We will even get you started by sending you some bumper stickers and business cards, just email us with your address and we will send you as many as you want. Slap that sticker on your car bumper, your notebook for school or your friends' forehead. You can also send positive comments to us here.

Environmental Questions
What does BuyMyTronics do with my items I sell?

There are three main redistribution categories your gadget will fit into:

Reuse – Typically sold to other customers via eBay, Amazon or other channels. We prefer reuse, because it gives a gadget a direct second life and typically provides someone a more affordable way to purchase the hottest gadgets or to find a replacement.

Refurbish – Many items are refurbished in house by our techs, like iPods, laptops, some cell phones and other gadgets. Other items are resold in groups to companies that specialize in refurbishing.

Recycle – Our smallest redistribution channel that includes that massive phone you don't use from the 80's and 90's, circuit boards and other items. All recycle or scrap items are shipped to domestic and typically locally-based Denver Metro partners that adhere highest levels of ethical recycling. One of our largest recycling partners is in the process of getting Basel Action Network (BAN) certified.

BACK TO TOP

Where do all of your scraps and un-reusable Tronics go to?

We work with a Basel Action Network (BAN) certified recycler based in Boulder, CO. Rest assured that our Tronic trash and eWaste stays domestic, will be recycled ethically and responsibly, and won't end up in a land fill or vat of acid in China. To date, we have kept tons of waste out of landfills.

"The Meat" - Selling Your Tronics
What is BuyMyTronics definition of a 100% working item? What does broken mean?

A 100% working item by definition at BuyMyTronics is a gadget working exactly as it would have, if it were brand new from the factory. Meaning there cannot be a tripped water damage sensor, a buzzing sound, one or more buttons not working, a broken or loose hinge, a cracked screen (a cracked façade is okay) or anything else that impedes the use of your Tronic. If any of these things mentioned or something similar is occurring with your Tronic, it most likely won't be considered 100% working. A rule of thumb; If there is any of trick you need to do to get your Tronic to work, it will most likely be considered a broken item. If you still are unsure if your item is counted as 100% working or broken, email us here.

Of course, just select what accessories you do or do not have on our submission page and we will take it from there.

Can I ship my Tronics with a carrier other than USPS or FedEx?

Sorry no. We offer free shipping with USPS and FedEx. You can use any other service if you want to though, but it would be at your cost.

BACK TO TOP

How do I ensure nothing breaks during the shipping process? How do I package up my box?

The original packaging works best. If you don't have your original packaging pad your Tronics by using old newspapers or something similar as padding (it's the most environmentally friendly option out there). Bubble wrap, also works very well. Additionally, please use a sturdy box and ample tape to ensure all contents stay in your package. If you are unsure of how to pack your item properly, we encourage having items professionally wrapped.
