[UPDATE] This program has been discontinued and is no longer available. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Buying or selling your used tech online isn’t usually associated with an easy, pain-free experience. Sites like Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace don’t exactly help, making it easy for scammers to take advantage of honest people trying to find a great deal, or make some extra spending cash from their old goods. Instead of risking your money on these unsafe marketplaces and yard sale sites, we’re thrilled to announce that Swappa Local is now officially available in Charlotte, North Carolina.
What is Swappa Local?
Swappa online-only marketplace has been around since 2010, offering a safer alternative to sites like Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace. This is due to our strict ‘no junk’ policy that requires all devices to be fully functional and ready for activation. Our staff manually approves each listing before it goes live in our marketplace, and we perform background checks on used phones to ensure they haven’t been reported lost/stolen.
Swappa Local is built upon this same foundation of safety and support, only now we’re providing our users with next-day pickup and delivery for local transactions. Whether an item is available for shipping or next-day local pickup and delivery, Swappa users can rest easy knowing the devices they’re shopping for is legitimate and our support team is available 365 days a year to answer any questions or concerns along the way. With Swappa Local, you always get the best deals on newish tech without having to pay the full MSRP.
Swappa Local highlights:
- Next-day local pickup and delivery
- Get your newly purchased items fast
- No junk, broken, or blocklisted devices
- Trusted community of buyers and sellers
- 24/7 support, 365 days a year
- Swappa Local allows you to trust the tech you buy
Swappa vs other online marketplaces
Most online marketplaces offer little-to-no moderation, do nothing to verify listings, and more closely resemble device junkyards with iCloud-locked or broken devices commonly being sold by completely anonymous (and sometimes even fraudulent) users.
While other services have become a breeding ground for fraud and scammers, Swappa Local allows buyers to trust the tech they’re buying. This makes Swappa Local the best choice for buying and selling used tech in your local community — hands down.
Whether it’s our photo verification system or background checks we manually perform on used phones, there are plenty of reasons to check out Swappa Local. For more on how Swappa Local stacks up against the other guys, check out our post comparing Swappa vs OfferUp vs Letgo.
