Trade In Old Phones at Best Buy

With the release of the Motorola Triumph, you might want to trade in your old Virgin Mobile phone. If you plan on it, here are the estimated amounts offered by Best Buy via their Best Buy Trade-In program.

Note: I estimated all of these numbers via Best Buy’s web calculator and with the default options; none of the options were altered.

The old LG Rumor Touch can still take the bite of tax off in most areas coming in at an estimated $36.

Gift Card Value: $36.00
Mail Check Value: $24.00

The iky Intercept is still work something after; the trade-in value of $53 – certainly that will pay for a huge chunk.

Gift Card Value: $53.00
Mail Check Value: $35.00

Sumsung Intercept - Trade In

The good ol’ BlackBerry 8530 isn’t too bad either, coming in at just over $60.

Gift Card Value: $63.00
Mail Check Value: $41.00

Finally, although you may not want to part with your precious LG Optimus V, it might just be worth it. Coming in at a value of nearly $70, it’s a huge chunk of that initial Triumph investment.

Gift Card Value: $72.00
Mail Check Value: $47.00

$70 for the LG Optimus V trade in at Best Buy

You should be able to trade in your old phone at Best Buy in person, get your card and then promptly turn around and buy an awesome phone. I would lower every estimated price by just 10% or so and keep in mind that I changed no settings in the calculator. You should really try it for yourself.

Happy trading!

I checked this numbers yesterday. I wouldn’t be surprised if this numbers quickly changed over the coming weeks as more people turn in their old Virgin Mobile phones.
