Customer Reviews

Here are some comments from customers who were glad they trusted a specialist.

Yokohama, Kanagawa, man in his 30s, Mail-in Buyback

"I had a spare wired earphone left over after an upgrade and searched around because it seemed a waste to throw it out. Figuring a specialist would value even an older model, I went with POTAODE Audio Buyback. I just sent it in, got a valuation by the same day at the earliest, and was happy with the maximum amount. It was sorted out without any hassle and felt great."

Suginami, Tokyo, man in his 40s, In-store Buyback

"I was sorting out a classic unit I owned in order to upgrade to a high-end DAP. I wasn't sure they'd recognize its value, but the specialist staff looked at everything down to the accessories and original box and valued it at market price, which convinced me. I was able to put it toward my next purchase."

Suita, Osaka, woman in her 50s, On-site Buyback

"I was sorting through headphones and amps my father left behind. I was at a loss because I didn't know the model numbers or their value, and there were too many to carry, so I requested on-site buyback. They reviewed each item carefully and I felt comfortable leaving it to them."

Fukuoka, Fukuoka, man in his 20s, LINE Appraisal then Mail-in Buyback

"I just wanted to know the price first, so I sent photos via LINE and got an estimate right away. I was satisfied, so I sold by mail-in. Everything was done on my phone, and even as a first-timer I never felt lost."

Sapporo, Hokkaido, man in his 60s, On-site Buyback

"I sold my collection of earphones and recables all at once. There was no specialist shop nearby and I'd nearly given up, but their on-site buyback for large-volume cases was able to come to me, which was a big help. I'm satisfied that a specialist appraised them."
