@adam_foosaner1 Awesome! Congrats 🚀

@bochkovaleks Hey Aleks, thanks so much for the kind words! We can't wait to hear your feedback when you try the platform.

@adam_foosaner1 sleek design. Good luck on your venture! 🚀 UPVOTED!

@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… :)

@pelaseyed we'd love to check it out! Do you have a link to it?

@adam_foosaner1 It's used as an internal tool at a big ITAD company so unfortunately no.

@pelaseyed No problem - regardless, thanks so much for showing your support for our launch!

@adam_foosaner1 I believe in this space! Keep on keep in’ on :)

@glen_creaser Thanks, Glen! We think so too - right now you can just drop off your items using a QR code at The UPS Store or schedule a free at-home pickup. We'll be continuing to build out ways to make it even easier for you to sell your stuff.

@ayberkbozkus Thanks for the love for our product team!

@udginsme_egaladonq Thanks for the question! We work with a network of professional resellers to pre-aggregate demand for your used electronics. So you can easily sell all of their items to Backflip without the hassle of traditional marketplaces, and we've already found someone who wants to buy those items on your behalf. As long as the item is in the condition stated when you create your sale, your price is guaranteed!

Privacy is of the utmost importance to us at Backflip, as it is essential to a safe and secure selling experience. Here are a few of the things that we offer in order to help keep your data safe: - We provide detailed instructions for wiping your devices before sending them in. If you still need help, our support team is available at support@backflip.com Monday-Saturday to help walk you through the steps! - We use industry-leading software to ensure that every device is factory reset before sending them to our network of buyers. - In the rare event that we are unable to completely erase a device, we will contact the original owner and work with them to wipe the device, or send it back free of charge. - Even in the absence of the above, it's almost impossible to break into an Apple device unless it's missing a lock code or password! Thanks again for your question and we hope this helps!
