They made it so easy to sell my phone. I was not sure about sending through the mail or if they would hold up their end of the agreement, but they did. It was fast and painless.

I've bought a few devices from them. They have a good quality control and fair pricing. Highly recommend!

This company is one of the most dishonest, unprofessional, cunning, decieving, companys i have ever dealt with. They stole my brand new SAMSUNG GALAXY S9 in what was supposed to be an agreement for them to pay me for my phone once they recieved it, and they provided a prepaid shipping label and I put it on and shipped it out via ups and tracked it until they recieved it. Well 3 weeks go by with no attempt to pay me, and long story short it's been almost 2 months and I have not recieved a dime for my phone they stole from me who trusted them to fulfill our agreement yet they have emailed me back and forth over 20 times and in every new email is a new lie and made up excuse about how they dont have it even though ups confirmed they in fact recieved it and just lie after lie after lie they jacked me succesfully, and I am out a brand new phone and any money I could have got for selling it elsewhere... I ABSOLUTELY WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND GOING ANYWHERE NEAR THESE CROOKS AND TAKE YOUR BUSINESS TO ONE OF THEIR BETTER KNOWN COMPETITORS WHERE I HAVE SOLD 3 PHONES TO THEM AND ALWAYS GOT PAID IMMEDIATELY! TRUST ME IT'S A HORRIBLE AND STUPID FEELING FINDING OUT I GOT CONNED AND STOLEN FROM BUYBCKWORLD, BUT I HOPE WITH THIS REVIEW IT COULD SAVE OTHERS FROM HAVING THE SAME THING HAPPEN TO THEM. BUYBACKWORLD IS DESPICABLE.

Edit, 4-18-23: Another great experience. Sent them 2 old iPods. Fair price, no hassles, quick payment. They gave me a fair quote for my 160 GB iPod Classic. They emailed at every step of the way- receipt, inspection, and payment. They paid the full amount quoted, and did it with 2 days of inspection. Quick and hassle-free transaction. Looking thru my old Gmails, I see they also bought my used Tivo a few years back. Paid 3 days after inspection. I should have given them a good review then. Belated thumbs up!

I do not recommend using BuyBackWorld for brand new, still wrapped in cellophane items. I sent in 2 Apple pencils in good faith, and they sent a revised offer stating the pencils weren’t in the condition (brand new) the offer was based upon. When I asked why they weren’t considered brand new, as they were still sealed in cellphone, they sent photos as “proof” that the items were not in brand new condition. The photos were taken *after* BBW had removed the cellophane, opened the boxes, and tested the pencils’ functionality (upon return, they both have stickers saying they are 100% functional). The offer and shipping process is super easy, but the Apple pencils are now worth significantly less because BBW removed the cellophane.

I had an offer for a used phone for $75. The phone was very lightly used and sent to them in the original packaging. The phone had no marks and was fully functional. After sending the phone to them, they dropped the offer to $50. Very poor and misleading business practices.

I sent a cellphone that I never used in its original box because BuyBackWorld sent me an estimate of $10 for my phone. I received a check for 25 cents.

I haven't read reviews regarding sending them graphics cards or computer parts so I thought I'd leave one here so maybe I can save the next person from wasting their time. I used their website and got a quote for $160 for a 5700 XT. Thought that was a fair price so they can make money and I get some cash. Printed the label and shipped the card to them. All is well until a week later when they came back with a $60 offer because during their test the card was faulty.... "A faulty GPU/Video Chip (blank green screen randomly appears) computer needs to restarts to go normal boot-up) GPU starts to overheats for a short period we run benchmark." I rejected their revised offer and got the card shipped back. Once I have it back, installed it and ran 3DMARK Fire Strike Extreme with zero issues. Score results: Graphics : 12,789 Physics : 34,984 Combined : 5,299 Card temp saw max of 76 and averaged 66 during the benchmark. Benchmark was ran at 1080p. Never had any green screen issue or had to reboot for any reason. Its also odd to me that if the card during their test was faulty but yet still made me a revised offer to buy a broken card. This seems pretty clear that they lure you in with a fair price on their site and once they receive your item, they revise it.
