Business Wire
DGSE Companies, Inc. (NYSE American: DGSE) (“DGSE” or the
“Company”), a leading wholesaler and retailer of jewelry, diamonds,
fine watches and precious metal bullion and rare coin products, is
expanding its consumer services in the second quarter with a new
Electronics Exchange division.
The Electronics Exchange will enable customers to buy, sell and
trade cellular telephones, and subsequently other consumer
electronics, at fair market value, with the assurance that any
non-reusable items will be properly recycled.
“This program will serve as a marketplace for buyers and sellers
looking to get the best deal on their consumer electronics,” said
John Loftus, President, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “It’s
the first phase of our goal to be a one-stop shop for repairing,
selling and recycling consumer electronics.”
The Electronics Exchange will operate initially online, and
later migrate into Dallas Gold & Silver Exchange stores in
North Texas and South Carolina, as well as independent retail
locations.
The Electronics Exchange will publish current buy and sell
values for pre-owned cellular telephone models. Shipping will be
free, payments will be expedited, and all personal data will be
wiped from each received item.
Any items that cannot be resold will be recycled in partnership
with Echo Environmental, LLC, an R2-certified data security and
recycling company in Carrollton, Texas.
In the next phase of the initiative, DGSE will add repair
services for small electronics, ranging from smartphones and game
consoles to tablets and computers.
Loftus said that the company’s decades of success in the very
competitive precious metals business, as well as its repair centers
for jewelry and fine watches, have prepared it well for the new
venture. The cross-marketing potential should grow the company’s
customer base and expose a new market segment to its stores, he
said.
“We see a real competitive advantage here,” Loftus said. “Our
goal is to be the simplest, fastest, most trusted place to sell or
recycle electronics. I’m confident that we have the business and
technical expertise to accomplish that.”
