475 Million estimated idle devices by 2019 (Compass Intelligence, 2015)

Gazelle ecoATM wants those devices.

2.1 Million Estimated # of devices stolen annually (Consumer Reports)

We avoid those devices.

177 Million  Estimated # of devices that will be recycled by 2019 (Compass Intelligence, 2015)

Enter Gazelle ecoATM

We provide a safe, secure, and innovative way to recycle used devices.

• There are more than 2,000 Gazelle ecoATM recycling kiosks in the U.S.
• Kiosks are in 42 of states.

We help cops catch bad guys.

• Law enforcement has solved numerous crime sprees with the help of Gazelle ecoATM.
• Listening to our law enforcement partners, ecoATM has deployed multiple layers of technology and processes to screen for and block stolen devices.

Layers of Defense

Layer 1

Greeting sellers at our kiosks are 3 high-resolution cameras. Sellers must deactivate the device’s kill switch. All customers are told we work closely with law enforcement.

Layer 2

All transactions monitored in real time by ID verification agents. Analytics & algorithms block suspicious transactions. Engage in fraudulent or criminal activity at our kiosks, and you’re banned for life.

Layer 3

Assuretec reader indicates if an ID is counterfeit or altered. Checkmend can tell us if a device is lost or stolen. We create or comply with “do not buy” lists.

Layer 4

A transaction report —including a head shot of the customer, a thumbprint scan, a copy of a photo ID, and a pic of the device and its serial number—is created for every user. If police want to view the report or a suspicious device, we comply, no questions asked.

Moving in the Right Direction

• Less than 1% of devices that are recycled at our kiosks are stolen.
• There has been a 33% decline in cell phone theft from 2013 to 2014 (Consumer Reports)

Efforts by elected officials, law enforcement, and Gazelle ecoATM are working!

A new epidemic is on the horizon and it’s plaguing smartphone users everywhere. It’s called unprotected text and we’re here to warn you of its dangers.

Ever used a phone with a cracked screen? Chances are you have, and that makes you an unprotected text offender. But guess what? You’re not alone. In fact, you’re one of millions. At Gazelle, we see thousands of broken screens each day, some in quite hazardous conditions. We found that users who engage in unprotected text often don’t consider the risks. And that’s why we’re putting an end to the debate about cracked screens.

Engaging in Unprotected Text is dangerous. So, first consider the facts before you send a risky text:

No one is having ‘the talk’

Rarely are they replaced

And yes, you are in danger

While some users are afraid of risky text, others defy the odds – placing themselves at risk for injuries. Many of our own customers reported injuries like glass cuts in fingers and nicks to the ear while unprotected texting.

Well, we’re here to prevent this problem. And it starts now.

Do you have a shattered screen story? Now is your opportunity to stop this epidemic from spreading. Go to our Facebook page and tell the world your shattered screen story and prevent others from doing the same. You’ll be automatically entered to win a Gazelle Certified pre-owned iPhone or iPad, which will be awarded weekly. And don’t forget to share your story on social media using #UnprotectedText and @Gazelle.

Smaller than an original iPod with the ability to hold 80 minutes of music on a standard MiniDisc, more than the standard cassette would allow (23 minutes per side), the MiniDisc player was compact enough to beat out the Discman portable CD player but had the cool factor that far outpaced the Walkman. It should have been the ultimate portable music device.

Quick trivia break: which was the first MiniDisc to be released in the US by a recording studio? Find the answer at the bottom.

So what happened? The big benefit the MiniDisc had over CDs was that it was re-recordable, like a cassette, but could be scanned like a CD. As CD-Rs became more affordable, and prices for MiniDisc players and media stayed high, technology buffs started to move over toward CDs even more heavily, leaving the MiniDisc as a legend in Japan, but few other places. At the same time, record companies weren’t producing albums on the MiniDisc at nearly the same rate they were for cassettes and CDs, because the customers just weren’t there. The combination of those factors led to the downfall of the MiniDisc.

Unbelievably, Sony continued to sell MiniDisc players until March 2013! You’d have to be incredibly devoted to MiniDiscs to be buying those players last year…probably the same people who still insist on buying cars with eight-track players.

So for this week’s Technology Throwback Thursday, let’s celebrate the coolest musical innovation that never took off. The MiniDisc player may well be the Betamax to CDs and MP3 players, but at least they got their moment in the sun. A very, very brief moment…mostly in Japan.

And Mariah Carey’s MTV Unplugged was the first MiniDisc to be released in the US by a recording studio on December 7, 1992.
