SpeedSell
helps APPLE MAC OWNERS SELL unwanted laptops Innovative website offers
instant online quote to buy old MacBooks, iBooks & PowerBooks with free
packaging and home/workplace collection June
03, 2009 – London – SpeedSell,
a new business helping consumers sell unwanted electronics, begins trading
Apple Macs today. SpeedSell is the
UK’s first online ‘rag and bone’ business, offering instant online prices and
free collection from home or the workplace. Mac owners can now make money selling old items without the
hassle and uncertainty of trying to use auction websites. SpeedSell
is a new concept in selling, giving sellers an instant online price for their
unwanted items. Sellers find their item and answer a few questions at http://www.SpeedSell.com:
a price is then instantly generated online. SpeedSell offers free
packaging and free next-working-day
courier collection from homes and workplaces anywhere in the UK on all Apple
Macs. Sellers can also post items
to SpeedSell from any Post Office. Items are checked at SpeedSell’s processing
centre and sellers are paid within 4
days by cheque or PayPal. “Selling with SpeedSell typically takes less
than two minutes” said George Bevis, CEO of SpeedSell. “Although most British internet users
have bought using auction websites
like eBay, few choose to sell there.
People see selling in auctions as inconvenient and risky. SpeedSell
makes selling easy and risk-free.” SpeedSell’s
consumer research (conducted by
independent agency GMI) shows that
28% of British people say they never sell, and another 34% sell only 1-2 times
per year. SpeedSell
has been trading games consoles and games for over a year to ensure a perfect
customer experience for high volumes of sellers. SpeedSell is now buying Mac laptops (MacBook, MacBook Pro,
iBook, PowerBook etc), offering up to
£975 for a 17” MacBook Pro or £592 for MacBook Air. The company expects to begin trading desktop Macs later in
2009. At
a time when British finances are stretched, Mac users will find SpeedSell a
convenient way to release value from unwanted electronics. SpeedSell expects a rush of sellers as
the recession deepens, and advises customers to sell their Macs early to get
the highest price. SpeedSell
uses specially developed mathematical techniques to predict the resale value of
items on auction sites. SpeedSell
uses these estimates to make an instant online offer to customers to buy their
items, and ultimately resells on secondary markets such as eBay. SpeedSell uses expertise in selling to
make a profit when it resells. The “Internet Rag and Bone” business model
is established in the USA but SpeedSell is the first business of its kind in
Europe. Users value the speed,
convenience and low risk of selling to a professional buyer like SpeedSell. For more information,
