XP: A Note on BRU Trade-Ins

Charlyne

I know this might not matter to some people, but it definitely rubs me the wrong way and since I wasn't aware of how BRU handles it's trade-ins I figured others didn't either. I was curious about what happens to the trade-ins. I know plenty are out of date, possibly broken, etc, but I also know plenty of people bring in items that are relatively new (possibly even less than a year old) and in great condition.

BRU throws ALL of these items away. New, old, broken, perfect condition... all of it. I was considering taking an item in until I knew this. The item I have is new and can't be returned so I was going to trade it in. I cannot, in good conscious, do this (if I end up getting rid of it, I'll take it to a consignment shop). I thought maybe they donated the items to a charity or shelter, but no...

So, just thought I'd give you ladies a head's up. I know to some it won't matter and some may already be aware that they throw these items away, but I thought I'd share nonetheless.
