Review: Sell Your Old Electronics with Tech Twurl
Posted by Jon Lee in Reviews, Sponsored, Technology, tags: eBay, resell, review, tech twurl
If you’re anything like me, you love to get your hands on new gadgets even though the old one works perfectly fine. Take a very relevant example: the iPhone 4. I have a perfectly functional iPhone 2G, but the iPhone 4 looks so gorgeous (reception issue aside), that I’m definitely going to pick one up once it comes to Canada.
But what do I do with the 2G? For a phone that is no longer really in demand, it may not be easy to sell on eBay or craigslist — at least not for a price that can justify going through the trouble of dealing with buyers or even scammers.
What is Tech Twurl?
Tech Twurl offers a service for those that have gadgets at home they want to get rid of to sell electronics. The concept is simple, you send them your old gadget, and they’ll send you cash as payment. Although prices are generally a bit lower than the best price you could get trying to sell the item yourself, the convenience is unparalleled.
The Prices
Obviously, the newer and more in-demand your electronic is, the higher price Tech Twurl will offer. The price also depends on the quality of the product and the accessories (including things like original packaging). Take for example if you bought the latest 32gb iPhone 4 but you are annoyed by the reception issues and have lost your receipt so you can’t return it to an Apple store. Tech Twurl will offer you $585 for it (at the time of this posting). That’s about double the subsidized price you would’ve paid for it.
For an older phone that I’ve used like the Samsung SGH-U900, Tech Twurl’s offer is $68, just a few dollars under the current market value on auction sites. Again, that difference more than pays for the convenience.
How to sell your electronics
The steps to selling your electronics on TechTwurl is easy. First, look up the electronic in question (as well as answer a few questions about the physical and working condition) and they’ll give you a price. No bargaining required.
Next, if you agree to the price, Tech Twurl will send you the necessary shipping equipment, entirely prepaid. Print out the shipping information, package it up in the provided box and drop it in the mail. Immediately once they receive your package, you’ll see the payment in your Paypal or a check in the mail. Easy as pie.
Types of Electronics
Currently, Tech Twurl takes the following categories:
- Cellphones
- Cameras
- MP3 Players
- PDAs
- GPS
- Camcorders
- and even calculators.
If you don’t find your item on their site, don’t worry, they’re constantly adding more listings.
And coming soon… Textbooks! For all those University books you kept as reference but end up just sitting on your shelf collecting dust.
Conclusion
Definitely check it out, it doesn’t cost anything or even a sign-up to look up your old electronics. There’s really no easy way of getting rid of your old stuff for cash!
