Although this might sound a little crazy at first, please give it a minute to sink in and you'll see it all
makes sense!
Our story is a simple one at its core: we pay consumers and businesses cash for household goods they no longer want or need. In fact, since we started in 2009 we've built out the largest Instant Cash Quote Platform for consumer household goods on Earth, with well over 30,000 SKUs and counting daily. (have something you want to sell, but don't see it listed? Get a Custom Quote today) So far, we've shelled out over $25,000,000 to over 200,000 customers for items they no longer needed. Pretty impressive, huh? Wait, there's more!
To start with, we'll tell you what your item is worth upfront to take the guesswork out of what you might be able to sell it for. The process is quick and easy – go to www.BuyBackWorld.com, simply search for an item you have in your household that you no longer want or need such as an iPhone, iPad, MacBook, smartphone or other consumer electronics, gift cards, power tools and more, get an upfront, no risk instant cash quote and be on your way to selling your unwanted product in under a minute.
Did we mention that all offers come standard with FREE Shipping and FREE Returns? Additionally, if you sell us an item and the quote changes for any reason and you're not 100% satisfied, we'll ship your item back to you free of charge – no questions asked.
On the flip side, if you buy something from us and it isn't exactly what you expected, we'll let you return it for free. No risks, no hassles. Ever
This is guaranteed on every single order you place on BuyBackWorld for 30 days, whether you are buying or selling.
If you're not the online selling type, did you know that you can also get a great deal on a certified pre-owned device such as an iPhone, iPad or other smartphone and you can purchase discounted gift cards to your favorite retailers all from BuyBackWorld? Check out all of the great deals we offer on all of your favorite products here.
The best part is we stand behind every transaction to ensure that it runs smoothly and guarantee it for a minimum of 30 Days so you'll always have someone in your corner if there's ever an issue. That means no meeting strangers in parking lots or coffee shops, no pictures to take, no listings to manage and constantly check up on, no scams and no worries. Click. Ship. Get Paid. Turn your clutter into cash and watch the savings pile up.
2009
BuyBackWorld is founded by Andreas Leptourgos and Steven Francess on September 3, 2009 in a small New York City apartment. Both former Wall St. executives, they envisioned offering consumers and businesses a "cash for electronics" buying service with a seamless customer experience that offered fair and accurate price quotes, speedy payment times, free shipping, a zero landfill policy, and data erasure for privacy protection. Leveraging their knowledge of how the financial markets worked, Leptourgos and Francess set out to commoditize the used electronics market which would produce an instant quote pricing engine to drive their website.
They believed that providing an honest, trustworthy, and easy-to-use service that offered fair financial incentives and delivered on its promises of riskless and hassle-free selling would motivate businesses and consumers to breathe a second life into their used electronics. From this, the "Go Green, Get Green" initiative that empowers the company's philosophy was born.
2010
We officially launch www.BuyBackWorld.com on June 24, 2010 alongside the release of the iPhone 4. Using multiple street teams positioned across New York City, we purchase consumer's old iPhones for cash as they come out of various Apple stores with their new iPhone 4. That day alone we purchased over $10,000 worth of iPhones in cash off the streets of NYC. The rest, as they say, is history..
