Long story short
Long story short, I sent them a device and back and forth with chat, they refuse to send the device back and send me money they owed. I will be contacting an attorney and local law enforcement for theft.

This has been a horrible experience. I sent an iPhone 16promax 1tb in very good condition and was offered $879. That was Dec 11 and have received two pmts with promises after promises that the remaining amt owed would be sent. That has not happened yet and it is March 9th. They still owe me $424.79 which includes 2 10% bonus pmts for the delays. I have tried and tried but the just won’t pay so I guess I’ll have to do like others and contact the Texas Attorney General’s office for help

DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY!!! THEY ARE A SCAM!!! I sent my wife's phone in last December. Zero response. Two months later I began chasing their "customer service" which is a text message chain they stop responding to. At least 40 attempts to get paid what was due for the phone. Then they went silent. Still - no response and no payment. Do not fall for this scam like I did!! They suggest they pay the highest amount for your phone - and then pay you nothing and don't even respond to communications. I have contacted the McCallen FBI agency and reported that they are operating an illegal business. The owners should be put in prison for cybercrime!!!

**Completely Do Not Recommend** I sent my phone to Golden Standard Buybacks for an agreed $933 payout. They confirmed receipt of my device but never paid the full amount. I did not authorized partial payments but they did anyways. I received a small amount and then only received $400 via Zelle, sent from a secondary account listed as **Imperial Homes LLC (Golden Standard Buybacks Secondary Account)** — not directly from their main business account. The remaining $288 has not been paid, and my phone was never returned. During the delay, I was given multiple excuses: * “Death within the office” * “Pending bank issue” * “Payment already sent” * “Waiting on bank confirmation” No proof of any pending payment was ever provided. Communication eventually stopped. Based on my experience, I completely DO NOT recommend sending your device to this company. Please be cautious!!!!!

Con artists! Wont pay you when they get your phones. Offered me about $525 for two phones. After two months PayPal me $270 and promised the balance later. Two weeks later they wont respond to any communication. TOTAL SCAM OPERATION. UPDATE**** I filed a police report with their local police department in McAllen Tx. They said send GSBB an email giving them 2 weeks to pay or Im filing charges for theft by deception. Guess what? PayPal me the balance due within a week! Still took a LOT of hassle and time to get paid! Took about 3 months! I still will never deal with this company again!

This is a big run around and strange. They took forever to get back to me. Once they did, they gave me a legitimate reason to reduce the price, which was fine. Now that it's time for payment, I am getting a huge run around and haven't been paid. Their tracking shows they have had my phones almost 2 months now. Other Company's that I have used were very responsive and quick.
