What is Trade in?

A trade in service means the retailer takes your old device and counts its value towards the purchase, so you pay the difference rather than the full price. It is worth weighing when an old phone or laptop still works, because the credit comes off the new order straight away. Adorama, asgoodasnew, ASUS and Back Market all take trade ins, while Akkuk.hu does not. A shopper holding a device to hand over can set Akkuk.hu aside, since the offer has to come from somewhere.
