What Our Customers Are Saying

"The Community Buy Back program through Secured Tech Solutions was a huge success at Goshen Community Schools. The number of man hours we saved by not having to manage the grading, sale, packaging, and shipping of our inventory was priceless. Not only were Nate and his crew easy to work with, but they also made the process simple and straightforward for us and those purchasing the items. Their communication throughout the entire process was amazing and response to any of our questions or concerns was quick. We would highly recommend STS to any school looking to sell their old inventory and would consider using them in the future."

"I highly recommend Secured Tech Solutions' Community Buyback program as a solution for your retired devices. We worked with Secured Tech Solutions this past fall to sell our retired devices to our faculty and staff; the process was easy and the sale was successful. They took care of all of the logistics, providing materials and instructions for shipping the devices to their warehouse, they prepped them to sell, hosted the online sale and collected sales tax, warrantied the devices and handled the communications and customer service. We have used STS for other services in the past and Community Buyback is just another solution they offer that we will continue to use."
