over-promised and under-delivered......quoted me $82 and gave me $50

I was quoted a price which I thought was low but fair considering I bought that laptop new only a year ago but when I sent it in was quoted another price lower. I only accepted because I didn't want the hassle of a return. After reading your reviews I see that this your m.o. Should have read reviews first. My bad.

I am somewhat disappointed in your program for the simple fact that I sent an item that was never used at all, brand new even, just outdated by a few years and had the original box with it, your program quoted me an acceptable amount but re-quoted it after inspection stating that it had scratches and that some sensor on it had worn out. It was as if they had to find something wrong with it to not pay the initial quoted price. I accepted the new quote anyway because I got the phone free only paying shipping cost for it, so it was a total gain for me after selling it to the gadget program.

Obviously, I sold 2 computers that were older. They were in excellent condition, in original packing & boxes along with all manuals, etc. They informed me that battery life was shorter and found a "sticky" letter key and reduced the quote for BOTH computers to the quote they had given me for ONE computer. So got half of their original quote. Should have known there as something up when their quote was $10 higher than other competitors.

When I decided to sell my 2011 Sony Vaio laptop, I researched many companies because a lot of these places are all scams. What I loved about gadget salvation is you can text them, and they respond immediately and help you with any questions. They valued my laptop as up to $172..but since i checked off that the battery was damaged, they offered up to $112. When i sold it to them, they assessed it at 37 dollars. I was a bit taken back because that's quite a disparity, especially when they added a list of things wrong with my laptop. They should have included those things in the check off list, so I'd have a better idea what I would get, however, they didn't. They mentioned dirty keyboard which definitely was not true. but the battery wasn't working and that I checked off. As i said, there weren't options for anything else. It's a bit misleading when you go to sell your laptop and they only list a couple of problems when you go to assess your laptop. Another problem they said was my laptop was slow running, which also devalued it further, according to them. That one surprised me. I feel they were a bit nitpicky with finding stuff wrong, to justify devaluing it further. However, i decided to sell it for the 37 dollars because it was collecting dust at home, and i didn't want to buy a new battery for that laptop. Also, none of the cash for laptop sites turned up reputable. Some don't even pick up the phone! Not bad if you want to sell a computer but just don't expect a lot. They are great at sending the check in the mail within a few days.

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
