How We Determine What Qualifies
Not every electronic device can be purchased. Each item is assessed using a proprietary pricing system that reflects real-time resale trends and verified market data.
Devices must demonstrate sufficient resale or parts value. Items with limited demand or restricted resale eligibility may not qualify for a cash offer.
If we cannot purchase your item, we provide free recycling for most electronics to support environmentally responsible disposal across Cumberland, Smyrna, Vinings, and surrounding Cobb County communities.
