Bait & Switch
Classic bait and switch. Was offered £446 for an iPhone 15, which was revised down to £334 due to some small cosmetic scratches on the very top of the case (nothing on the screen which was pristine). The counter-offer email indicated that phone was otherwise perfect. I did expect a revised offer as these trade-in companies play the same game. However, the scale of the drop was significant. When looking at refurbished phones for sale on their website they are selling iPhone 15s with my specs for over £700 - I appreciate they need to make a margin, but it feels a bit greedy to gouge that much from the underlying seller. I ultimately sold my iPhone on Vinted for £420 on basis that cutting out the resellers who gouge both the seller and the buyer is better for all. On plus side, they were very quick to return phone and good communication. Reference: W55AA061565
