Frequently asked questions
Why is my trade-in value lower than private market prices?
Trade-ins prioritize speed, safety, and convenience. While private sales may yield more, they involve time, risk, and uncertainty. Our system is built to offer strong, realistic value without the hassle.
Is my quote guaranteed?
Quotes are subject to final approval after inspection. We reserve the right to decline any trade-in if it does not meet our criteria.
What happens if the market price changes?
If you ship within the 7-day quote window, we honor your quoted price even if the market shifts.
What if my item arrives damaged?
If damage is due to poor packaging, the offer may be reduced. If you decline the revised offer, return shipping would be your responsibility.
