ecoATM is owned by Gazelle, which is owned by a private equity firm. Their kiosks are programmed to maximize per-transaction profit. They underpay consistently to protect their margins — often by 60–70% compared to what a local buyer will pay.
The convenience of a kiosk is real. You can sell 24/7, no human interaction required. But that convenience costs you hundreds of dollars on an iPhone 15 Pro.
At CashForPhonesAZ, you talk to a real person who knows phones. We make a competitive offer because we want your phone. Our margins come from volume and expertise — not from underpaying you.
