Hello Mr. Goldfinger!
What do companies do with phone trade-ins?
They refurbish them, selling as a second hand, dismantle for parts on some models etc. Recycle others for the metals out of them.
If they’re in decent condition, i know some stores use them as loan phones when a customers phone is being repaired
Whatever they do, they make good money from them.
