Anyone who does not remember old mobile phones does not know how fast this technology industry is developing. A dozen or so years ago, the touch screen was a real novelty. However, obsolete ones can still be useful for something. Some models can cost a real fortune.
Why can old cells be valuable? There are several reasons
If you keep old models of phones in one of the tightly closed cabinets, be sure to check if you can make money from them. Some mobile phones can cost up to several thousand zlotys. But who wants these devices? Usually, potential buyers are divided into two groups: collectors and important people, trying to protect their data in every way. In the case of the former, the condition of the equipment matters. Value drops drastically if ever taken out of the box. A packed and factory-new phone from years ago is an extremely rare, but also a valuable product.
When it comes to important personalities, it must be admitted that the old Nokia or Motorola is much more difficult to hack than today’s phones. Devices, due to their age, are not able to connect to the Internet, thus they are protected against remote attacks. The only way to get to their owner’s data is to steal the equipment.
What old phones cost a fortune? You can make money on these models
The price of outdated mobile phones depends on several . These include cultural issues as in the case of the Nokia 8810. The device gained immense popularity thanks to its appearance in the “Matrix” series. For this reason, unpackaged equipment today can cost even more than three thousand euros, i.e. about 14 thousand. zlotys.
Another reason why old cells are gaining in value is their rarity. The Motorola DynaTAC 8000x was the first patented telephone of this type. It first appeared on the market on March 13, 1984. Today, finding this device on the market is almost a miracle. The starting price for good quality equipment oscillates around four thousand euros.
The real classic among the old phones is undoubtedly the Nokia 3310. This “armored” equipment was the source of many jokes about its indestructibility. This device was known all over the world – more than 126 million copies were sold. The once popular cell phone (in its original packaging) can cost up to PLN 1,200 today.
