Google Pixel 6a Unlocked 5G Smartphone for $149 Shipped with Trade-in

I haven't had a good experience with Google. They bait you with an estimated trade-in value on your phone. If you don't accept the new value of the phone, once they inspect it, you don't get the anticipated credit and you pay full price for the phone. If it sounds too good to be true, it is. Unless your phone is in absolutely perfect, blemish-free condition, don't expect the credit.

If you are lucky, you can get your tradein accepted with in a week, however, mine was received by Google in Aug 5 and still have not received any refund. Good luck finding a cheap trade in now.

Fine print for the trade-in

Buy Pixel 6a and get up to $300 back with eligible phone trade-in. Starting on Aug 8, 2022 at 12:00am PT and ending on September 24, 2022 at 11:59pm PT. Trade-in values vary based on condition, year, and configuration of your eligible device, and are subject to change upon inspection. Credit card refund available only on a card used to purchase the Pixel phone. Phone trade-in credit will be issued as a refund back on the credit card used for the phone purchase at Google Store or in the form of Store Credit if the purchased phone has already been returned. Refund is based on (and paid after) phone received matching the description provided at time of estimate and will be issued to form of payment used for order. Phones sent for trade-in must be received within 30 days of initiation of trade-in process, provided the purchased device has not been returned during that time.

iPhone 7 can be found for around $60-80 on Mercari or eBay which I think is a better value if you are buying to trade-in.
