Hello HN! This is Adam and Pulkit, the co-founders of Swapidy. We heard what you said the last time we launched, particularly your worries about our business model and "Honey" virtual currency. Since then, we have made significant changes tailored towards the user in mind.
We are 19 and 20 and grew up in an age when new devices get released every day. We've hated waiting for them till we had enough money to pay for them. Using eBay and Craigslist to sell our old stuff to upgrade for better things became a hassle at times with all the fees and driving around. So, we created a better alternative to getting new things.
We've rebuilt our site to ensure transparency in every transaction. You can now swap for a wider variety of products, get instantly paid in dollars instead of virtual currency, and use the service nationwide.
Yes, we will make money, but only to find ways to give you better deals than you could get anywhere else. If you're like us, and always want the latest phone, tablet or macbook, give us a chance to let that happen.
Thanks for the question. We try to make the transaction process as fast as possible. As long as you ship your device the same day you do your swap, you can get your new device as fast as 2 days later. USPS Priority Mail shipping is used both ways and is free of charge. The time also varies based on location.
