The quick answer
Decluttr's official website says it is closed. Gazelle and GadgetRenu have selling routes, but compare current quotes for the same phone and read the deadlines carefully: GadgetRenu's price protection depends on timely shipment, while Gazelle's standard terms specify a receipt deadline. Neither is a universal price winner.
Key points
- Decluttr is not a new-sale option according to its closure notice checked October 12, 2026.
- Compare the same model and condition, then check shipping, payment and revised-offer terms.
- Gazelle retail prices and customer buying reviews are different from seller offers and experiences.
Decluttr is closed; Gazelle still has a selling route
Availability checked October 12, 2026. Decluttr's official homepage says its website has closed and that customer service remains available for active orders. Treat it as an existing-order support matter, not a place to start a new trade-in. Keep your original order emails and tracking details if you have an unresolved order.
Gazelle's trade-in page still provides a selling route. Its refurbished-device store is a separate comparison: a retail asking price is not the amount Gazelle offers to buy your phone.

Compare the deadlines as well as the amount
| Detail | GadgetRenu | Gazelle |
|---|---|---|
| Device quote | Match the model, options and condition in the selling form | Match the model, options and condition in the trade-in form |
| Shipping/receipt window | Approved carrier must accept the device within 14 calendar days after quote acceptance for market-price protection | Standard terms require receipt within 30 days of accepting the offer and completing checkout |
| Payment | Available order methods; payment sent within three business days after delivery for a matching eligible device, subject to stated exceptions | Homepage advertises PayPal or check; review timing for the order |
| Inspection | Identity, condition and eligibility are checked | Device and condition are checked; terms allow recalculation in specified cases |
| Revised offer | Express acceptance required; declining normally leads to a free return under the terms | Terms allow accepting or rejecting; state a 15-day response period and deemed acceptance after no response |

Use the quote that fits your actual device
Get both offers on the same day using the same model, storage, carrier status and known faults. Save the amounts and condition answers. Each buyer's grading labels may differ, so compare the descriptions rather than simply selecting the highest grade.
GadgetRenu provides free insured shipping for eligible orders under our terms. We accept supported nonworking phones but exclude water damage, unsafe batteries, Activation/iCloud locks, blacklisting and unpaid financing. Ask about uncertain eligibility before shipping.
If a bonus is attached to your quote, include it only when you can meet its conditions. GadgetRenu's Fast-Ship Bonus is 5% of the agreed device purchase price, capped at $25 per eligible device, with carrier acceptance normally required within 24 hours. The terms explain Sunday/holiday extensions and revised offers; creating a label alone does not qualify.
Read reviews in context
Read recent reviews about selling a device, including experiences with revised offers, returns and payment. Reviews about buying refurbished phones answer a different question. Look at the account of the problem and the business's response, as well as successful transactions.
The stronger offer for you may come from either buyer. If neither supports your phone or meets your needs, compare another buyer, a private sale or keeping it. Use appropriate electronics recycling when reuse is no longer practical.
