SellAndRecycle.com SellAndRecycle.com has SHADY business practices. DO NOT USE THEM Internet
I decided to use sellandrecycle.com after they offered the most money for my Droid X2 at $40. HOWEVER, when I finally decided to mail in my phone and they received it, they said it had a BAD ESN and offered $13.50. In my original email, there was a link in which if you clicked on it and declined the offer, the phone would be mailed back to you.
HOWEVER, I never received the phone. Plus after declining the offer, they emailed me two more times offering $20 and $30 for the phone so that was a red flag right there. I have yet to receive my phone back and the company has NOT responded to my emails.
Here is the original email verbatim (minus my name and ESN number):

Thank you for choosing SellandRecycle.com. Where its not just selling, it's recycling.
I see that I am not the only person who has gone through this with this company so I don't feel so bad now. Gazelle.com needs to address sellandrecycle.com because it ultimately makes them look bad backing a company with a history of ripping people off.
HOWEVER, I never received the phone. Plus after declining the offer, they emailed me two more times offering $20 and $30 for the phone so that was a red flag right there. I have yet to receive my phone back and the company has NOT responded to my emails.

The company FINALLY responded to an email after I said I would report them to the BBB. Here is their response:
I am sorry to state that we required that you pay fee of $8.99 to have you device returned. We however to not have a record of receiving that payment. Due to lack of payment and a lack of continued communication since the latest email send to you, you have forfeited the item as per our terms and conditions. Due to this forfeit we have issued your latest offer of $30 to the address that we have on file.
Remember I REJECTED the original $13.50 offer they made to me and requested that my phone be shipped back to me. Like others have listed in reports on here, once they get your phone you are not getting it back. I do not want their $30. I want my phone back. Until they issue my phone back back the report will remain on this site.
