I've used mazuma before. Sometimes not for the highest amount but they are suppsed to be the best of the bunch.

There's a comparison page on money saving expert site that compares them all for you to get the best price. Could be worth doing.

Used mazuma 3/4 times now. Always excellent service.

Get more money for the phones on ebay but its a pain in the arse really.

You prevent that from happening by sending recorded delivery, as they suggest
