  8. Wrong Item models and testing

You can choose to continue the sale for the revised value or reject it. If so, we will return the item to you free of charge, the sale will not progress and our agreement will terminate. To accept or reject a revised value, either proceed or reject the revised value email.

If we determine your item(s) is damaged or not of the grade that you initially specified when submitting your sale order, we may, at our discretion, pay for the damaged item(s) but the value will be less than indicated on our website during point of sale order. Accordingly, if a item(s) which we receive is damaged, then we will value the item to take account of the damage (in accordance with our grading policy) and send a revised value by email or phone.

  12. Value and payment
  13. item values on our website are indicative only and we are not obliged to pay the initially quoted value if, when we receive your gadget, we determine that it has a lower value if it fails to meet these Terms. Values are valid for 14 days from the date on which you place a sales order except that values may vary from those initially given on our website, as provided in these Terms. We may extend the period for which gadget values are valid for but shall not under any circumstances be obliged to do so.
  14. Under no circumstances will payment be dispatched before we receive your item. Payment is in accordance with the method you select in the sale order process. The possible payment methods are PayPal, BACS payment
  15. Payment processing and timings depend on third parties which we do not control. For payment by PayPal, this involves a 3rd Party service and for BACS payments, a bank. We will not be liable for delay in your receipt of payment as a result of third party action or inaction or once we have issued instructions for payment. We aim to issue instructions for payment within 48 hours of the day on which your Item(s) is tested and confirmed to meet our Terms where valuations do not change; or within 48 hours of the expiry of the three day revalue period referred to above where a gadget value does change. Timescales are indicative only and we do not guarantee to meet them.
  16. The criteria used to value items are based on numerous factors including changes in market value. We may change the way in which we value Items at any time and without notice. Item values may change from day to day which means that if you check the value of your item on any given day but do not place a sale order, you may be given a different value for the same item at a later time. This does not affect any other provisions in these Terms. Any special offers on item values are subject to particular terms which we may impose and may be varied or withdrawn at any time and without notice. Values are shown and payments are made in pounds sterling.
  17. Each item is processed separately, even if included in a multiple item sale order. We may send payment for each item separately. Nothing shall oblige us to complete any transaction with you, make a payment or fulfil our obligation to you in accordance with these Terms if we become insolvent, enter into an arrangement with administrators or if anything similar occurs, in which case our agreement with you will end immediately.
  18. Payments are also subject to validation and security checks which we or third parties may stipulate from time to time. Payments are non-transferable and will be made to the payee named as instructed in the sale order. If you would like someone else to receive payment, you must ensure you have all the correct details and authorization. Payments will be sent in the case of postal payments to the address you stipulate when you set up your account. Payments sent in the post will be sent via second class Royal Mail post (3-5 days’ delivery time). Payments are made using the details which you provide. You must ensure that you provide all correct, accurate details, including without limit, payment and account details. We will not be liable if you fail to receive a payment or suffer a loss (including if a payment is sent to an incorrect account) as a result of your failure to input all payment and other details correctly, completely and accurately. In the case that a cheque duplicate needs to be raised due to incorrect details being input at the point of sale, you will be liable to cover all administrative fees issued for a duplicate cheque. The total value will be subtracted from any payments owing. If the administration fee is greater than the fee owed, no cheque payment will be sent as a result.
  19. Collecting Your ItemWe will send a collection agent to your location on the day you have specified on the collection calendar. The collection agent will be supplied with a security container. If an item is supplied that is incorrect or missing. We will track the weight of the container to determine the point in transit that the item went missing.

You should carefully package your items when we collect them to ensure that they are not damaged in transit. We advise that the item should be covered in at least an inch of packaging surrounding the item.
