My laptop was not in the best condition, but I was still paid $13. It had a lot of problems! I know you think that $13 wasn't much, but it was. I had a defective screen, overheating, cracks, and broken RAM. I was going to just throw my laptop away, but I chose to earn a few bucks with Gadget Salvation. The quote was legit and the payment process was quick and easy. This was my first time using this company, and I plan to use it again.

Had a newish laptop with a small crack on the screen, and didn't totally boot up, and wanted to get rid of it. The offer of $27 was okay.. for a $1200 computer and I sent it in, and they reevaluated it and gave me an offer of $4. I only took it because I didn't want the hassle of dealing with it any further. The $27 was rough, the $4 was a joke.

They offered em $1000 for my laptop it had slight wear and tear what do you expect from a 3 year old laptop. They lowered their offer to $336.

Jeremiah, Our website offers up to $430 for this model in excellent condition. $1,000 far eceeds its current market value, even in new condition. I beleive you made reference of a competitor offering this much, . I have reviewed our price history for this model and we certainly have not valued the Apple Macbook Pro MC721LL/A above $500 for the past 6 months. I beleive you must be confusing the offer from another site. Please email us if you have questions about the current value of your device.

At first they offered me 200 but then I ended up getting only 70 for my MAC laptop, I didnt think it was in that bad of condition. But they did send me my check straight away after I accepted my price and it wasn't a scam! Thanks

This company is a joke. My 8 year old laptop which was in very good condition, was unduly downgraded from $64 to $16. The $16 barely covered the packaging materials I purchases to ship the laptop. I sent an extra plug and cord which was lose, the other worked perfect and they apparently only tried the lose one. They intentionally looked for every little reason to downgrade the value of my device and unduly so. Yellowing of the screen? Really? It's an 8 year old laptop. Do not trust this company.

The quote they gave me for my used laptop was much higher than the amount the actually offered when they received it. They should have provided more details on how to evaluate my computer so I could accurately assess the condition. For example, my battery was totally functioning but apparently it had too many charge cycles so they counted it as non functioning. Nowhere on their website did they tell me to check the charge cycles, so how was I to know that was something I should report to get an accurate quote? They also mysteriously said my wifi and DVD player weren't working when they both worked for me.

They were very rude in their responses to me regarding the offer they were giving me, they offered me less then a quarter of what the devices were worth and then expecTed me to pay for the shipping both ways when I did not accept their offer. Other competitors such as Buy Back World were much better to deal with and returned items at no charge. I would never recommend gadget salvation to anyone.

Lisa, We are sorry to this but we do return items at no charge. Your laptop had a fried motherboard, no power at all. The condition you stated was "good". This is why the significant drop in the quote value. Also, your laptops were cracked and had broken parts. We do have that option on our estimator, under "my gadget has issues", select "Excessive wear". That would have given you a more accurate quote.

Sent my iPad on Friday, and already got my PayPal deposit today (Tue)!! That was quick. Oh, I also loved that you can walk into any UPS store and have your devices packaged and shipped for free, gadget salvation paid for everything. I will definitely be back with more stuff to sell :)
