How GoRoostr Turns Your Surplus Tech into Cash for Businesses and Schools

I’m Jon, co-founder and president of GoRoostr, and when we started this company in 2012, I saw how tough it was for people to sell or responsibly get rid of their old Apple devices. In those early days, we helped all sorts of customers, but a few years in, it became clear that businesses and schools were really stuck. There weren’t any good, easy options for organizations to offload surplus or outdated tech in bulk, whether it was a pile of MacBooks, Windows laptops, or Android tablets.That’s why we built GoRoostr to be the go-to solution for companies and schools looking to turn their unused devices into cash, and we’re flexible enough to make it work for you. If you’ve got questions, just reach out at GoRoostr.com—we’re here to help.

Great Payouts, Fast Turnaround

I’ve spent enough time talking to IT managers and school administrators to know they want a fair deal without the runaround. At GoRoostr, we offer some of the highest payouts for bulk tech buybacks, covering Apple devices like iPhones and MacBooks, plus PCs, Android devices, and other tech gear. We keep tabs on market trends to ensure you get top dollar, and we process most bulk orders in two business days. That means your organization can quickly turn old devices into funds for new initiatives. Curious how it works? Visit our bulk orders page or contact us with any questions.

A Process That Fits Your Needs

No two organizations are the same. Some businesses have every device cataloged; some schools have a mix of iPads, Chromebooks, and old Dell laptops in storage, with no idea where to start. We’re all about flexibility and making this easy for you. Here are three ways to sell your tech:

  • Instant Quote Calculator for Apple devices: Need a quote fast for Apple MacBooks, iPhones, iPads, etc.? Use our tool at GoRoostr.com/bulk to select your Apple devices and get a price in minutes and create a sell order. Perfect for tight schedules.
  • Spreadsheet Submission: Got a big inventory or a mix of devices? Send us a list or grab our template. Unsure about models? Share serial numbers, and we’ll figure it out. We’ve helped schools sort through mixed batches of iPads and Android tablets without a hitch.
  • Just Send It To Us And We'll Do The Rest: Box up your devices with our free FedEx insured shipping labels, or if you’re within our pickup radius, we’ll come to you—ideal for businesses and schools with large hauls, no time, or unsure of what they have. Then we'll process and price everything out for you. It doesn't get any easier than this for your organization!

Not sure which option’s best? Reach out as here, and we’ll tailor a solution that fits your organization. We want to work with you and make this as smooth as possible.

Data Security You Can Rely On

Early on, a school superintendent told me how nervous they were about sensitive data on old devices. That stuck with me. We wipe every device—Apple, PC, Android, or otherwise—to NIST 800-88 standards, ensuring your data is gone for good. We can provide erasure and diagnostic reports for compliance, which businesses need for audits and schools love for peace of mind. As an R2v3 certified company, we also recycle or dispose of end-of-life tech responsibly. Have questions about our process? Contact us.

We Buy a Wide Range of Tech

We’ve seen it all—schools with iPads and Chromebooks, businesses with MacBook Pros, Windows desktops, and Android phones, even the odd Apple Watch or server. Our bulk buyback program accepts:

  • Apple devices: MacBook, MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Mac Mini, iMac, iMac Pro, Mac Studio, Mac Pro, Studio Display, Pro Display XDR
  • PCs: Laptops, desktops, servers from brands like Dell, HP, Lenovo
  • Android devices: Phones and tablets from Samsung, Google, and more
  • Other tech: Contact us to see if we can take it

If your devices aren’t in our quote calculator, don’t sweat it—just reach out at GoRoostr.com for a custom quote. We’ve handled everything from 10 iPhones to entire district-wide tech refreshes.

Payments That Work for You

I know schools and businesses have different financial setups, so we keep payouts flexible:

  • Company check (sent via free FedEx Express shipping)
  • PayPal or Venmo (for transactions under $10,000)
  • ACH or wire transfer for bigger transactions

Need a specific payment method? Let us know at on our contact us page, and we’ll make it happen. We’re here to make this easy for you.
