Reno Hi-Fi offers very generous allowances for trade-in products
as well as an exceptional trade-up program. Reno Hi-Fi has done
everything we can think of to make trading-in and trading-up as
easy, predictable, flexible and valuable for the customer. We’ll
always do our best to give you the highest trade-in allowance
possible when you want to upgrade to newer or bigger gear.
Pass Labs
products of any age are always most welcomed and have the very
highest trade-in values, whatever the age or condition. Most
other brands are also welcomed as trade-in’s, and we use the
Audiogon bluebook, current internet classifieds, as well as
other industry information to set the value on a trade-in item.
We always try to give the highest possible value, and trading-in
the old product makes improving your system easier and more
affordable than selling the old item yourself.
Brands other
than Pass Labs usually need to be less than 10 years old, and
such items cannot be worth more than 65% of the sale price of
the new item toward which you’re trading. (For example, if
you’re interested in a new item with a sale price of $10,000,
the trade-in’s value cannot be more than $6500.) Pass Labs
products are the exception to this 65% rule. (An example is you
have a newer more valuable PASS item and want to trade to a
smaller or older item. In this case we might do a no-cash or
little-cash transaction.) Phone or email us, and within a few
minutes we can tell you what your gear would be worth in trade
for the newer item.
Reno Hi-Fi
adds even more value to the trade-in and in home demo process.
For established clients, or clients who use a credit card, in
most cases, we’ll let you keep the trade-in item until after
you’ve had 10 days to listen and enjoy your new gear — and you
can A/B the new gear with the trade-in item so you’ll
absolutely know the performance of the new versus the old
product. And it gets better yet -- we’ll usually give you
“advance credit” for your trade-in item, so the only up-front
charge would be the change in investment to upgrade. Let’s say
you have a trade-in item worth $4000 toward a $10,000 item, the
only charge on your credit card would be $6000, which makes the
transaction much easier for you.
Four-Month Trade-Up Offer
- A
common concern when investing in audio gear is, “What if later
decide I want the bigger model?” Reno Hi-Fi guarantees that
we’ll give you 100% of your purchase price of the first item,
when you trade-it in, toward our best offer on the upgrade item
for a period of four-months (120 days). So if in January you
invest in XA-60.5’s, and in three months realize that you want
and can now afford XA-100.5’s, we’ll give you what you paid for
the XA-60.5’s as trade-in value toward our best offer on
XA-100.5’s, as an example. After four-months we always give the
highest trade-in value possible because we want your repeat
business; we just don’t guarantee 100% value after four-months.
Please give
us a call or an email and we’ll do everything we can to work
with you and present an exciting offer to improve your system.
