Upgrade to a new Samsung smartphone and get paid for your old device

Samsung is making you an offer that you could refuse, but might not want to. Purchase a new Samsung Galaxy S III, Samsung Galaxy S II, Samsung GALAXY Note or any new Samsung smartphone and the Korean based manufacturer will purchase your old handset. The logistics are rather simple. Get a quote for your old phone by filling out the form on Samsung's Facebook page. The questions asked by Samsung to determine the price they will pay you for your old model are what you might expect. Is the screen cracked, does the device work, etc. If you're happy with the price, go out and make the purchase of your new Samsung smartphone and then send in your old phone to Samsung within 30 days with a copy of the receipt.  After that, you just sit back and receive your check. Any model of smartphone is being accepted.

While the entire process is rather simple, there is a drawback. The money you get for your old handset from Samsung is not as much as you would get arranging a private transaction, but it is a lot easier. Even if you purchased your new Samsung smartphone 30 days ago, along as you have the proof of purchase, you can still take advantage of the deal. Depending on the condition of your old handset, your could receive as much as $300 for it.
