The service is good. People there are effective. Just for fair new products with great running condition, 20% of the original price offer is not necessarily fair.

Waste of time offer was disrespectfully low lol I would recommend ebay unless your just trying to get rid of some old tech and don’t care about the money.

This place is great and trustworthy! I’m a long time customer (since 2013) and they have paid me for two of my old Mac computers and also a computer monitor over the years. They have also recycled some old hard drives. Caio and Alex are very friendly and awesome to deal with. I highly recommend Recycle My Machine!

Hi Andrianik - For a computer we would ask you to please bring this item in for an evaluation so our technicians can test the item out, get the full specs (hard drive, graphics card, RAM, processor speed, etc), and get you an accurate quote. The evaluation takes about 15 minutes, there is no obligation to sell and we pay in cash. All you would need to bring is you item, any chargers or accessories, and a valid photo ID like a driver’s license or a passport. We are at our West LA store on SATURDAY from 12:30-6:30pm. The address is 12124 Santa Monica Blvd, Los Angeles CA 90025. There is plenty of street parking at both locations. No appointment is needed, you can come anytime! We do our best to offer the most of any store that buys used electronics, but we are not able to pay retail prices for used items. As soon as electronics are used and not factory sealed, their value drops from new,retail prices. Thanks and let me know if you have any questions! Best, Andrew

we generally can buy PC laptops that are around 9-10 years old or newer, it all depends on the condition, function, and full specs (hard drive, motherboard, RAM, processor speed and graphics card.) For a computer we would ask you to bring it to our West LA store on Saturday, or our downtown LA warehouse Tuesday-Friday for a brief evaluation so we can determine the current market value. Thank you!

What are the Covid safety practices like here?

Anonymous | Sep 1, 2022
Recycle My Machine | Sep 1, 2021

We are doing everything possible to keep our customers safe. We have implemented a "drop off and go" policy in our stores. Now customers simply drop off their electronics for us to test and provide their cell phone numbers. We will call them when their items are finished being tested. This ensures proper social distancing. Additionally, all of our employees wear masks, and all customers are required to wear masks when in the store. We are fully committed to your safety during this difficult time, and will continue to pay the most cash for your electronics on Saturdays from 12:30-3:30pm. If you have any questions, you can call us anytime at 424-234-3852. Thank you!

We have an old iPad with a cracked screen, but it works fine. Will you buy it?

Ann-Louise Johansson | Sep 1, 2020
Recycle My Machine | Sep 1, 2020

Hi Ann-Louise - we do buy ipads with cracked screens, but it depends what generation. A first or 2nd gen iPad with a cracked screen is worth very little. A Mini, Air or Pro model will be worth more. A 3rd, 4th and 5th gen will be worth more as well. We would just need to evaluate the item including the generation, as well as the memory and carrier. Thanks!
