Trade-In

Reno Hi-Fi, Inc. 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 and First Watt products which are about 15 to 17 years old and newer are always most welcomed and have the very highest trade-in values, whatever the condition.  Reno Hi Fi will consider older PASS and First Watt trade-in’s when the consumer wants to trade-up to our higher priced items.  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.

Trade-in 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.)  Phone or email us, and within a few minutes we can tell you what your gear would be worth in trade toward the newer item of your choice.

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 upfront 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.

Please give us a call or an email and we’ll do everything we can to work with you and then present an exciting offer to improve your system.
