This works
April 24, 2016

I've used Swappa twice - once to sell and once to buy a phone. The experience has been great. Swappa is a professional, responsive site. I feel like the sellers and buyers do a good job of representing products well.

Great site
April 24, 2016

It could not have been better, joined, and a few days later got a mint condition phone for about 1/2 price compared to the cell provider. It was indeed in mint condition and works great. Activated and enjoying it. The manager at the Sprint wanted to know where I got it, thought it was brand new. I told him and he never heard of Swappa but went to the site while I was there and was very interested.
Thanks Swappa

Thanks, Swappa

Swappa is a great place to buy phones. Prices are right and the best thing... the staff. I had an issue with a seller and the staff immediately gave me advice on how to proceed.

To make a buck
April 23, 2016

There are some great deals on swappa for everyone out there. Some of us are selling and some of us is buy. You just have to be carful and to weed out the that are trying to rip you off. Meaning the ones that are selling there junk so read there description carefully and ask questions. Because on swappa some people are making money are some people are saving money. For me I buy good items here and take to my country and sell it there toake a few bucks. So have fun and buy something and pay what you feel it's worth to you.

Easy Peasy
April 22, 2016

A great way to get and sell items. I sold a phone and watch this week and it was easy to do. I also bought an apple watch and that worked good too.

I've purchased 3 devices via Swappa now and it's a great process. They require full information on devices and even have a post sale process to verify that the item is as described. They have great information on their site about how to verify functionality and ability to activate the device. Overall just a great place to find electronics for a lower than new price.

Great experience
April 22, 2016

I've never bought a used phone before, so I was wary about whether the phone would be in good condition. I need not have worried. The phone was perfect - like new.

Every time I have used Swappa the items have been exactly as advertised, shipped in a quick fashion, and have been less expensive than alternative websites.

I bought many phones on swappa and never had troubles. I was however a bit hesitant about buying Samsung because of all the clones going around. I was burned once before on ebay. Needless to say this transaction went just as they all should and I was confident swappa would have been a good intermediary in case something went sour.

Everything went as advertised
April 22, 2016

Swappa is a very easy to use site and I am very pleased with my purchase using their site. I bought a used Samsung Galaxy S5 phone and everything was sent as advertised and very promptly. The site allowed for easy communication between me and the seller and has a handy checklist to make sure the device is working properly which I used. I couldn't be happier, thank you!

I bought an IPhone 6 plus and after a month and 3 weeks of having the phone I wake up in the middle of the night to check my phone and the screen is black and will not power on. So I take it to the Apple Store and they have no idea why it did this. Of course the phone is out of warranty now (my luck) The phone was in "mint" condition when it was bought. I never even dropped the phone or got near any water/liquid. Swappa will not do anything to help you get your money back. They boast about having no "junk phones" yet here I am looking crazy with a $450 paperweight.

Nice Site
April 21, 2016

I like the methodology of the website. I feel you have a much better understanding of your choices; and the Swappa staff seems committed to the concept. And the result from my viewpoint was perfect.

Awesome service

Everything went exactly like described. Always a little sketched out by websites like this but both the website and seller held true! Will definitely look to come back!

It's great being able to go to a website and buy a phone that has been reviewed by the swappa staff to ensure it has a clean imei, not on a lease program and that the picture of the phones is the device you will relieve. This was my frost time buying from them and will do so again very soon! Thank you swappa for help taking the guess work out of buying devices!
