Do not buy from them

"The item received was just in terrible shape and I let them know that as soon as I laid hands on it. it was partially open which required me to let a professional seal it, after which the team told me since I had had some repairs made on it they wouldn't take it back. the phone was overheating and lagged . in December it finally gave up on me requiring me to get a new one barely a year after purchasing this one. Attached is the review I left soon as I got the item and the receipt. a partial refund is fine in my opinion because nobody in their right mind will buy a $470 brick to be honest"

Don't trade in your phone with Gadget Gone

"I sent them a iPhone that was a year old and had been in a case with screen protectors the entire time. It was in perfect condition and I never had any problems with it. I almost didn't get the new iPhone because that phone was impeccable. I was very surprised to hear that upon their inspection, they said the main speaker did not work well and they were going to knock $300 off the price since it's "damaged". They stated they tested it using Voice Recorder. Well, I had often used voice recorder as well as speaker phone from across a room and knew it worked fine. They sent it back to me, and I promptly opened up Voice Recorder and it worked wonderfully. I don't know if it was a faulty test, or they have some impossible standard, but I have a feeling it was shady business practices. This experience with them was horrible, and I would not recommend them to anybody. I sent it to another phone trade in service once I got it back and it passed all their tests and I got the full amount paid for it. Trade in your phone somewhere else!"

First time selling devices this way, won't be my last!

"We wanted to safely sell our iPhones after upgrading and with COVID, doing it in person was really not something we felt safe doing. I searched through a number of different sites to find the best offer and GadgetGone had the best price for our phones by far. They provided a clear explanation of how much we would receive for our devices and how they evaluate their condition. Based on their guidelines I marked one device in "Fair" condition and the other in "Good" condition. I was expecting to receive a payment for the two devices based on those conditions. When they evaluated each device, they upgraded the condition on one device and increased their payment by $60.00. This was unexpected, as I had already figured the offer they gave us before sending in was fair. I was very pleased to get a few extra bucks, considering new devices are so expensive now. The payment process was smooth and we got our payment via PayPal. I think the only real drawback was that it took a few days longer for the process to complete than I had expected, but I really can't complain given the current situation in the country with COVID and lots of people sending in devices because they're upgrading to the latest models."

Better Than Anticipated

"A question arose during my transaction for 2 iPhones - The company owner himself took note, intervened, and resolved the issue and answered all questions to my complete satisfaction. This is business done the way it should be. Thank you."

Trustworthy and Professional

"Strong Values and trustworthiness.

This company has very strong values and is dedicated to making sure that customers are treated fairly. He is extremely trustworthy.

After initially sending in my phones and receiving a counter-offer based on the condition, I was extremely upset by the valuation of the phones submitted. The owner took time to speak on the phone the next morning and provide clarification.

I feel that he handled the situation well and we reached a mutual understanding/agreement on a fair offer.

Altogether, I would rate this company 5 stars based on their fairness and desire to conduct themselves as professional as possible. I now trust them, and would absolutely recommend them.

Great service and timely responses!

"Have had a great experience selling with this company. Great customer service and responses. Even when there was a backlog they kept me informed and got to it when they said they would, will definitely be doing business with this company again!"

Effortless process

"After researching sites to sell my iPhone SE I chose GadgetGone because they appeared to offer the most potentially for my phone. Once I contacted them and received my quote, I sent them my phone and had things wrapped up in a matter of days. I considered my phone to be flawless as I had it inside of an Ottorbox the entire time I owned it and did not see any blemishes on it so the offer from them was for $95. Upon their examination they sent me an e-mail and rated my phone as good and so was only worth $80. I accepted the offer as it was still more than other sites offered and the money was deposited in my PayPal account that afternoon.
Overall my experience with GadgetGone was very good and I would recommend them to anyone trying to sell an electronic device. I would suggest to them that they remove the "flawless" designation from their offers as the also have a designation of "like new" (or something to that affect) as my impression is that there is no difference in their eyes between to two designations. Nonetheless I am happy with the money I received and the service I experienced and will use them in the future if opportunity presents itself to do so.

SCAM

"I sent them a flawless iPhone. They said it was bent. I assure you it was not bent. The phone was perfect. It didn’t even have a scratch on it. I even sent it in the Apple box to be sure no damage happened during shipping. When I said no to their offer, they returned my phone, and it was bent. THEY BENT MY PHONE. I couldn’t believe it. Even the box I sent it in was sent back perfect. This place is just a scam. "

Amazing Experience!

"GadgetGone made the process of selling my used phone very easy. Out of the five other similar sites I compared, GadgetGone gave me the most for my phone. The printable echecks made it very easy and fast to get my money too. Within days after shipping my phone I had payment in hand. Definitely recommend! "

Quick and thorough!

"I received my money through PayPal very quickly. I forgot to wipe my devices before sending them, and they were very accommodating and patient while we resolved the issue over email. I recommend them for selling your old phones - they pay more than others I quoted and they take older devices than other companies as well."

Great experience

" This was my first time reselling an iPhone. I did a little research beforehand and found that GadgetGone was highly rated so I decided to give them a try. The whole experience was fast and easy. I received my payment via E check within a week of submitting the request. Any questions that I had were answered quickly initially via chat and then follow up emails. I would definitely recommend GadgetGone. "

Excellent Service

"I received an estimate for $35 for a used iPhone 5S everywhere else, but GadgetGone made it very easy to simply send in my phone at no extra cost to me and I received a check for $60 for the device. Thank you for making everything go as promised and pay more than anybody else. Excellent service and made good on every promise! Dr. Mike"

Skeptical at first, but turned out great!

"At first I was somewhat worried since they were a site that’s new and I’d never heard of them before, but they delivered as promised and are 100 percent legitimate. They gave me $130 for my iPhone SE which is more than anyone else was offering - they’re the real deal, don’t hesitate to sell with them!"

Outstanding service

"I am currently in the process of cycling over 400 iphones, after 'testing' out 5 online vendors, I have settled on CadgetGone for two solid reasons: 1. Speeding response and 2. Accurate assessment of my devices. They have made the sell process quick and painless. Every transaction with them has been completed in less then a week. Their assessment, when different from mine, has been justified and supported by photos and email correspondence. Prices are inline with other on-line services. Highly recommend them if your selling 1 or 100 devices "
