trade-in is separate from anything you buy. Every refurbished device we sell still carries our lifetime warranty.
