Broken Buy.com is the only as-is marketplace for broken electronics. We have made a living buying and selling broken electronics in our local market of Portland, and in a few short years we have grossed over a million dollars in sales.
Instead of offering people pennies on the dollar for customers electronics, we have created a place where people can market them to buyers we have set up from all around the world. By doing this they receive on average 40% more from our site compared to others. Our site is safe like eBay and easy like craigslist, I bet someone reading this has a broken smartphone or iPad lying around. We recently bought a broken iPad for $25 and sold it for $200 broken. We don’t fix anything we are just the middle men.
We use to pocket the $175 to run our local business, but we now offer the customer a larger return for their item and take a small fee. With millions of transactions the fee will add up very quickly and that’s why we are looking for help. We need to grow our internet presence. We are also launching Broken Blue book, it will be the only online guide for broken electronics. We will be the Kelly Blue Book of electronics with this.
We have a proven model we just need a little help.
Broken Blue book will be an online guide to the value of broken electronics. People will be able to log in and find the value of their items and vendors will pay us to be the preferred buying for the web page.
I work for one of the largest auto groups on the Portland metro area. I am currently the sales manager and I am responsible for the training and managing for 30 employees. I oversee the finance department as well as sales for the dealership. Sales has taught me a lot about people and business and management. I have made many mistakes but I have always learned from them and then walked away from the experience smarter and stronger.
