Best Buy Back | The Gadget Grill

OK, this is one for the gadget junkies. You know who you are: you’re the ones who line up overnight at the Apple Store to be first in to buy the new iPhone 5, or the iPad 2.

Or the latest Google Android phone.

You simply must have the very latest and greatest.

But that means that you probably have a very full drawer, stacked with all of your cast-offs. They sit there, like Marvin at the Restaurant At The End Of The Universe, quietly rusting away … lonely, forlorn, forgotten, like last week’s cast-offs.

Which is exactly what they are.

In the US, the Best Buy chain – which has a good online presence – are introducing a buy-back scheme, whereby they will guarantee you a price for your cast-off technology, should you wish to avail yourself of this scheme.

You’ll need to buy into the program of course, but then you will be guaranteed a set buy-back price based upon the original purchase price paid, and the current age of the product.
