Cyber Monday Super Sale

• Functionality: Is your current phone lacking more modern features, like mobile wallets and facial recognition? Take a look at what newer phones have to offer and figure out which features you'd like and which ones are just extra.
• Price: Of course, your budget is a major factor in determining which phone to buy. This is where used phones come in handy. They're much more affordable than their new counterparts, and many will come down by several hundred dollars or more — just be sure to buy from a trusted seller like Gazelle with protections like guaranteed functionality and a 30-day hassle-free turn policy.
• Value: Some phones hold their value better than others. If you're planning on selling your phone when you're done with it, you may want to look at Black Friday iPhone deals. iPhones are known for retaining their value well. Still, there are a lot of Black Friday Android deals in the mid- and low price ranges that offer lower upfront costs.

• Condition: What kind of condition are you expecting from your phone? If you want to save even more and don't mind a few aesthetic problems, like minor scratches or dings, you could snag a phone that's in Good or Fair condition. If you use a phone case, you can often hide the damage completely.

Tips for Shopping for a Phone on Black Friday

Black Friday is a unique opportunity, but knowing what to expect can help you get the best deals and more bang for your buck. Below are some of our tips for getting the best Black Friday phone deals:

• Don't wait too long to buy. Many phone deals are only valid while supplies last. While it can be tempting to continue waiting and see if a new deal pops up, some sellers will only have the price available while they have the phones in stock. Be careful when gambling on a better price, especially if you're looking at a popular phone that's likely to sell out quickly.
• If you're buying a holiday gift, consider buying on Black Friday instead of in December. Shipping delays are expected this year, so if you need to order your phone, getting a head-start in November offers more wiggle room for transit delays.
• Watch for contracts. Many Black Friday deals offered will be tied to a contract. Phone carriers often drop the price of the phone, but you'll be required to stay with that carrier while you pay off the phone over time, usually two years. If you don't want to use these carriers or deal with an extra cost to your bill, make sure you review the terms of the deal carefully so you know what you're getting into. Keep in mind that Gazelle's phones are free of contracts.
• Don't forget about the rest of the week. Remember, Black Friday isn't the only time for these deals, especially after the last few years. Sales often span the entire week, and many retailers are upfront about how long the deals will last. They typically start posting ads in early November.
• Don't think you need to shop in-person. Many sellers have decided to make their in-store deals available online, too, so you can avoid facing the crowds. Online shopping may have an even more significant advantage this year, because those shipping delays could also lead to more empty shelves — 64% of retail executives are worried about not receiving their inventory on time.
