Excellent service at a great price

A great price on a working Blackberry 9900 and super quick money in my account, no hassles. Easy to use site, sent with free label, tracked delivery, emails to update me they received it, checked it, had accepted it and would deposit funds. Posted Friday, money in my account Monday about 4.30pm - FAB!

You wont get the online value

So after trading in a brand new HTC still in the box they advised it had worse than average wear and tear. Amazing considering its not been used. And a cheaper price offered. Very poor really. Wouldnt use again.

Fantastic Company

Sent my iPhone to this company and forgot to remove my iCloud and found it confusing on how to do it. Dexter guided me with simple instructions on how to do this and got paid the full amount, couldn't of been a better company to choose. Will be sending my daughters phone in soon.

Disgraceful

Please be aware of the very neat scam that this company use.Once they receive your phone I was informed that the glass was smashed,which obviously resulted in a much reduced offer...and I even included a spare battery.I would never use this company again.Plus I will be passing on my experience to friends to ensure they too are not ripped off.Totally disgusted.Not worth any star rating.

Great Service and prompt payment

This company was great. They sent out excellent packing material and replied promptly when they had received and assessed the phone. I was happy with the reevaluation as well. Money was transfered into my account on the day of the email confirmation. Excellent service all around!

Great service

Recycled my wife's iPhone 5s after finding Goodbye Gadgets on a comparison website. They weren't rated the highest nor recommended even though the best price but I took a chance. Not only did they offer the best price by far, but also kept me up to date along the way and paid very quickly after receiving and checking the phone.

A very happy customer!

Won't be using this service ever again!

tried to sell my phone as I have recently upgraded and goodbye gadgets offered the best price. 4 days later I got an email saying they wouldn't pay what they offered for my device.

I was not notified before sending the device that the price could change, as the only criteria was that it was in a full working order, which was the case.

Quick efficient service

I have used this company twice now, having just sold my daughters iPhone to them from it being sent and receiving her money it took 5 days. Fantastic communications. An absolute pleasure to deal with. Would certainly recommend goodbye gadgets to anyone wanting to sell any device.

Excellent personal service!

Sold my daughter's iPhone 4S, by far the best price I found online. Somehow managed to leave her iCloud on it and got a text with instructions on how to remove. Very polite and helpful. Was told money would be in my account in a couple of days and it was. Couldn't be happier with the service, have used various mobile recycling companies in the past and this was the best by far! Many thanks Dean!
