Where To Sell Broken Smartphones?

[Anencephalus]

I broke my LG G2 today and having already repaired it once I think I'm going to sell it and purchase something that doesn't break when a fly lands on it.

Does anyone know where/who I can sell my phone to? Everything works besides the touchscreen- there's not a scratch or smudge anywhere on the phone (it has a protective casing over the screen so it can't be scratched or smudged). It simply has a crack along the phone and I can't use the touchscreen.

Edit: I just found a site called Glyde.com and I was able to post my LG G2 for $50 with it's current condition. Hopefully I will get more details if someone is interested.
In the meantime, has anyone ever heard of Glyde.com?
Compared to the other sites it wasn't bad. I could only find $5-15 or $35.


I'm getting sick of smartphones nowadays. I mainly use the internet and obviously calling/texting for communication. I keep seeing everyone around me trying to get the newest smartphones and every time I ask them they don't have a clue why. I just don't understand it. Why do people feel they must have the latest technology/upgrades if there are cheaper, better, and more fitting alternatives???

I think I will be looking for a phone that's durable and can withstand a simple fall in the future.

Extra info for those curious:

I broke my LG G2 for the second time. The first time was because the phone was so damn big it barely fit in my pocket. Simply getting out of my truck caused it to fall to the ground and because it's such a delicate, fragile little device it of course cracked. It was hardly anything, just a simple crack across the screen but it still prevented me from using the entire touch screen.

After throwing $150 repair + $50 otterbox I've managed to keep it alive the last several months but the otterbox only prevents the phone from being damaged when falling on any side except the screen. It hardly fell a couple feet but because it landed on the screen it of course cracked and now the entire touch screen doesn't work.

Sounds about right for a phone with a broken screen. Sites like that do often lowball you though, and you may get a slightly higher price if you were to try to sell it on eBay, craigslist, or someplace similar. What you lose out on in terms of money when using these sites, you get back in the form of convenience and time/effort.

Alternatively, I know that a number of electronics retailers do buy up old and/or broken devices very cheaply, or offer some form of store credit towards purchasing something else. Might be something to look into, depending on what is available near you.

That's what I figured. Thanks for the info though.

Swappa is a wonderful place to buy and sell use phones, it doesn't have any hidden fees, it used to be just working phones with nothing that will affect the user's experience. They recently have introduced another section is the Boneyard.
Here you can sell many other things like;

• 
  Buy/Sell Phone/Tablet with cracked screen or water damage.
  Buy/Sell Replacement parts.
  Buy/Sell A Case or SD cards.
  Buy/Sell Phone that has been flashed for pre-paid carriers.
  Buy/Sell A portable Wi-Fi Hotspot.
  Buy/Sell An old feature phone.

You may NOT sell a lost or stolen device.

I suggest you read the about section and the rules section. I have provided both the links below.

How do you sell a lost device?

If you stole the device is one thing. But what if you come across and iPhone, and no one clams it? Are you going to keep that with you and wait forever or are you going to try make some cash.
