Frequently Asked Questions
For Sellers
Why should I
sell to you, especially if I might be able to get more elsewhere?
PROMPT PAYMENT. We pay you within a week of receiving the units.
NO WORRY. You know who you are dealing with. We publish
Smartphone & Pocket PC magazine. Thaddeus Computing has been
supporting, buying and selling handhelds since 1985. References available upon
request.
INTEGRITY. We are fair, honest, and in business for the long term. We keep our
promises. See testimonial page.
How do you
determine what you will pay or if you will buy?
Fundamentally, it depends on how resalable we think the units are. The older
the model, the greater the perceived risk; the poorer the condition, the less
we will pay. On the other hand, if we know we have a market and the units
won't be in inventory long, we will pay more.
Your company
seems to focus on handhelds such as the Pocket PC with Microsoft-based
operating systems. Will you buy Palms or Psions?
It will depend on the interest of potential buyers. We are quite knowledgeable
about Windows Powered devices and feel more confident in judging their worth.
However, we are not closed to buying other devices.
Why the
significant differential between what you will pay and what you will sell
units for?
There are many hidden costs associated with buying and selling units that may
not be obvious. First, it is a labor intensive operation. Units need to be
purchased, tested, cleaned, and repaired. Second, we want to make the process
of purchasing used units as risk free for our customers as possible.
Therefore, we assume the cost of our generous guarantee. Third, we have to
hold many units in inventory, some of which we will never sell. Finally,
marketing our services, making our services known is an expensive process.
Where should we ship the
units?
