Backflip is the best way to sell your electronic devices. Just drop them off or schedule a pickup – it’s easy and free! We have you covered for smartphones, tablets, game consoles & more. The best part? No shipping box or label is needed!
Hello! I’m Adam, the CTO of Backflip.
My co-founder and I stumbled on the idea behind Backflip when moving between apartments.
❓ Why we built it:
We thought “Why can’t we find someone to just buy all our electronics and take them off our hands today? We should be able to sell them in a matter of minutes by just taking a picture on our phones.”
✅ How it works:
Backflip is the first step towards realizing this vision.
Now with Backflip.com, you can just bring your electronics to The UPS Store to sell, and no box or shipping label is required. Or UPS will simply come pick it up from your home – and all for free.
The name "Backflip” signifies the joy, excitement, and celebration that comes with so easily turning that old box of electronics into usable cash.
By "flipping their devices back" into the circular economy, anyone can help reduce e-waste and make electronics more accessible -- all while organizing their belongings and gaining extra spending power to pursue their goals.
👉 How you can get started:
Simply go to our website, select your device, describe the conditions and get a quote.
Please share feedback, questions, & comment! Excited to hear from you!
@chrismessina Thanks for the question Chris! At a high level, we have a bigger mission than Gazelle: we're building the Amazon of making things disappear from your apartment. Selling your unused stuff should look similar to how you sell stuff in the Sims; you should be able to “right click” on anything on your home, click “sell”, and it should disappear instantly and you should get paid the same day.
Although we have a lot of work left to do in achieving that mission, the MVP product we launched today is already massively differentiated from competitors like Gazelle:
- Ease of use: No hassle with packing and shipping your own device; you can bring your device to a UPS store where the store associate will pack and ship it for you (like an Amazon return), or you can have UPS pick it up from your home if it box up your items yourself (they’ll even bring you a label!)
- Payouts: We offer payouts that are typically ~30-50% higher than what you’d get for the same item on Gazelle
- Time to payout: While Gazelle typically takes 3-4 weeks to pay you out start to finish, we pay folks within 24 hours of receiving their devices and most sales are completed in less than a few days.
- Number of items available to sell: We offer over a hundred types of devices for you to sell, while Gazelle focuses on Apple products
We have lots of new features on the roadmap that will continue to differentiate our service including courier pickup, same-day-you-create-your-order payouts, and new product categories. More on that soon… :)
?makers Nice work! I've built a so called Asset Valuation Tool that estimates the wholesale price for any given hardware configurataion (lagptops, phones etc.) based on the same type of info you guys use.
