A second opinion on
what your tech is worth.

Our Journey

We started inspecting devices instead of just buying them

Selling a used phone, tablet, or laptop usually means one of two bad options: haggling with a stranger from a marketplace listing, or accepting a lowball “up to” quote that shrinks the moment your device gets a real look.

Buyback Surgeon exists to close that gap. We buy devices working or broken — phones, tablets, and computers — and we built the whole process around a simple idea: the number we quote you is the number you get paid, unless the device itself tells a different story.

If an inspection turns up something that changes the value, we tell you before doing anything else. Decline the new offer, and we mail your device straight back — no charge, no argument.

What you can expect, in writing

These aren’t marketing lines — they’re the terms every device that comes through our doors is actually held to.

• You’re paid 100% of the quoted value No “up to” pricing. The condition you describe is the price you’re quoted, and the price you’re quoted is what lands in your account.
• Nothing taken off the top No processing fees eating into your payout. The number we quote is the number you receive, whichever payout method you choose.
• Shipping is free, both directions Print a prepaid, trackable label to send your device in. If it ever needs to go back to you, that trip is free too.
• Payment goes out the next business day Once your device arrives and clears inspection, we don’t sit on your payment; it’s sent the following business day.
