14 DAY TRIAL // eCycleBest, a “green” buyback service provider in the United States, has announced a killer iPhone deal that promises to dwarf any offer put forth by rivals Walmart and Best Buy.
The company acknowledges in a press statement that “top electronics retailers are scrambling to exhaust their iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 stock.”
That’s true. Apple is not only expected to launch its bi-annual S-upgrade, but also a cheaper version of the company’s smartphone for the very first time in the history of the iPhone.
Best Buy and Walmart are now selling iPhones at prices up to 70% less than before but, while these offers sound appealing at first glance, eCycleBest says there's a catch.
According to the company, “each promotion comes with a required 2-year service contract commitment with a major US carrier which can run anywhere from $1,200 for an individual plan to $2,040 for a shared plan.”
Moreover, to benefit from Best Buy's free iPhone 5 offer, “the traded 4S has to be in good working condition, and the $150 payback is only issued in trade-in credit – never cash,” says eCycleBest.
There’s more. Even if you’re eligible to make the most of these offers, you’re still limited to get the iPhone 5S on contract pricing for the next twenty four months. This is where eCycleBest comes in and puts a new type of deal on the table.
The company is “responding to the upcoming launch of the iPhone 5S and the iPhone Light.”
They promise to give you as much as $259 for an iPhone 4S in good working condition; $155 for an iPhone 4S that doesn't power on; $220 for one that has a busted battery; and $168 if the screen is damaged.
“And by paying via PayPal or check, the company gives their clients the freedom to spend their cash wherever they want,” eCycleBest adds.
The tree-hugging company does its best to keep toxic e-waste out of U.S. landfills and ensures that all traded devices are processed and sold in the U.S. market as quality refurbished products, or repair parts.
