Well, Gazelle’s founders saw these issues way back in 2007 and launched Gazelle.com in 2008 — an e-platform that makes it quick and easy to trade in your old phone.What sets it apart? Instant quotes and free shipping, all handled by Gazelle. And you know your device goes on to live a second life; Gazelle has been refurbishing and selling certified pre-owned devices since 2014, helping to support a fully circular economy.
