It was a quick and simple process to not only get some extra cash but also a way to rid of my devices properly. Definitely recommend using if you have electronics sitting around losing value and causing waist !

Overall, because of my persistence, it was a good experience.

It took many attempts to successfully sell my phone. Not knowing if my experience was normal or if there was a reason why I was having the problems that I experienced. After placing the sticker on the back of the phone the machine on several occasions, said that it was having difficulty reading the sticker. I had to detach and reattach the sticker to get it to scan. The most frustrating problem, on a few occasions, after starting the process and being given an offer amount, the machine said that it was unable to process my transaction with no explanation why. During one attempt, I was at the very end of the process and the machine was doing something and it took 10 minutes only for it to say that it would not be able to process my transaction. I didn't know if I should try again or if they felt my ID didn't match the photo taken live because I have grown a beard since my ID photo. If you have a phone that is locked with a carrier and you need to sell it, this is ideal. If you have an unlocked phone, you're better off trying to sell it over Facebook marketplace. I did that with one phone and I was able to get triple of what ecoATM was offering. Overall, because of my persistence, it was a good experience.

2nd offer after decline

I didn't like that when I declined, I was offered $2-$4 more as an incentive to change my mind. It erodes my trust that I will get the best offer on my phone if I do decide to accept.

You only do this if you are absolutely desperate or have E waste.

The eco atm absolutely rips you off. To the point where you’ll definitely feel ashamed of your life choices. I used it twice in pure desperation. I had an unlocked s21 ultra that I turned in a year after release, 1300$ phone, flawless, eco atm payed 160$. Second time was an unlocked iPhone 13 Pro 2 years after release, flawless, another 1300$ phone, 275$. At the time of writing this the iPhone resells used like new for 600-700. Brand new 900. If you can, if you have the time, go sell your plasma instead. I regret deeply selling my devices for such a low price.However they do give you cash on the spot. So they deserve their flowers for that.

Fast and easy process

Fast and easy process, very clear and easy to follow. The only issue that was less than great was that the money I received for my recycle came in all $1. lol. But otherwise, excellent!

Experience very good except when I…older iPhones can't be found on your system for evaluation

Experience very good except when I tried to evaluate an older iPhone and it could not find it so it asked and I accepted a minimum $4.00 for it. Other than that it was better to se ecoATM to sell rather than donate or keep in the basement.
