“Helpful staff..”

Bunny A.
1/6/20

Sent my calculators during a holiday week, arrived their post location on a Thursday and staff personal was helpful to get my order through before the weekend to be sure I got paid in time. They shifted thru the packages to find my package just to find mine. You just have to have patience and understand sometimes they are under staff during the holidays. Thanks so much for your assistance!

“This "company" is a SCAM!”

I sent them a calculator TI-89 almost new with cover. They promised to pay $41.00. It's been more then 5 weeks ago. No one answer the phone or messages. IT IS A SCAM! The reviews saying that they pay must be a long time ago but not now. IT IS A SCAM NOW. Don't sent your calculators or even buy any from this company unless you want to lose your money.

Sent in my used calculator and got paid on PayPal with even more money than I expected when I sent it in. Also had to email customer service for some help and they were very responsive and helpful.

I sent in 2 calculators in mid December. The website is easy to use and the instruction is clear. I created an account online and has been following with site for status update. It changed from received, pending to paid. I got the check today. (Jan 12). So the whole process takes about a month, there is no hassle. And it pays as it promised. I will recommend this site

After reading some of the reviews on here, I was skeptical about working with this company. I had a TI-84 Graphing Calculator with the lid and the cord (still with the tie on it, because I never used it). They gave me an immediate estimate on their website, and sent me my label. I printed my label, packaged my calculator, and dropped it off at the post office, as instructed. It took just under two weeks to receive email correspondence from them, stating they had received my calculator, and the next day received email saying that it had been inspected and processed, and I was just waiting for my payment at this point. It took 3 days for the payment to be available to me via PayPal, and I cannot tell you how completely opposite of an experience I had then expected. I was expecting to wait forever, have a headache to deal with, multiple phone calls, etc. but instead it was easy, quick, and efficient for me to sell my calculator to this cash4cals, and I would absolutely use them again, as well as recommend this company.

This site gives you a free shipping label for you to send in calculators. I sent in my TI-84 plus last week and just got paid today. Their site says 24 hours, but I imagine thats for paypal payments (otherwise they'd have to overnight me a check, and that probably cost more than the calculator is worth). I don't mind waiting for a check to arrive, so I have no complaints. They pay more than anyone else.

I sent them four calculators without reading any reviews, then saw the reviews and thought I had just lost $120, but then the paypal payment hit my account the next day for the exact amoutn I was quoted. I had a good experience - to anyone who didn't, did you try giving them a call? I called and asked about shipping before I sent anything in, but really to check if it was a scam, and they answered all my questions and seemed legit. So maybe I'm a rare case, but do give them a call if you have questions

Tip for consumers:
I used paypal, maybe thats why I got paid so quickly

I sent in 3 calculators that were TI-84 Plus almost 2 weeks ago. Today I called them and was able to change my payment method from check to PayPal and got payment within an hr. I was quoted $189 for all 3 brand new calculators and my payment was for the $189 I was quoted. PayPal is by far the best and quickest way to receive your payment. Will deal with again.

I sent my calculator to these people, after i had estimated the price of my calculator in good condition warrenting an estimation of 45$ i got the payment in the mail by check right around 2 weeks after shipping my calculator so with the time the USPS takes it was pretty quick. When i got the payment it was only 16$, i contacted customer service who were friendly and explained to me why my calculator was appraised lower than i expected. I. e. Mine had scratches on the screen i hadnt noticed. Despite this we were able to work out a deal. They also showed good customer service and listened to my complaint and took the steps to fix it as well. They were kind and honest.

Long term customer here... I've been sending them calculators for YEARS and NEVER had a problem. Last time I called to ask about my check and asked Peter (te guy that answers when you call) about the reviews, and he said there are really only two or three good sites out there all competing for the same business, and other site owners are VERY competitive and leave us bad reviews all the time, and theres not much they can do about it because they're not real customers. He said they reach out to people who write reviews and half the time the names or emails don't match whos sending in calcs, they're not really people so they can't contact them. Maybe they don't wanna put their real names, maybe they're fake, or maybe they're real. I have no clue. All i know is that I've sent in calculatotors at least 6-7 times and always got paid.

I read all the horrible reviews but decided to try this site anyway - So glad I did. I sent them about fifty TI-83's that I felt were not in that great of shape. I expected to receive less than half of the quote I got on the website, but damned if they didn't send me nearly the whole amount. Yes, it took about 3-4 weeks total but I received payment with no problems and would definitely use this site in the future.

I sent in a group of 15 TI-83's last month with one of the company's free shipping labels. I am based in Upstate NY so it shipped quickly -- just two days. I received a message from a Customer Service Representative that Cash4Calcs was inspecting my calculators. Within 24 hours, I received my expected payment in full.

Very positive experience.

I used to sell calcs on ebay, but they take SO much out in fees... up to 12%, and you have to pay for shipping... I get around the same from cash4calcs, and they pay for shipping and drop it right into my paypal account just like with ebay. I'; ve spoken to a few ppl over there (andy) and they know me by name, always give good prices. I've never had any delays with being paid, usually a day or two after i get the email saying they got it

I sent in my pink Ti 84 + and received payment within 3 days. I was surprised by the service and will definitely use it again after my college math course :)

My review got deleted so I'm posting it again because I think this site deserves a chance... fishy fishy! Few of my friends use this site and they love it, nobody I know has had any problems yet.
