Couldn't have gone smoother
May 19, 2016

Excellent experience. Seller was extremely prompt, paid by 10:45 am, was mailed priority the same day. Phone has operated flawlessly, and was in even better condition than advertised. I was apprehensive buying used on the internet but I can't think of a smoother way for this transaction to have gone. Very, very impressed.

Never buy used/new electronics elsewhere. Swappa is the place to buy smart phones/tablets. I've bought/sold here and would do it again

First Purchase
May 18, 2016

This was a great experience. I was a little nervous at first, but Swappa let me know via email that they were right there and would be all the way through the sale, delivery, and verification that it was okay. They delivered on their promise. They have a strict criteria and check out sellers and every item that comes through Swappa.com.

The seller, MobileSource, was awesome with quick delivery, great packaging, and my phone was exactly what they described it as. I will definitely buy from Swappa.com in the future -- and plan to sell my phones through them, as well.

I couldn't ask for a better source to buy and sell through.

Buying an amazing galaxy s6
May 15, 2016

At first, I wasn't really sure about buying a used phone but now, I am so glad I made the right choice! I got an almost flawless galaxy 6 for a very well price and everything is functioning smoothly. I pretty much got the same phone for half the price. ( new one would me 600 and got mines for 300). I recommend using Swappa since it is very trustworthy. Thank you Swappa!

I have used Swappa for over 2 years and after several times buying, I have to say I'm very happy with the quality and rating systems they use and the protection from fraudulent seller's that you find on other sites.

Love having Swappa act as the intermediary. Gives me confidence I will get what I am expecting with no risks. Used it now for both selling and buying. Couldn't be happier.

Great experience with Swappa
May 14, 2016

I bought an iPhone for my dad, which he ended up not needing. The buyer was kind enough to cancel the sale, and Swappa refunded the sale fee as a courtesy. This was very kind of them and they did not have to do this.

Swapp - The Best Site!
May 14, 2016

Swappa is the best site. I checked out several others and kept coming back to Swappa because the deals are fantastic and the company is there to assist if there is an issue. I had no issues with my purchase; I received my phone in two days! It's in great shape, just as advertised on Swappa... and I got it for a much better price than any other site.

Unexpected Surprise
May 14, 2016

Recently, a heavy rain toasted my Samsung Mega. Finding it difficult to justify the expense of purchasing a factory new device of equal quality, I decided to try one of the lower end brands. Not so good. And then another. Again, yuck. So, I thought about buying a used device of equal quality and my search brought me to Swappa. Buying a used hi-tech device online did not seem like a very smart idea but it was the only way I was going to get a phone close to what I was looking for at a price I could live with. So, I dove off the deep end and purchased a Samsung Note 4. The entire transactional experience was a very pleasant surprise. You have actual pics of the product, real message interaction with the seller, unvarnished seller reviews, AND the support of the Swappa team in the background keeping an eye on and assisting throughout the entire process. It was great and I love my new/used Note 4. Swappa's definitely got it going on. I won't hesitate to use and recommend them again. In fact, I've just received my second device through them this week. A flawless iPad 3. Another excellent transaction and a very satisfied customer. I've gotta thank Swappa for making that happen.
