Recycle or Sell: The base S21 is worth $80. Demand is low due to the plastic back. Sell now to get some cash back, as this model is rapidly approaching e-waste status.
When selling a Samsung Galaxy S21, it pays to check your options. Flipsy Trust Verified stores often pay 30-50% more than carrier and in-store trade in options, plus you get cash not store credit!
Please contact us with any questions.
At $80, this device is hovering near recycling value. Demand is low due to the plastic back and older processor. Sell now; there is no future appreciation potential here.
