Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 6,042 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers truly love how fast and remarkably simple the entire selling process is, noting that payments are safely sent directly to their personal bank accounts on the very same day the items arrive. Reviewers frequently praise the consistently helpful communication, competitive pricing, and the convenient free postage labels provided for securely sending devices. However, some customers also noted that their initial price offers were unexpectedly and significantly reduced following the physical device inspection stage. People felt particularly frustrated when receiving much lower final quotes due to alleged minor scratches or missing accessories.

Unethical Dishonest Not Trusted

This company is an absolute joke. They dangled £250 in front of me, then suddenly “found” a battery issue and crashed the offer to £120. Then — like magic — the price crept up to £150, then £165. It’s blatant manipulation. They know exactly what they’re doing, squeezing every penny out of people and hoping you’ll just accept it.

And to top it off, I sent my device in its original pristine box. When they sent the phone back, the box had mysteriously vanished. That’s real money lost on a private sale — and they clearly don’t care.

Shady pricing, missing items, and behaviour that screams “we’re skimming off customers.”
Avoid these scammers. They are not to be trusted.

Very easy selling process. I received the payment within a few hours of the company receiving my phone, and they did not try to reduce the price. The price was very fair compete to other companies I received quotes from.

Strip it all back its a scam

Strip it all back its a scam, originally offered 250, dropped to 120 then through ‘negotiation’ was raised to 180, further to this device was sent in original box and returned without it. Avoid.

I had received a quote to sell my…

I had received a quote to sell my iPhone 12 to this company and sent the phone to them by registered/recorded delivery. Since sending it, I have had no contact or response from the company.

I was never sent a confirmation email or any communication details, so unfortunately, the only evidence I currently have is my proof of postage.

Has anyone experienced something similar or can anyone advise me on what I can do to trace the company or recover my phone/payment?

Please only comment or contact me if you have written evidence or genuine information that may help. I would really appreciate any advice.
