Sainsburys - buying your old electronics?

[Rob S]

Is it just me or did I see somehting in a Sainsburys store recently that said they will purchase your old Digital Cameras etc.? If so, does anyone have anymore details? Can't see anyhting on their website

[Shaw Tarse]

I've not seen this. Sony appear to be doing a scrappage scheme on old TVs?

£75 for my blackberry, I dont think I'll be bothering. They offered a whole £6 for my old Sony p990i, why would anyone waste theor time with this?

Probably...I got offer £15 for my current phone on this site, but on other 'we buy anything' type sites, I got offer £36

Probably linked to the WEEE regulations, pay someone a few quid to dispose of the item and get them to buy the replacement of them with the few quid they gave away factored into the price.

That's what I'm about to replace. Think I might have a look thanks

I see they're willing to give the grand total of £300 for a Canon 1d MkIII. I'ld easily pay four times that amount for one..

It will have dropped in value since, so please take that into account. However I would still think it would be in excess of £120.

If you send us anything that’s stolen or is part of an investigation, we’ll give it to the police.
And we won’t pay you for it.

I got £187 for mine last month from Cash In My Phone. Plus £4.50 from Quidco.

6 quid for a Nintendo DS? Sod that, whip it down to Blockbuster and they will give you much more than that for it! Depending on condition you should get 40 or so quid without too much problem. Phah, just recycling I think.

Thank you for this !

I had a battered N82 in the back of the sock drawer, it was unusable, kept crashing, couldn't hold charge for a day and the microphone was iffy.

Sent it from overseas (gave them my old UK bank account) and I'm just shy of 90 quid better off.
