I went onto Buymytronics.com website and got a quote to purchase my 2 year old Apple I phone and its accessories for $106.00. Per their instructions, I printed the mailing label from their website after agreeing to their terms on their website. I then ordered a new phone and after it arrived and was activated I mailed my used phone and accessories to Buymytronics.com as agreed. A week later I was notified on their website that instead of $106.00 I was only being paid $64.00. When I asked for an explanation, I was told that even though my phone was in the agreed upon condition and included the promised accessories, because my phone arrived 17 days after I had printed the mailing label, rather than the maximum of 14 days stated in their website agreement, my phone had lost over $40.00 in value in just 3 days. I then told them I did not want their money, and asked that they return my phone. They said that they no longer had my phone, and my only option was to take their $64.00 offer. I checked the buymytronics website on the SAME DAY that they said that the "market value" of my phone had dropped $40.00 in value, and buymytronics was offering to pay $111.00 for the exact same I phone that I had, with the same accessories and in the same condition. So there can be no explanation for their handling of my transaction, other than the fact that this was a pure "bait and switch" scam, and very likely is a practice that this company pulls on consumers on a regular basis.
