Recently my client expressed excitement about purchasing all new Apple devices for his small business. He upgraded all phones, tablets, and laptops to the newest models so his office could run more efficiently.

“What will you do with the old devices?” I asked.

His response really made me stop to think. “I sell them to a company that picks them up, wipes the data, and sends me a check.” As I listened, I learned that the company provides a prepaid package for the devices and can even provide a certificate of data destruction, if needed. The only restriction is that the device must be a 2014 model or newer. When the transaction was complete, he received a check for $1350, which nicely offset the cost of the new devices.

How Does The Service Work?

I thought about my drawer full of old devices- some Apple, some Samsung, and even an HP laptop. I wondered if I had cash sitting there collecting dust. Here is how I got started:

• Visit this website and click on the Begin Process button.
• Complete the general info about yourself and your devices.
• A really nice guy names Louis will reach out to you to gather more specific info about your devices and the information needed to send you a prepaid shipping label.
• Package up the devices and ship them off.
• When your devices are processed, Louis will be back in touch to let you know that the data wiping is complete and to advise how much the check will be.

My check was $675! If not for this service, I would have eventually thrown the old devices away.

It doesn’t matter if you have two devices or 200. It doesn’t matter if the screen is cracked or the home button is missing. Complete the form and get paid for them.

How Can They Do This?

I am always interested in new business models, so I asked Louis how they make a profit from this service. He explained that his team of tech people refurbish the old devices and then he resells them online or donates them to non-profit organizations. The resale price makes up for the cost of acquisition and repair. So smart! And a great deal for both me and him. It felt good to realize that my old devices weren’t in a landfill somewhere, but rather being used by someone who can’t afford brand new devices.
