Is Gadget Gobbler Stealing? Or A Fraud?
I sent my device in on the 2nd. of June, 2015, and got an updated message on June 9th. 2015, that my order was processing. And that is when it stopped. There has been no contact or updates from this company since. The shame about this is that I am a disabled veteran, who could use the money right now, and even after phone calls, and emails, there is nothing! I had used this company previously, last november, and even though it took a month, I got paid. But as of today, I am concerned that I have gotten ripped off! And now, I am wondering if I could even get my phone back! It is a good condition phone, droid maxx, witrh small defects! I do have a order number, so can someone please help?

Would not recommend
They were very slow on paying. I finally told them to just send my old phone back to me. Right after I said that they paid me. I was worried for several days that I had made a big mistake by going with them.

Hi Deloris,
I am sorry to hear that your charger was not returned to you along with your cell phone. I can see from our records that your order was placed on March 20th.
Our website only compares the prices that are on offer from trusted and established cell phone recycling companies, we don't handle the cell phones, returns or payments ourselves. The transaction takes place directly between you and the recycler you selected from our site.
I have just spoken to the recycler directly and they say that the cell phone was never sent in to them. I shall email you directly now to try to get this matter resolved.
Kind regards

Did Not Sell A Cell Phone to Sell My Cell Phones
I did not submit a cell phone to Sell My Cell Phones in 2015. If I indeed initiated an order, I utilized another merchant that had much better terms and pricing structures.

Great Service.
I sold 2 Samsung S3 phones & 1 Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 tablet. Got the fair price requested. Super-fast payment received via PayPal. I highly recommend this company, they are fair and honest.

Phone selling is not easier!
A great company to do business with. Fast. They even paid me more than the phone quote, upon their inspection!

Smooth and easy
The entire transaction of selling my old sell phone was smooth and easy. The funds were deposited in my account as advertised. I was looking at another company that said they could sell my phone for almost retail. Big suprise, when it came to actually offering me money, they were less than I got for my phone here. Don't slide into a company that shows you big numbers then gives you peanuts.
