Where to sell an iPhone in Batumi quickly and safely

You've decided to sell your iPhone: you bought a new one, you're leaving Georgia, or you're just tired of it. In Batumi there are three main ways. Here's an honest comparison.

1. A listing (ss.ge, Facebook groups, Telegram chats)

Pros: you can get the highest price if the phone is in perfect condition and you're not in a hurry.

Cons: - selling can take weeks; - endless "what's your last price?" and haggling; - meeting strangers; - scam risks: fake transfers, "couriers", swaps during inspection; - a faulty or cracked phone is almost impossible to sell this way.

2. A buyback service

Pros: - money the same day; - a quote from photos within minutes; - they buy faulty, cracked and water-damaged phones too; - no meeting strangers: you come to a technician.

Cons: the price is a little lower than an "ideal" listing price, since the buyer takes on the inspection, the risk and the time to resell.

3. Trade-in at a shop

Convenient if you're buying a new phone at that shop. But the offer is usually modest, and you can only spend it there.

What to choose

No rush, phone in perfect shape: try a listing.
Need money today, leaving, or the phone has a defect: buyback.
Buying new at a specific shop: compare their trade-in with a buyback quote.

How not to undersell

Check what the same model with the same storage sells for on ss.ge, using realistic listings rather than the highest ones.
Photograph the phone in good light, showing the screen, body and battery health.
Find the box and charger; they add a little.
Prepare the phone: see How to prepare a phone for sale.

How we do it

Send us the model, storage, condition and a couple of photos on Telegram, and we'll quote within minutes. When we meet, a technician checks the phone in front of you, helps you sign out of iCloud and reset it, and you're paid on the spot. More: device buyback.
