## Tiptop Launches Convenient Trade-In Program: Save Money and Reduce E-Waste
### Uncover the Hidden Value in Your Home
Have an old phone sitting in a drawer or a laptop collecting dust in your closet? You could be sitting on a treasure trove of unused electronics. With an increasing focus on sustainability and the rising issue of e-waste, responsibly disposing of these items—and even making some money in the process—has never been more critical. Enter Tiptop, a groundbreaking trade-in program that retailers can easily incorporate into their online checkout process.
### Why Tiptop Stands Out
While trading in old devices isn’t a novel idea, existing trade-in programs have limitations. Apple’s trade-in program, for example, only accepts Apple products and a few select Android phones. This excludes a wide range of electronics like old PCs, VR headsets, and digital cameras. Tiptop aims to bridge this gap by offering a more comprehensive trade-in solution.
### How Tiptop Works
During online shopping, you usually encounter several payment options at checkout: credit card, PayPal, or Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) services like Klarna or Afterpay. Tiptop introduces a new layer to this process by enabling consumers to receive an instant trade-in quote for their devices before completing their purchase.
Here’s a step-by-step guide:
1. **Select Tiptop at Checkout**: At the checkout screen on participating retailer websites, you’ll see Tiptop as an option.
2. **Redirect to Tiptop’s Site**: You’ll be redirected to Tiptop’s site, where you can opt to get a trade-in quote immediately or pay now and trade in later.
3. **Choose Your Trade-In**: If you choose to get a quote right away, you’ll be presented with a wide range of products you can trade in, including video game consoles, portable speakers, drones, and power tools.
4. **Receive Instant Quote**: Once you select the item for trade-in, you’ll receive an instant quote that can be applied toward your current purchase.
### Partnering Retailers
As of July 19th, eight retailers have integrated Tiptop into their checkout process. These include:
– Phone Daddy
– Nothing
– Cradlewise
– Daylight
– King of Christmas
– Backbone
– Upgraded
– MagFast
By shopping on any of these sites, you can take advantage of Tiptop’s trade-in program to save money.
### Practical Example
Suppose you want to buy the $99 Backbone One controller for your iPhone. By trading in a Meta Quest 2 through Tiptop, you could save $70, reducing your total to $37.79 after taxes and fees.
### Conclusion
Tiptop’s innovative trade-in program is set to transform how we manage outdated electronics. By offering a convenient and inclusive platform for trading in various devices, it helps consumers save money while promoting responsible e-waste disposal. Whether you want to upgrade your tech or declutter your home, Tiptop offers an easy and rewarding solution.
