Selling your used Smartphone to a store or online experience

Hello,
I am looking at selling a couple old smartphones that I have laying around.

Does anyone have any experience with GoRecell?
They are based in Quebec and it looks like you ship your phone to them and they pay you.

They seem to have a lot of good reviews, but not sure if they are all legit or made up.

Please share your experience with them or if you have another store or business you recommend, please share.
I am located in the GTA.

Thanks!

I have used Orchard a few times with good results. They are based in Toronto. Actually, I've been to their office downtown and basically (at least at the time) they were just a group of people renting out part of a shared workspace, so it's clear they're a pretty small outfit, but nonetheless the selling process is pretty smooth. Their phone checker app is pretty slick.

My transactions with them were only with iPhones though. Since several years ago they have dealt with Android phones too, but I can't really comment on the experience selling Android phones to them since I've never done that. However, I do know they only take specific Android phones.

BTW, in the distant past I have sold an Android phone to a BuyNCell brick-and-mortar store, and I was not really impressed. Overall the transaction was fine, but it had kind of a sketchy feel to it.

P.S. This is in the wrong forum.

Thanks for your feedback. Really helpful. Just realized there was a Cell Phone sub-forum. How do I move this post to there?
