   Do you know what they do with the items they received?
   Because there would be consumers like me who would be happy to buy a second hand lens at the price they receive it for (plus like $100 to go towards the environment or whatever)

      I agree completely. I want to cheap second hand electronics for kids and stuff. Can’t afford new ones. eBay does not really make sense (add $100 to ebay price and you get a new ipad)

   You will always get more selling on ebay, but you’ll also have the higher risk and greater effort associated with that.

   These companies make their money by buying low and selling closer to actual market price, but they offer something in return: They’ll completely remove all the financial risk dealing with dodgy buyers, and the hour or two of your time it’ll probably take to put up an ad, deal with buyers, and mail it off.

   I’d be interested to know how much of a profit margin these sites make now, there seems to be quite a bit of competition.

   They’ll give me $29 for my iRiver P7 16GB, while the Officeworks one was offering about $100.

   You can trade your iPad for more at EB. Not impressive.

   Hey Everyone- I am the Marketing and Media rep for BuyMyTronics US and want to thank you all for your feedback. Hearing from consumers helps to make our business better.
   @anon-BuyMyTronicsAU specializes in recirculating and resale. Like you mentioned, second-hand moblies still have quite a bit of value and it helps reduce waste from manufacturing if people use resources that already exist. Our US company works with a site called ReApple.com that sells refurbished Apple products.
   @Stove–thank you for making such great points. Yes there is a lot of competition in the market now, but we differentiate ourselves by accepting over 6,000 types of gadgets in any condition. Not all buy-back companies will pay for broken items like we do, so we feel that we are offering customers something that our competitors do not.
   I appreciate everyone’s commentary.
