SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., June 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- YouChange Holdings
Corp ("youchange™") (OTCBB:YCNG), a leading Community for
electronics collection, e-waste tracking, and re-Commerce, today
announced the relocation of its headquarters to Tempe, Arizona and the opening of its first
retail store-front to facilitate its growing operations.
Youchange sells used consumer and business electronics which it
collects through fundraising programs with schools, churches,
non-profits and sports groups. These items range from audio and
video equipment to cell phones, laptops, desktops, video games,
DVD's and LCD monitors.
"This is a great opportunity for those locally to reap the
benefits of high quality used electronic items, particularly during
a time when the economy is challenged. Buying a used LCD monitor at
25% of the cost of a new one is just smart. In addition, when
purchasing products from youchange, the customers are improving the
environment by extending the life of these electronics while
supporting local schools, charities and churches in the process as
a portion of the Company's profits are redistributed to these
organizations," said Derrick Mains,
Executive Vice President of youchange.
Youchange is able to manage their collection events and sell
used products through the utilization of its innovative proprietary
software. This software facilitates youchange's ability to analyze
individual items to determine the best methodology of extending
each product's life by recycling, refurbishing or immediately
reselling the items. This software systematically manages
items based upon its algorithm. With its new retail location,
youchange is now capable of handling larger items, as well as offer
its products locally versus online outlets only.
"So many times you need an item or a peripheral and your only
option is a retail store selling brand new items. Now, with our
Tempe store, you can pickup that
cable, used laptop, a DVD, or even replace or upgrade a cellular or
smart phone. In addition, we provide volume discounts to
organizations who need large quantities of electronics," said
Dan Fogel, VP of Operations for
youchange.
The new store is located at 2209 W 1st Street, Suite A113 in
Tempe, Arizona. Hours of
operation are Monday through Friday from 9am-4:30pm. Email inquiries can be sent to
sales@youchange.com or customers can call (480) 947-3588 to inquire
about items and availability.
"It starts with you…and ends in
change."
