About TekBye

We’re a family-run buyback company in Vancouver, Washington. Since 2018 we’ve had one job: pay you a fair price for your old tech, quickly, with zero games.

Our story

Good tech deserves a second life

TekBye started in 2018 in Vancouver, Washington, when Andru Carai noticed something odd: the devices most people called worthless weren’t worthless at all. Financed phones, locked phones, cracked screens — the big buyback sites turned them away, so Andru bought them, fixed them, and found them new owners. One workbench turned into a warehouse.

Eight years later we’re still here on the banks of the Columbia River, and we still buy the devices others reject. Fully paid off or still financed. Pristine or shattered. Even blacklisted and activation-locked. If it’s yours to sell, we’ll make you a real offer on it.

We’ve stayed family-run on purpose. It keeps us obsessed with the two things that actually matter in this business: grading your device honestly and paying you fast. Your price is locked for 14 days, inspection happens within 2 business days of delivery, and payment goes out the same day your device passes — with $0 in fees, every method.

Here’s what we believe: selling your old tech should feel as good as buying new tech. No haggling, no fine-print surprises, no waiting weeks for a check. Just a fair number, a free label, and money in your account. That’s the whole business.

What we stand for

Three things we won’t budge on

Every quote, every inspection, every payout runs on these.

Honesty is the product

Grading you can trust. If your device’s condition differs from what you told us, the revised offer arrives with photos and a plain explanation — and you always have the choice to decline and get it back free.

People over transactions

Call (360) 281-6222 Mon–Fri, 9am–5pm PT and a human answers — often someone with our last name. Questions get real answers, not ticket numbers.

Nothing goes to waste

Every device is wiped with certified erasure software, refurbished, and rehomed with someone who’ll use it. What can’t be saved is responsibly recycled — never landfilled.
