Introduction
Selling your old cell phone for cash is great for you and helpful to our environment.  The United States alone discards more than 130 million cell phones annually.  Most of these phones end up in drawers or closets.  Others end up in our landfills where mercury and other hazardous chemicals leak into our water supply.  Cell phones as well as other quickly discarded electronics like laptops and cameras represent an opportunity for you to make a sincere difference in our environment while padding your wallet.

Why Should I sell my Cell Phone?
Because you want money.  You want to do something simple to save the environment.  Did we mention that you wanted money?  Consistently selling your cell phone when you upgrade is one of the best ways to make your life more efficient.  When you work with a company like Bewoop who pays top dollar for your used cell phone, you'll find the upgrade price with your carrier much easier to swallow.  In fact, many times you'll be able to upgrade at no cost when you factor in your sale to Bewoop.  For example, let's say you've decided to upgrade to the iPhone 4 from Verizon.  You current have the Droid Incredible, but you've been dreaming about the day Apple would finally give Verizon customers the pleasure of using iPhones.  

OK, I want to sell my cell phone....What do I do?
The first thing you are going to want to do when you decide to sell your cell phone is find the right company to sell it to.  There are probably hundreds of online companies out there who are willing to buy your cell phone, but there are only a few reputable ones.  A couple of things you should look at - Are they A rated with the Better Business Bureau?  Do they have good reviews online?  Are people saying good things about them?  Do they have good customer service?  How does their website look - do they pass the eyeball test?  

Of course, you should also spend some time comparing prices between the various online companies.  You'll be able to make a decision after browsing around the web for 10-20 minutes.  Sell your phone to the company that looks and sounds the best to you.  I would also consider sending an email to you chosen company after you place your order.  Ask them a simple question, and see how long their response time is.  If they get back with you quickly and speak good English:), they're probably a pretty solid group.  Of course, I have to give Bewoop a plug - we're all of these things.  We're good people, hard workers and we want your business!

Things to watch out for when selling to those other guys
Selling a cell phone can take place in a variety of places other than Bewoop.  We hope you'll work with us, but in case you're more adventurous or have some extra time that you would like to spend trying to squeeze a the last few bucks out of your cell phone, we want to help you.  We're so nice, right?

Okay, as we see it, if you're not going to sell your cell phone/smartphone on Bewoop, then there are only a few other places to sell your cell phone.  Each place has it's own group of caveats.  The caveat for selling your phone on Bewoop is that you're not going to get as much money as you could selling it somewhere else.  It is easy, fast, definitive, stress free, etc... 

Non-Bewoop Option #1
The first place I would look if you didn't want to sell your cell phone on Bewoop would be Craigslist.  With Craigslist you can market your item locally, and you'll probably get a good retail value for it so long as your phone is a recent make and model - a desirable phone.  Some good examples for phones that would sell well on Craigslist would be any late model Blackberry - Blackberry Bold 9700, Blackberry Bold 9000, Blackberry Bold 9780, Blackberry Tour, and even some of the older Blackberry Curve models.  Other models might include the various iPhone models (iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 3G) and the hot Android cell phones made by HTC and Motorola.
