iPhone 12 give and take - negotiable buyback

GT offered me a certain price for my iPhone 12 and paid for postage for me to send the iPhone. After they received I got an email stating there was damage and offered a lot less than the promised price. Therefore I clicked in the email to return the iPhone since Apple offered me more, though not as much as GT. Shortly thereafter I received a voice mail from them to discuss. I called back and spoke to Joe who said he was the owner. He inspected the iPhone while on the call, said it looked OK and offered me the original price. I received an email that a check would be forthcoming in 7-10 days. It took 2 weeks but I received the check so everything worked out.

Worth working with.

Well there were some issues I faced through the process but in the end the owner of the company actually spoke with me on this. He straightened things out even went above and beyond to make things right, and I got payment within a week.

If I had anything to say for improvement would be a better tracking program through each step.

They are legit and good people. Plus paid more than anyone else.

Best out there.PERIOD

It was the easiest process ever. The hardest thing was waiting for it to get there via mail. They called when they received to confirm everything and it was more than I even expected. They are the best hands down. No contest

Crooks

Crooks. Sent in a new condition phone and they clamed it was "good" and locked to the wrong carrier (it wasn't) and tried offering me 75$.

Good evening, we are not crooks. You mistakenly selected your carrier as "AT&T", but your device is actually locked to "Cricket Wireless", which has a significantly lower value. We agreed with you that the phone is in "Like New" condition and offered you $1 more than the highest current offer on www.sellcell.com as a courtesy to you in an effort to give you the highest dollar value for your phone available online today. Please feel free to call me on our customer service line at 209.499.1735 if you'd like to further discuss and/or I can send screen shots proving that your phone is locked to Cricket. Thank you, JH

Non payment

Received an email on July 8 about the condition of the iphone I sent them. Bait and switch on the price I was offered originally. I accepted the amended payment offer and expected to receive a check in the next 7-10 days. Today is August 8 and I still have no check, no email reply and they are not answering phone calls. This place is awful at communicating and not truthful.

Hello, I apologize for the delay. We had a glitch in our system with the third party check processing company we use. This error has been corrected, but the check(s) are expected to be mailed by Wednesday 8/14 if it hasn't gone out already. Alternatively, we can pay by Venmo or PayPal immediately and cancel the check that will be automatically sent out this week if you'd prefer. Please call our customer service line at 209.499.1735 to further discuss.

Difference of opinion

I originally sent my iPhone to them categorized as in good condition. Upon receipt, they said it was in minor damage condition and significantly lowered their offer. After discussions, we agreed that a payment for fair condition was fair to both parties,
The company was professional and courteous in their discussions with me. They seem like good people.

I sent our device to them and they did a bait-n-switch with their offer

I sent our device to them with an "offer" of $166. After almost 2 months, we finally got a response saying that the device was not in good condition and that their new offer was now $42. And if we don't accept that, it would be $25 to send it back. I told them to send it back. Luckily I took about 5 pictures of the phone before we mailed it, wrapped in bubble wrap and a heay box. We'll see what comes back.
