It seems each year the kids' back to school lists get a little longer and a little pricier, yeah?  With so many cutbacks in funding for schools across the nation, many teachers and parents are having to dig into their own pockets to provide school supplies and necessities that were once readily available in the classroom.  Middle school's school supply lists are especially lengthy and include the expected lunch bag and filler paper.  But what about what your tweens are really expecting:  a cell phone, a tablet and dare I say, a laptop?

​Well that's fine if you use Gazelle.  Gazelle is the leading reCommerce company that buys and sells pre-owned consumer electronics. Gazelle purchases used smartphones, tablets, laptops and desktops, which they then inspect, certify and sell to consumers looking for cost effective ways to stay connected. We then inspect, certify and sell them to consumers looking for a cost effective way to stay connected.

For today's tweens and teens, technology is part of everyday life--they've never known a day without cell phones, tablets, laptops or desktop computers. They're watching TV, movies and streaming videos on all sorts of electronic devices whether or not they are provided by their parents or school systems.  For example, remember when your friend(s) had access to VCRs and DVDs but you didn't?  Or maybe you were that friend.  Remember how excited you were to share your movies-on-demand experiences with your friends?  Of course as parents, our goal is to provide healthy development and learning for our children all while staying connected with them.   Gazelle can help do that with affordable, refurbished electronics.
All Gazelle Store products are pre-owned devices that go through a certification process that involves light refurbishment.  The Gazelle certification process includes a rigorous inspection process involving a 30 point functional and cosmetic inspection. This ensures that the devices you order are in accurate cosmetic condition and perfect working order. Additionally, all devices are reset to factory settings prior to shipment!  You also get:
​

  • 30 day risk free returns
