Alright so I sent two phones about two months ago and iPhone 16 Pro Max and an iPhone 15 Pro same thing as all the other reviews they were in touch with me for a little bit saying that the phones are processing and then they offered me $260 which is half of what they said I would get I told them no answer my phone back and then I was just ghosted. I also never heard anything from my iPhone 16 Pro Max. This company is an absolute scam and I wouldn’t trust them if I were you.

If I could give a negative star rating I would. I sent a phone to them on February 17th, 2026. Had priority shipping add so it was $20 coming out of my buyback. And it has gone downhill from there. Excuses like the shipper lost your phone even though it showed delivered to them. Two weeks waiting for an investigation of where it was at. Said it was lost please be patient since they are losing money. Never returning my texts or calls or when they did it was let me check on that and I will get back to you. Finally Friday, May 22nd they said we have a transfer coming in it should clear this week sometime and we will send your money. Here we are the 16th June and still nothing and still ghosting me after they say they will check on it. I don’t know how they run a business if they don’t have the money to pay for a $420 buyback of a phone. I either want my money or a comparable phone and communication.

Never received payment for my mint condition iphone pro max and charger. Contracted to pay $435.00 + $10.00 new customer shipping notification bonus. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY, TOTAL SCAM! I emailed, and left voice message (never answers phone, always goes to vmail). They send me a text with lame excuse of being busy...then ghosted a few days. When messaged again they said they would check on it. There is nothing to check on, just pay me since I got email notification when they received the phone a month ago. Nothing but ignoring, runaround then ignoring again. Just FYI, if you are in my situation, you can report your phone stolen, file a report with the TX Attorney General's Office, and since they are operating over the internet across State lines you can also file a report with the Federal Trade Commission. If you search them on Facebook you should get the result of a lady who is working in filing a class action lawsuit and let her know you have also been scammed by them. Do yourself a favor that I wish I would have done prior to sending them my phone...Google earth their address and you will see an abandoned looking strip mall site with no signage of a store, SCAMMING LIARS AND THIEVES!

I sent in both a Samsung phone and an Apple Watch during the same week. I wasn't sure how the process would go since this was my first time using the service, but everything worked out great. Both devices were received, inspected, and processed exactly as described. The communication was excellent throughout the transaction, and I appreciated being kept informed of each step. Payment was sent promptly, and the entire process felt professional and transparent. It's refreshing to work with a company that does what they say they're going to do.

Had my original post removed because Golden Standard Buybacks found a technicality in the review policy. Obviously because it was negative. Fine, heres a redo. Id never again deal with them! Had to involve the local police and threaten to press charges for theft to get my money for two iphones I sent! Took 3 months to get paid! Received countless emails promising everything and received nothing! Interestingly enough some of the 5 star reviews about them came from individuals with THE SAME EXACT LAST NAME as the person who’s name was on my PAYPAL payment! Coincidence I think not! Save yourself headache dont deal with them!

Please do not use this Compnay. They have my phone over two months now, i paid for expedited shipping to receive payment quickly and nothing, they disappeared. I ended up reaching out to the Better Business Bureau and once they got involved i finally got an email being offered far less money than the agreed amount. I was also told that the BBB cannot help because they are not an accredited business. The only contact i have received was by Susan Gray, this person stopped replying a month ago. If you are reading this please do not waste your time with these crooks. They need to be reported to everyone and they need to be shut down.

This company received my iPhone 15 pro a month ago. After about 10 days I decided to follow up. They responded very quickly. With a story about being their busiest time of the year and that they would send my the money in about a week. Similar communication has gone back and forth with no end of excuses. It's now been a month and they have stopped answering my emails. This company will take you phone worth $500 and just keep it.

Honestly, what can I say? They do what they can with the resources that they have. I got what I asked for and they took care of what I asked for I have no regrets.
