Why Clifton Locals Sell Their Phones to Phone Craft
Selling online to Music Magpie, Mazuma or CeX sounds easy — until they slash the quote on arrival, post your phone back, or pay you a fortnight later. We’re a physical Bristol shop, just a 12-minute walk or one bus stop from Clifton Triangle, so you deal with a real person, not a postal label.
Here’s why people across BS8 choose us first:
- Higher prices than online buyback sites — we cut out the postage, packaging and middleman costs
- Instant cash or bank transfer — pick whichever suits you, paid before you leave
- No haggling, no surprise deductions — your online quote is the price you get, provided the device matches your description
- We buy broken, cracked and faulty devices — most shops won’t touch them; we will
- Five minutes from the U1 bus stop — straight down Park Street, off at The Centre, two minutes’ walk to our door
- Rated 4.9★ on Google and Trustpilot by hundreds of Bristol customers

Why Selling to a Local Bristol Shop Beats Online Buyback Services
| Phone Craft (Bristol) | Online buyback (Mazuma, CeX, Music Magpie, etc.) | |
|---|---|---|
| Quote accuracy | What you see is what you get | Often reduced after “inspection” |
| Payment speed | Instant — cash or bank transfer same day | 3–10 working days after device arrives |
| Return if rejected | Walk out with your device the same minute | Re-posted, can take 2 weeks |
| Broken phone offers | We pay for parts value | Many refuse or offer £1 |
| Face-to-face trust | Real shop, real people, real reviews | No accountability if quote drops |
| Postage risk | None — you keep your device until paid | Lost-in-post is your problem |
Selling locally in Bristol simply makes more sense — you save the hassle, keep control of your device, and walk away with real money the same day.
We Buy Broken & Cracked Phones in Clifton Too
Cracked iPhone screen? Battery on the way out? Water damage from a Harbourside night out? Don’t bin it — we’ll still make you a reasonable offer.
Common broken devices we buy for parts and refurbishment:
- iPhones with smashed screens, dead batteries, Face ID issues, or rear glass damage
- Samsung Galaxy phones with green-line screens, broken cameras, or charging port faults
- iPads and MacBooks with cracked displays or liquid damage
- Phones that won’t switch on (we can often diagnose for free)
The only devices we can’t buy are: network-blocked or blacklisted handsets, iCloud/Google-locked devices, and laptops with MDM or BIOS locks. Everything else is fair game.

Before you set off from Clifton, make sure you’ve:
- Factory reset your device (Settings → General → Transfer or Reset)
- Signed out of iCloud, Google, Samsung Account and Find My iPhone
- Brought a valid photo ID — UK driving licence or passport
- Brought the charger and box if you still have them (often boosts your offer)
Forgotten the password to your Apple ID? Bring the phone anyway — we can guide you through the reset on the spot.
