This company is a total rip off. They bait and switched me for an agreed trade vale on my Macbook which was in PERFECT condition. They change the price they promised and blame software issues that does not exist. I followed every step to clean the hard drive as they instructed, removed the device from my Apple ID and turned off find my computer as they instructed.
They kept my accessory and told me it was destroyed (my Apple hard case I paid $150 for) when they say the will return accessories to you. I was promised $330 they gave me some story about software security and told me I can only get $160. This is 100% a bait and switch. I followed every instruction they gave me, never made changes to the computer.
They are a dishonest company and will rip you off. I wonder if they are going to return my computer in good order because I will not accept their bait and switch.
Offer trade in of an older ipad for a proposed amount, but then make up some flimsy excuse to reduce the amount they originally offered. Avoid this company, it's an old-fashioned, bait-and-swith operation.
In this case they claim that a pixel did not work. Which of course, is simply not true.
Phobio is a Mac recycling partner that promises a seamless device buyback program for Apple users to receive cash for their old devices by providing simple trade-in options. The process was extremely time consuming and certainly not simple. They were recommended to us by the sales person at the apple store when we upgraded my wife's computer. They offered us $300 for our Apple MacBook Air Core i7 (in perfect condition). After we sent them our computer, they changed the offer to $90 on a basis of some poor excuse that it had software missing (they recommended that we call Apple-Care and re-load it). We found Phobio to be deceitful and a scam. Also, shame on Apple for working with this shady company.
