BuyMyTronics.com was a company specializing in the resale of electronics, headquartered in Denver, Colorado.[1] Established in 2007 under the original name BuyMyBrokeniPod.com,[2] the enterprise concentrated on acquiring used and damaged cell phones, iPods, iPhones, gaming consoles, PDAs, MP3 players, Apple laptops, and other obsolete electronic devices.[3][4]
History
Brett Mosley founded and managed BuyMyTronics.com starting in 2007. During its inaugural year, the company experienced swift growth by employing two staff members, repairing approximately 1,000 iPod units, and providing services for iPhones and gaming consoles. Devices restored to working order were sold through online channels, while those unsuitable for repair were disassembled to harvest components. This approach balanced profitability with efforts to reduce electronic waste.[2] Weekly operations involved handling hundreds of electronics—including cell phones, iPods, iPhones, gaming consoles, PDAs, Apple laptops, and MP3 players—with complimentary shipping offered to customers.[1][5]Cite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad name
