Bait and switch pricing tactics

EDIT: The business owner has now paid the original quoted amount, and I have updated my rating to 2 stars to reflect that the deal was eventually honored.

However, I am leaving this review up because the experience was the opposite of the hassle-free sale I expected. I understand that buyers and sellers can have honest disagreements about the quality of used goods. But downgrading an offer by a whole $100 for imperceptible wear (which looked like dust) does not feel like a grading re-evaluation in good faith. It feels like an attempt to squeeze a customer who has already mailed in their device.

The fact that the original offer was reinstated so quickly after I pushed back—and after the owner called me at 5:00 AM and texted repeatedly to change this review—confirms that the initial price drop was likely a tactic rather than a genuine assessment. I chose this service over Facebook Marketplace to avoid haggling, but I ended up having to fight for the agreed-upon price anyway

ORIGINAL: After I went through the hassle of mailing them my phone, instead of the agreed $370, they suggested $270 because they didn't consider the phone flawless. The photo they had as evidence SHOWED DUST ON THE PHONE SCREEN. It's a typical scam, they always pretend to find something wrong with the phone, lowball you and hope you accept.

So many people have messaged me on Facebook Marketplace I'd already have my cash if I'd just sold it there.

We appreciate the update and are glad the transaction was resolved. For accuracy, the revised offer was a $79 adjustment, not $100, and the device was graded one level lower from Flawless to Lightly Used due to visible wear on the front glass/frame documented in inspection photos. All offers are subject to inspection as outlined during checkout, and customers are never obligated to accept a revised offer. We aim to resolve concerns transparently, professionally and quickly. We apologize for the early phone call, but glad we were able to resolve this for you in a timely manner.

Here are the inspection pictures of the device received.

Super quick and simple process to sell…

Super quick and simple process to sell my old phone, very clear instructions on how to grade your device so there are no surprises when they receive it! 10/10 would sell to them again!

Better payout than competition

Everything worked as expected. Buyback surgeon offered more for my old iPhone 13 than any of the other options and came through with a quick PayPal payment as soon as my phone got delivered to them.

Best place to sell your devices

I have sold devices to other companies and Buyback Surgeons were the easiest company to work with out of all. They also offered me the most money. They are friendly and fast. I had the money the very next day after they received the device. I will use Buyback from now on!!!

Great Experience

My experience was excellent. The device was slightly damaged during shipping, which is not their fault, and a real human called me to discuss it. They offer better payouts; it is worth the time and effort to send in a device. They value their customers, and it shows.

Buyback Surgeon was amazing

Buyback Surgeon was amazing! My phone was locked and it took 3 weeks to get it unlocked through Xfinity.
They sent me updates along the way. I’m grateful for their patience. Sending me a check and happy with the amount.

Excellent customer service

Buyback surgeon was great to work with. I had just purchased a new phone and didn't want to deal with a private sale. They were able to provide a fair price. Once I accepted the offer, I received the money the next day. They have excellent customer service and are very responsive
