Kalamazoo-based Rapid Repair, a national online repair service for portable electronics, Tuesday announced a new iPhone Buyback Program, giving first-generation iPhone owners a new option for generating the funds needed to trade up to the new 3G Apple iPhone -- or just for turning their iPhone into cash.
"Lots of 1G iPhone owners are excited about the 3G -- but they don't know what to do with their current device," said Aaron Vronko, CEO, co-founder and service manager of Rapid Repair. "Our iPhone Buyback Program is a unique alternative to eBay, Craigslist or other self-directed sales channels. It's fast, simple, and best of all, our prices are both fair and guaranteed."
Rapid Repair's iPhone Buyback Program pays top dollar for fully-functional iPhones. Current prices range from $100 for the 4GB model to $200 for the 16GB (prices subject to change). Upon contacting Rapid Repair and qualifying for the program, an overnight shipping label is immediately sent to the seller to cover the cost of mail-in.
Furthermore, Rapid Repair guarantees its buyback price for up to 14 days.
"If for any reason our price changes, either up or down, during the two weeks after the seller contacts us, we will still pay them the higher price," stated Vronko.
Currently there is no trade-in option for iPhone owners at any iPhone retailer.
"Apple and AT&T do not accept trade-ins. Best Buy is not expected to accept 1G iPhones either," said Vronko. "To our knowledge, Rapid Repair's Buyback Program is the only such program from a reputable company."
To take advantage of the Rapid Repair iPhone Buyback Program, visit www.rapidrepair.com/iphonebuybackprogram.html. After filling out a short form, a Rapid Repair sales associate will contact the individual with the information he or she will need to mail in their device. Rapid Repair will accept all standard accessories included with the original iPhone device; no offers are currently available for aftermarket accessories.
For those individuals with a broken or damaged iPhone, Rapid Repair offers an iPhone repair service as well as a full line of iPhone replacement parts. The company also buys damaged iPhones and will soon begin selling used, fully-functional iPhones equipped with 90-day unconditional warranties.
