Our Story
We pay cash for used gadgets, easy as that. Then we send them on their way to a fresh life with new owners. Gazelle is simple, it's green, and it works for everyone. How did we get here?
The Gazelle story began with the realization that if you can trade in a used car why can’t you trade in a used phone. A new business, and a new way to reuse consumer electronics, was born.
Gazelle opened its doors in 2007 and began pioneering this new idea we call reCommerce. We launched Gazelle.com in 2008 offering a simple online trade-in service, with instant quotes and free shipping, and things really began to take off.
Today Gazelle is the nation’s leading consumer electronics trade-in site. We’ve handled more than 1 million consumer devices and paid out nearly $100 million for items people no longer needed. Our team has grown, with our headquarters in Boston and operations facilities in Texas and Kentucky.
But Gazelle is about more than numbers. It's about reCommerce: Changing the way we all think about buying, owning, selling and recycling. We work hand-in-hand with our customers to enhance value and make good things happen in every part of the consumer electronics lifecycle.
That's our story. Now how can we help you?
- I've got a device to sell
- I'm ready to work for Gazelle
- I'm with the press and I have a question
- I'd like to buy in volume from Gazelle
