How to Sell a Samsung Tablet: A Complete Guide

 

Have you just upgraded to a new device or simply don't use your current Samsung tablet as much anymore? Selling it can be an excellent way of topping up your budget. Selling a Samsung tablet is pretty straightforward, but to get as much out of the money you receive for your tablet while making sure the transaction flows smoothly, there are certain steps you should consider taking. In this guide, we take you by hand in a step-by-step process of selling Samsung online starting with preparing your device until you get the best platform and ship it for security.

 

1. Prepare Your Samsung Tablet for Sale

You need to prepare some few things before selling your Samsung tablet so that sale goes on without any hitch. This includes protection of all personal information besides making the device presentable to a buyer.

 

Backup and Erase Data

First and foremost, make sure that you have copies of any data you wish to keep. Samsung tablets enable you to synchronize the data with a Google account and a Samsung Cloud, and therefore, anything on your tablet can be very easily transferred to a new tablet in case it is needed later on. With your data secured by backing it up, you then proceed to do a factory reset on the tablet that completely deletes all your personal information. This way, you protect your privacy but also give the buyer a clean device.

 

Reset Samsung Tablet

 

Go on your Samsung tablet and follow the instructions below:

 

Tap Settings

Scroll down and tap General Management.

Tap Reset and then Factory Data Reset

Confirm your action, and that's it; all your data will be gone.

Clean Tablet

Presentation is also needed in selling electronics, and a clean tablet will have better impressions for the people who would purchase it. Using a microfiber cloth, rub down the screen and the rest of the tablet. If there are dust particles or debris stuck in the crevices such as the charging port or speakers, it can use a soft brush carefully.

Original Accessories and Packaging

The more complete the package you're offering for sale, the more value it will hold. Enclose any original box, charger, and other accessories with the tablet. Most buyers like to receive everything that's offered at one time. It makes your listing more attractive.

 

2. Condition and Price Quiz

The condition of your Samsung tablet determines much in terms of resale value. It is worth taking a moment to truthfully assess how the tablet looks and performs.

 

Determinants of Price

Model and Age: Newer models such as the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 will fetch a better price than older models such as the Tab S6 or Tab A.

Storage: The more the storage capacity, the more valuable the tablet. Value more of tablets with higher storage capacity, such as 128 or 256GB than those who have less storage capacity, like 32GB or 64GB.

Condition: Once you notice wear and tear on the screen or other cosmetic damage, sell it for a little less than a tablet in near-perfect condition.

Functional parts: Make sure that the tablet is fully functional, has a working touchscreen, good battery life, and a good Wi-Fi connection just like it should.

Compare Similar Listings

Pricing: Calculate the right selling price by comparing what other similar sellers offer for such Samsung tablets. You can browse through these platforms to have an idea of the sale price in other places. For instance, model, condition, or additional accessory a vendor may have added will require an adjustment in your price.

 

3. Right Platform

As you try to find a way to sell used Samsung tablets, there are a number of available places for you to check. Each has its pros and cons, so you have to make sure to find the one that best suits your needs.

ebay

Another online marketplace for second-hand electronics is eBay. You will be able to reach a massive target audience, and the auctions sometimes result in a higher selling price. On the other hand, the seller will have to pay listing fees and also share a part of the final sale with eBay; so you will need to factor this in as well with your selling price.

 

Swappa

Swappa is dedicated to a marketplace selling pre-owned electronics, including phones and tablets. Sell your Samsung tablet to a techie by using this alternative marketplace. All of the devices listed here at this website are assured to work; thus, buyers feel safe. Moreover, these fees are relatively less costly compared to eBay.

 

Facebook Marketplace

Facebook Marketplace is a good place to sell something locally. There's no fee charged, and you can meet the people directly whom you'll be selling to, saving you time on shipping. The only disadvantage is that Facebook's niche is not as specific as they are on platforms for those who really get technology, so it might take a little more longer before you find somebody who's interested.

 

Gazelle or Decluttr

If you just want ease over some extra money, there are websites like Gazelle or Decluttr that will give you a quick buyback for your old electronics. You probably won't get nearly as much from one of these services as you would selling directly to a buyer, but at least they make the process easy and painless. Send them your Samsung tablet and they'll give you an offer based on its condition.

 

4. Build a Detailed Listing

Now you have selected your online marketplace, create a listing for your Samsung tablet. Describe it in as much detail and honesty as you can. The more information you give and the clearer your description is, the more likely a buyer is to choose one from you, and the less chance you will have in case any dispute arises after a sale.

 

Title

Your title should state the most important information about the tablet, which are the model, the storage size, and the condition. For example:

"samsung Galaxy Tab S7 -128 GB - Excellent Condition."

 

Description

Describe more about the features on the tablet and any tear or damage on it. Be honest about its state in order to be trusted by any buyer. Is original box, charger, and other additional accessories with it, or not?

 

Pictures

Quality and clear images are the most important when selling electronics. Photograph the tablet from the front and back from different angles. Take pictures of any scratch or marks present. This will give a buyer an idea of what they are getting.

 

5. Ship the Tablet Safely

Now that you have sold your Samsung tablet, it is the perfect opportunity to pack it right so it does not get damaged in shipping. You must put the device in bubble wrap or foam and then pack this into a solid shipping box. It is a good idea to toss in some tracking and insurance so that you are confident about the transaction being completed smoothly.

 

Conclusion

The process of selling a Samsung tablet online is very straightforward and profitable if one takes their time to follow the right procedures. Get the device ready so that, at the very least, some interested buyers will be attracted to it, research the price of the device, and determine the best-selling platform. With a comprehensive listing and delicate packing, your tablet will quickly be on its way into a new home safely. Whether you want to upgrade to a new model of Samsung or you just need to declutter, selling a used Samsung tablet helps you earn some quick cash.
