摘要

The present disclosure describes various embodiments of methods and systems for developing pricing and performing other processes associated with recycling mobile phones, other consumer electronic devices, and/or other goods and services. In some embodiments, the methods and systems disclosed herein can be employed by a user-operated kiosk to determine a price to offer the user for a mobile phone or other electronic device that cannot be sufficiently identified by the kiosk. In some embodiments, the price can be an adjusted price, such as a weighted average price.
