Gazelle, one of the longest-running used smartphone buyers in the US, has announced the end of its core trade-in program, which let phone owners mail in phones and other electronics devices in exchange for cash.

The news, revealed in an email Gazelle sent to some customers on Wednesday and shared with The Verge, means any prospective Gazelle customers will have to receive a quote and initiate the trade-in process by January 31st, 2021 (allowing 30 days to mail in the phone) if they want to take advantage of the program. The service will shut down officially on February 1st, while any active trade-ins will be honored, the company says.

For one, many more people now than in years past lease their smartphones instead of buying them outright, a broad shift from the days when US carriers offered reduced price phones in exchange for firm two-year contracts.
Now, it’s quite easy to pay a modest monthly fee for a phone through a program like AT&T Next Up or Apple’s iPhone Upgrade Program, with the option to trade that device in for a new one after a designated amount of time.

Now, Apple has a robust trade-in program of its own (in addition to the leasing program) that pretty much gets you the same result.

Gazelle: Goodbye Trade-in - Here's What You Need To Know

We’re saying goodbye to our trade-in option – here’s what you need to know. Beginning February 1st, 2021, we will no longer be offering our trade-in option. If you have a trade-in that is in process right now, your trade-in will continue as planned. You can also still log in to your trade-in account to view the status of any current trade-ins.

While we will be unable to accept any future trade-ins after January 31st, 2021, we’d love to offer a different option that pays you in immediate cash for your smartphones and tablets while keeping toxic electronic waste out of the environment with ecoATM.
What is ecoATM?
ecoATM is a secure and simple way to responsibly recycle or sell your used devices.
By offering instant cash, their goal is to reward those who limit e-waste.
