Excellent customer service

Buyback surgeon was great to work with. I had just purchased a new phone and didn't want to deal with a private sale. They were able to provide a fair price. Once I accepted the offer, I received the money the next day. They have excellent customer service and are very responsive

Super easy and seamless experience

Super easy and seamless experience. The site walked me through the condition of the trade in, and I was honest and it held true to what I was paid out. Was a very quick and transparent process.

Honest Company

This company does business as advertised. Selling my extra phone was seamless and shipping was paid for by them. My money showed up in my Paypal account within 24hrs of them receiving my phone, and I got the full amount quoted to me.

10/10

10/10, these guys make it easy, don’t try and drop the price and are prompt with their service keeping you aware every step of the way. They pay 20% more than apple too and it’s cash $$. 2nd time using this service.

Very good service and price

Very good service and price. I sold a cracked screen iPad fully working and I checked everywhere and they would offer $0 for it. Buyback Surgeon offered me $23 which is little but anything is better than $0 and me throwing it away. Thank you for accepting my device and paying for it. Will use them in the future !

Sent them my old phone

Sent them my old phone, the process was seamless. They inspected it and sent payment super fast. Super fast communication when I had questions about my offer, payment, etc. as well! Would definitely recommend.

Apple is a better deal

I don't use a laptop much so I decided to sell my Macbook Air and use the proceeds to buy an iPad. I sent my Air to Buyback and it's condition was downgraded more than I thought reasonable. As I would learn from a very unhappy Service Rep, voicing an opinion that was not what he wanted was not acceptable.

Even though I agreed to the reduced price, the Rep was so angry that he shipped my Air back. Good news is Apple paid me significantly more and now I own a new iPad.

Hi Bill,
I’m sorry things didn’t go as smoothly as you’d hoped. I wanted to explain why your MacBook Air didn’t meet the "Like New" condition. To qualify, the device needs to look and function like it just came out of the box—no scratches, no dirt, no smells (like cigarette smoke), and no refurbished parts. During our evaluation, we found marks, dirt, had been refurbished, and a strong odor of cigarette smoke. It was requoted to the next condition. I attached your pictures below.
While we tried to contact you via phone call, you were not willing to communicate to our staff. In the end, we returned your MacBook Air to you at no charge to close the matter.
As a company, we need to ensure that every device we purchase meets the expectations of the next customer. When a device doesn’t meet the advertised condition, it impacts our ability to resell it. It’s also important to note that we provide cash payments, unlike Apple, which only offers store credit.

Stellar Customer Service

I had an excellent experience with buyback surgeon when I sold my Apple iPad Pro 4th generation 128GB. Not only did I receive the most money compared to other services, but the customer service was outstanding. They went above and beyond to accommodate all my needs, making the process smooth and hassle-free. The team was prompt, professional, and always available to answer my questions. I highly recommend buyback surgeon if you’re looking to sell your electronics for a fair price and excellent service!

Good service

Update (1-8-25) I was contacted by Buyback Surgeon company and the owner of the company has taken care of this. After talking to him, it's looking like a USPS employee may have cut the tape and removed the phone. Again, Jason has taken care of this for me so changing the rating to 5 stars. He noticed this is a one-off issue and usually phones don't go missing. Thanks Jason!

Extremely Disappointed

On Tuesday, December 31, 2024, I received a prepaid USPS Ground Advantage shipping label from BuyBack Surgeon to sell my iPhone 13 Pro for $196. The phone was in great working condition, only needing a minor repair for the camera lens.

I carefully packaged the phone in a certified smartphone box from Apple, securing it with shipping tape, and shipped it promptly. USPS tracking confirmed that BuyBack Surgeon received the package on January 4, 2025.

However, shortly after, I received an email from BuyBack Surgeon stating:

"We received your box opened with nothing inside. Check with your local Post Office if the device fell out or if there is a device missing in the route your package traveled."
