Hero: value prop + live pricing sidebar above the fold on mobile
East Bay Test Strips buys unused, unexpired diabetic supplies directly from people in the East Bay: Dexcom sensors, Omnipod pods, FreeStyle Libre sensors, test strips, and insulin pump accessories. Same-day pickup, same-day payment via cash, Venmo, Zelle, or PayPal, seven days a week.
The premise is simple. Insurance ships quarterly. Prescriptions change. CGM systems get upgraded. Supplies stack up in drawers and eventually expire unused. People have no easy way to recoup any value, and throwing away a box of Dexcom G6 sensors that paid $145 on the way out feels wrong. This business exists to be the buyer.

The business existed before a dedicated website did. Early traction came through Craigslist and word of mouth, which worked but hit a ceiling fast. The problem was that people searching for exactly this service — "sell Dexcom sensors Oakland," "cash for test strips near me," "where to sell diabetic supplies East Bay" — were finding nothing. Every high-intent search was going to waste.
Building a site wasn't optional. It was the only real growth path. But the design constraints were specific: the primary conversion action is a text message, not a form. Someone lands on the page, they need to know what we pay, confirm the business is legitimate, and feel comfortable texting a stranger their address. In under ten seconds. On a phone.
Zero web presence meant zero discovery from search. Every lead required active sourcing — Craigslist posts, repeat postings, manual effort that didn't compound.
"Sell Dexcom Oakland," "cash for CGM sensors," "sell diabetic supplies near me" — these are people ready to transact right now. None of them were finding us.
Buying medical supplies from a stranger is a trust problem. Without a proper site — pricing, reviews, legality FAQ, a real phone number — there's no reason to text.
Every visitor arrives with the same four questions. Do you buy what I have? How much will you pay? Is this legitimate? How do I get paid? The site is designed to answer all four above the fold on mobile, then get out of the way.
The primary CTA is "Text for Quote" — repeated throughout, never buried. No forms. No quote calculators. A text with brand, quantity, and expiration date is all it takes, and the site makes that feel obvious rather than uncertain.
Published price tables for every major product — Dexcom G6, G7, Omnipod 5, DASH, FreeStyle Libre, test strips. Visitors see exact figures before they ever contact us. This removes the biggest source of drop-off: uncertainty about whether it's worth the effort.
5.0 Google rating displayed prominently. Real phone number, real email, real location. A clear FAQ on legality. These aren't afterthoughts — they're answers to the objections that kill the conversion before anyone texts.
Text your brand, quantity, and expiration date. Get an offer within minutes. Choose pickup or shipping, get paid same day. That's the whole process. The site explains it in under 50 words so no one is left wondering what happens next.
Over 70% of traffic arrives on a phone, most of it direct from a Google search. The design is built for that context: large tap targets, phone number click-to-call, pricing visible without horizontal scroll.
Product categories — payout ranges visible before anyone texts
Three steps: text, get offer, get paid — under 50 words
