In times where the rate of inflation and more expensive overheads have put a tight grip on Swedes’ private finances, more and more people have turned to the second-hand market to buy and sell everything from technology, clothes and interior design.
Old mobile phones have received a particularly big boost recently.

The mobile phone was offered for over 10,000
In 2023 alone, old rarities such as push-button telephones were sold for much higher amounts than they were once purchased for.
The most expensive sale of a push-button telephone that took place brought in over SEK 10,000 for a seller after the bidding ended.
It was then about the Nokia N92, a mobile phone that was launched in 2005 and was one of the first smartphones to be launched on the market.
– The phone has a constant 30 second rolling recording function for instant playback and can record broadcasts to memory card. Elsewhere, the N92 was also advanced, with a large 2.8-inch screen, the largest at the time, dedicated multimedia buttons, 3G , Wifi , UPnP and a two-megapixel camera with flash, Tradera’s communications manager, Sofia Hagelinpreviously told to News24.

In addition to technology gadgets, there are many other things that are sold for large sums on buying and selling sites.
But when it comes to technology in particular, the sums tend to rise significantly much more than in other product categories at the tradera buying and selling site. It happened to a seller who advertised a console, with a classic game to say the least. The bottom line? It was written for an incredible 57,500 kroner.
The game in question is nothing less than The Legend of Zelda – A link to the past with the Zelda Gold Pack and the classic game console Super Nintendo.
Should you have a copy of the console or the game or even both at home, then it might be worth trying to advertise it for sale. Sofia Hagelin emphasizes that the buying interest is great.
– Just over 100,000 computer and video games changed hands during the last quarter, that’s 1,200 games a day. In computer and video games, PS4 sells the most, followed by Nintendo Switch, XBOX 360, Nintendo Wii and NES Nintendo 8-bit, she says and continues:
– The Xbox 360, Nintendo Switch and Skylanders categories are growing the most.
