The whole point of these machines (same apply for "Cashies" shops) is convenience, sure you get paid next to nothing, but whatever the machine offer you, you are garanteed to get. You can get much more on Ebay, but you can also get scammed and get nothing at all (or even negative with all the fees/postage). Only problem I see is older people who are unaware they can get paid more elsewhere and who will use these machines before other alternatives.

@@bigk777 no, I used to work for an armored car company. We handled the "ATM" aspect of the machine only. "Supposedly" they did the phones at first too, but that contract changed long before I got there. We were just a 3rd party contractor that was responsible for replacing and replenishing the physical cash inside the vault, and replacing the roll of stickers that it dispenses to place on the devices.

It is around $380 to $450 they ofter for a s24 ultra, which is still lower then eBay, or Facebook but more then half of used market value. As just looked up online as you can check without even needing to go to the machine Those machines are not recommend as for convenience and you can get way more selling it yourself, or using as a trade-in if you upgrade down the road. The only benefit is for those that want to literally recycle a old smart phone and don't care about the money back, or those that literally rather not deal with eBay, or Facebook period and it a new highend phone, then ar least you get a little over half the used market value and don't have to deal with the hassle of reselling it yourself and risk fraud buyers. Better then most pawnshops, or 3rd party cellphone stores in that regard. Budget phones not worth even trying to resell except for on eBay.

when I was younger, I had an old Samsung Galaxy S6 edge that I would use every time I went to my grandma's house. this phone was mine for years, and I had so many pictures (and surprisingly a minecraft pocket edition world I spent YEARS on) and one day I visit just to find out she took it to an eco atm. this phone had some of the last pictures of my childhood dog who recently had passed away on it, and a lot of important photos I had yet to back up. the worst part is, since the battery life was bad, and the screen was slightly cracked, the eco atm didnt even give her money for it... she recycled my phone without my permission (only reason I left it there was I had no internet at home at the time, and I was a kid, I didnt have cell service.)

You would be surprised how many of your supposedly "lost" souvenirs parents and other family elders just throw away as you are growing up. xd They just don't realize how a child can be so deeply attached to some items and/or how can it fully own things. Though, that same child doesn't realize this fact and that it has to somewhat protect/preserve them. It's kinda funny to think their own childhood thingies could have been treated the same in the past.

Possibly the machine takes an xray to ensure the internal components match up? That's probably another reason why it closes the big door. It also needs to look at a unique ID (probably the IMEI) on the phone (which is why that Samsung one didn't work, it probably couldn't get that IMEI). The IMEI will tell you a LOT about a phone, such as what model of phone, and also more importantly, if it's stolen. Even if you fake the IMEI, it's gonna have to be the EXACT SAME phone model, as well as (by my speculation) a matching xray (which can be difficult to fake). If you manage to fake all that, well it has your ID so it can report you to authorities, ESPECIALLY if you try sneaking many phony bricks past them.

if you wanna sell a phone quickly, head to a small third-party repair shop, they often buy phones. You're obviously not going to get anywhere near ebay prices but you're going to get farrrrrrr better than what these shitty ecoATMs will give you. Many walmarts for example will have a shop inside that would buy your phone. Even if it's totally smashed, the shop I work at in particular will swap a temporary screen onto the phone so we can give you more money if everything else checks out decently.

LOVED the security measures at the end. But as I expected, the machine kept screwing you up for your phones, seems like it's good place to get some spare cash for phones that don't really have any value left. I had a bunch of phones at one time and ended up giving them away to my older relatives that use them for Facebook 😂

Idea: buy phone shells then put putty into them to make them look like a phone, put some shiny material on it for the screen then put it in the machine, it will think it’s a real phone and profit

@@emirbaran08 the Touch ID is paired to logic board. So if you throw original home button away and replace with a new one- you will lose Touch ID and the home button only works as a button. No Touch ID. Fixing this issue is expensive. Often More than the phone is worth

Considering it had broken home button which is paired to logic board and wasn't in best shape, it was not that bad of a offer. Would likely be more of a hassle for him to sell on eBay.

If I indulged in this with my ancient devices, odds are I'd be having to pay IT to take them off my hands. A slider served me well for a long time until the battery contact points gave up trying so it was more or less dead with a charged battery. My first smartphone was a Huawei H868C which actually may still turn on. It was replaced because using a device with such meager onboard and external space these days is impossible since essential apps (to schedule appointments) are 50-200MB in size. Or more. Even its replacement was outmoded. I just use that as another clock/alarm. Considering I've never paid more than $35 for one and have been using my current one for 7 years now, it's no loss to me. The increasing size of apps still irks me to no end. It's the equivalent of Adobe Reader which is unnecessarily huge for what it is and all the program does is open documents and allows editing. It's not freakin' PhotoShop.

Yea if I remember correctly. The early models didn't have all that security on it when selling a phone. But, I do remember all the smart phone being picked up at all the thrift stores around the time those machines came out. Then yes, I saw people standing at them going through a box of phones to get money. Also reminds me of the troll line. They rip you off and don't pay you anything. Same for selling used cd's, children clothing, etc, etc. House for cash. :)

Eco-ATM is well known for giving very low offers. But if you've got a for-parts phone and it can't detect what the actual fault is, seems like it's not bad selling it to ecoATM.
