Ive been using buyback world for years to sell my IT equipment, tablets and old cell phones to. They are reliable and provide a fair price for buy back. They have paid me each time for whatever I sell. Make sure to choose paypal as you get paid faster.

I had never used BuyBackWorld for my…

I had never used BuyBackWorld for my used electronics sales before, but decided to try them out and sell a MacBook Air and a MacBook Pro. Both were in perfect working condition when I sent them valued at ~$100 each. I received failure of inspections on both with low ball offers of $30. I was told that the Air no longer turned on. The Air absolutely did turn on and was used without issue up until shipping to BuyBackWorld... I gave benefit of the doubt that I could have incorrectly 'wiped' it causing an inexperienced technician some difficulties, so I accepted the offer and let it go. However, today I received another $30 offer for the Pro! This time it was for a supposed 'defective battery with scratches/dents on housing'. The Pro never had a single issue, and I don't recall any denting/scratches. This computer was used infrequently and taken very well care of in an office. Regardless, how is a computer that 'won't turn on' worth the same as one that 'needs a new battery'? I find it difficult to trust that either of these inspections were in good faith in hindsight, but particularly the Pro. I accepted their offers but will not be selling electronics to BuyBackWorld ever again.

Great Experiences with BuyBackWorld

I have used BuyBackWorld numerous times to sell electronics that my family is no longer using. Their process is very easy and I have never had an issue. 5 Stars all the way. It's a great way to recoup some money for things that are just laying around your house collecting dust. I highly recommend them!
