Sent my Wifes Samsung S8 said they would pay £120, received email to say they received it and would get the phone looked over and get back to me within 24 to 48 hours 10 pm the same night they emailed to say sorry but the phone had screen burn and a crackling noise on the speaker when on high volume it had none of these faults if it had screen burn I wouldn't even bother selling it I know it never had that because the phone I have has got it, they offered me £28 or pay them £20 to return the phone , I told them no way was I paying them £20 to send my phone back. Once they have your phone you have no control on what happens, every phone sent to them has a fault, in the end I had to accept £34 because they stopped all correspondence with me. They are operating under other names as well Cash Your Phone and Tech Mania. How the hell are they still in buisness theybshould be in jail their making money what ever they do. If any couriers are reading these reviews please stop doing any buisness with these crooks and Trading Standards please look at the way these scumbags are treating people.

WHAT AN ABSOLUTE BUNCH OF SCAMMERS!! Do not use this company. They offered the most money for my Samsung smart watch and then tried to say that the battery was faulty and reduced the price by £35. There is no way the battery was faulty as I had everything tested before I sent to to them and now having looked at numerous other reviews it seems that this is their method of operating and they now want £20 to send the item back. No way I'm paying that. Their T&Cs say 'It is the responsibility of the customers to ensure that the correct information is selected at the point of sale and, therefore, if the device received does not match the sales order, i.e. it is a different model or the network is not correctly selected or the condition is overly estimated than the actual condition. We have the right to apply for a postal charge return, to send these items back to you. The charge is £20 and you must contact us via phone- to arrange the payment of £20 before your device is sent back to you.' Well the thing is I did supply the correct information to them at the point of sale and they cannot supply any reliable information to the contrary as far as I'm concerned so I'm going to fight these scammers all the way. How these cowboys are allowed to operate in this way I will never know but companies like this shouldn't be allowed to go about things like this without being held to account. Bottom line DO NOT USE THESE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!!!

This company, goes under the name of Handset Recycle and Tech Mania are nothing but con artists. They will NEVER pay you what they quote on their site and will question the condition of your item no matter what condition it's in. They then charge you £20 service fee if you reject their ridiculously low offer. After having no joy at all getting the phone returned, I reluctantly paid the £20 and they are now ignoring my emails and have not returned the phone. DO NOT USE TECH MANIA OR HANDSET RECYCLE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.

Like everyone that has written a review, if I could give 0 stars I would. I am another sucker to this scam. Inflated offer of £245 for my son's iPhone 8+, there are two small cracks on the screen, other than that it was in full working condition, it would be reasonable to knock the price down maybe £50-£60, but the counter offer was £56 (which I declined immediately), then it was re-offered to £65 or to pay £20 to get your phone back, I have made a bank transfer of £20 on 12th August, however the account they gave me to pay came up as TechMania. It is impossible to speak to them, I emailed repeatedly and always got the same reply to send them £20. I also found out they have appeared on Rogue Traders! I have made a complaint to UPS as this is criminal activity. UPS passed the receival confirmation (see attached) but it was showing the company name and address were not matching. It was showing that my sons phone has been delivered to 3 Mather road, Eccles in Manchester, but on google maps it shows that that address is a takeaway. I have phoned the takeaway and they have stated that they have nothing to do with the scam artists, however, they did say that there was an alleyway that they might share. I have filed a report to Citizen Advice and have informed UPS that this is a scam company that will damaged their reputation, also I will report to Manchester police, local council and Watchdog.

Terrible company, I had to chase up whether they had received my phones after they said they would reimburse me if I paid to send them off, which they didn't and they paid much less than agreed or it would cost £20 to have them sent back. They are dishonest, DONOT use them.

Its true they are a scam. Sent them my phone to buy off me but they kept saying they "are processing/testing it", and "should be ready by tomorrow". All this after keeping it for over 2 weeks. Stay away from them.

Please please do not buy from these people-they are scam artists. They give you a price and then once they get your handset they half the price stating something is wrong with the phone. They also ask you to post and then do not refund postal charges. Police, press, watchdog etc all involved. They will be shut down soon. Do not use these people. Check out the reviews on Facebook, Twitter etc.

Stay away....its a complete con. There's a reason that their offers are attractive.....its because they have no intention of paying the full amount, and once they have your item it will cost you £20 to get it back if you decline their revised offer....DO NOT FALL FOR THE SCAM, tell your friends, post warnings on Facebook/WhatsApp groups - help spread the word and let's see them out of business.

Criminal company that pays for fake 5 star reviews. Look on Trustpiot for all the 1 star reviews & reviews that have been taken down by the owner. Appeared on BBC Watchdog/ Rogue Traders. Search Computer Repairs Eccles, same company. They offer over inflated prices. And then cut the price in half and claim faults, that do not exist. You have to pay £20 to get your phone returned, still waiting :-(

Same as everyone else, completely scammed, and worn down into submission, on taking their lowball offer, seeing as it would have cost a hidden £20 to get the items returned. £60 offered for an iphone in very good condition was reduced to £15. Bare faced lies told, about screens being cracked, which were absolutely not. I wish i'd looked at the reviews before dealing with these cheats. I think this company are active in posting fake good reviews, and suggesting the bad ones have been made up. I'll happily share my order number. In short though, AVOID AVOID AVOID!
