Recently I upgraded from the iPhone 4 to the galaxy s3. I took my phone around to a few places. One guy said he'd give me $150 right there. I wasn't ready to give it up yet so i walked away. I ended up shipping my iPhone off to cashforlaptops or cashforiphones.com they have many names. They quoted my phone at $150 also. I got my prepaid shipping label and mailed off my phone. Over a week later, I finally got a phone call. That was today, here's how it went.
"We'll offer you $70"
::taken off guard:: "that's not happening, they quoted it at $150, I'm counting on that money if that's all you have to offer, i was told i can have it shipped back. Go ahead and do that, I will take it somewhere else for cash."
"Well i can understand that, but those places you take it to will only offer you store credit, tell you what, I'll give you $90."
"I wasn't aware we're haggling here. Also not happening, just ship the phone back to me, I'll take it to a store."
"Well the store is only going to offer you store credit, this is cash."
"No sir, you have a check the guy at the flea market had cash"
"Even if i send the phone back it's going to be another 7-10 days and who knows what it'll be worth by then... i can have this $90 in your pay pal account by tomorrow"
Let me stop now and let you know this guy has now made it clear he's NOT shipping my phone back to me. So now it became a debate of him ripping me off. In the end, he offered me $95 in a check that he will mail to me and being as flustered and angry as i was, i took the deal.
Hindsight is 20/20 ladies and gentlemen, never use cashforlaptops.com cashforiphones.com or ANY of it's local affiliates. They have a nice facade, make themselves look top of the market, but in the end, they deceive and scam. I wish I had never taken my phone to them, and now I will never get it back. Don't fall for the same trick I did. And definitely do NOT use this business.
Just one persons opinion.
