TigerDirect and CompUSA Q&A: PC Buy-Back Program
Starting tomorrow, TigerDirect and CompUSA (both owned by Systemax Inc.) expect to start offering a guaranteed price trade-in program for PC and television buyers. A customer can purchase a buy-back plan from financial services company TechForward, Inc. The buyer will be able to send the original unit in for a guaranteed percentage of the original price. The idea sounded like something different on the computer retailing front, so we spoke with Bruce Matthews, vice president of business development for both companies.
