Okay, so my initial quoate from them was 265 for a newer Toshiba laptop and 65 for a really old Dell laptop. I should mention that neither of these laptops functioned, the dell’s mouse cursor was screwed up – it was always clicking which in a windows environment meant it was non functioning. The toshiba literally had a battery and a/c adapter explosion – after which – it would not function with a battery installed (just outside of warranty).
The Toshiba was shipped, they emailed me saying there was a “hard drive failure” – which is crap, there was nothing wrong with the HDD – I wiped it clean, however, there probably was an undiagnosed motherboard problem. They offered me 235 for it – took it, absolutely.
The Dell was shipped they emailed me saying there was a “battery failure” + laptop was in poor condition, they would offer me 35 dollars for it, again, took it, absolutely.
So here is the rub, they use stupid excuses to bring down the online quotes – but their online quotes are disproportionatley higher than ALL of the other laptop buyers on the internet, because they don’t ask enough questions to judge the condition of the laptops. So is it a bit of a bait and switch, sure – but you still will probably end up with more cash in hand than with the competitors.
All in all, very happy with Cashforlaptops.com, the 270 has already been spent on christmas presents.
I also have have good experiences with this company and I would recommend it to others.
I’ve had good experiences with them as well.
Was quoted $90 for my old laptop that works, good battery, and powercord. When they received the laptop they said that they would only give $20 for the laptop. They said that it was the condition I stated but that the computer was cracked. My computer was never cracked. It comes from an adult household and we don’t throw our computers around. He also said that there was a lot of wear to the computer. Well its an OLD laptop what do you want. I put that in the comments before I sent it. I refused their offer and asked them to send the laptop back. They said they would charge $20 to send the laptop back which of course I fought. I looked all over their website and found there is no mention of a return fee and also quoted them word for word their policy on the matter. The guy who I spoke with “Gerome” got angry and started yelling that I was trying to scam them out of the $20 return fee and “I think I’m really smart looking through their terms and conditions because no one ever does that.” He said he would send the laptop back free of charge. We received the laptop today and they removed the battery and replaced it with a dinged up battery that does not work and also switched out the power cord with one that is very very old. I had the battery and cord taped with a marker and this is not the items we received back. I have used another site laptopsforcash.com and received exactly what they promised without any problems. The other laptop was older with wear..was quoted $290 and that is exactly what I received. Stay away from cashforlaptops.com. They are not what they seem.
I will say this. I have sold many laptops to these guys and the more I sold them the more the price came down. If you listen to their audio recording which is bullshit, they clearly state that “they will not lower your quote for missing keys, sratches, or ware marks etc..” Guess what they do. Best scam ever, quote you one thing, then thye have your machine, offer you less, what are you going to do ask for it back, maybe. They are hoping you will settle for the lesser price.
- Use Caution and don’t settle for anything less, make the Fu$%# ship it back, now they are loosing $$.
