Good morning nairalanders,

I will be hitting the point, no digression. Phone business is actually growing faster than expected and am glad second hand phone selling is also not left behind.
There is a common norm that is taking the Internet phone market place now "swapping of mobile phones. Swapping business is such a lucrative one.

Swapping is a way of exchanging your high end device to a low one while the receiving person add cash to his or her device or vice versa. Going by this trend, swappers sometimes don't know the value of the phones releasing or being swapped for. Hence the essence of my post.

Few factors should are considered befor swapping

1. Neatness of the device
2. Functionality
3. Physical amenities such as fingerprint
4. Features of the device.
5. Initial manufacturer's price
6. Duration of usage.

So, next time you are swapping, seek for the above information befor you release your device.

I will be doing some comparison on devices spec and price with screen shot making reference to Konga and jumia selling prices. So u know the value of ur phone before you get played by swappers.
