Other than wishing I would have gotten more than $196.00 for my iPhone 15 in EXCELLENT condition everything was great. Very easy to understand the instructions. I was in a very desperate situation and needed immediate money otherwise I would have sold the phone on Facebook getting at least $400 or more than the $196 from eco ATM.
