acquired on December 20, 2016 from Scott Tepfer, President of We Sell Cellular LLC (which is a subsidiary of the Issuer) and a Director and Executive Vice President of the Issuer. The Scott Tepfer Options grant Piton the right to acquire up
to 500,000 Shares from Scott Tepfer for $1.00 per share. The Scott Tepfer Options expire on December 20, 2021 and may be exercised by Piton immediately in one or more transactions. Also includes 6,000,000 Shares issuable upon the
conversion of the Note by Piton. The Note bears interest at the rate of 5% per annum. At the election of Piton, all principal and accrued interest under the Note may be converted into the Issuer's common stock using an initial conversion
price of $0.30 per share. The terms of the Note are described in greater detail in the Form 8-K filed by the Issuer on November 21, 2018 (File No. 000-50494).

SCHEDULE 13D/A
CUSIP No. 917296204 | | Page 6 of 22 Pages |
Preliminary
Note. Pursuant to Rule 13d-2 promulgated under the Act, this amendment to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 4”) amends the Schedule 13D filed on December 30, 2016 (the “Original Schedule 13D”), as
amended on June 2, 2017 (“Amendment No. 1”), November 22, 2017 (“Amendment No. 2”) and October 26, 2018 (“Amendment No. 3”). The Original Schedule 13D, Amendment No.1, Amendment No. 2, Amendment No. 3 and this Amendment No. 4 are collectively
referred to herein as the “Schedule 13D”. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 4 shall have the meanings given to them in the Original Schedule 13D (as amended by Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2 and Amendment No. 3).
The Original Schedule 13D (as amended by Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2 and Amendment No. 3) remains in full force and effect, except as specifically amended by this Amendment No. 4. This Amendment No. 4 is being filed to report (i) Piton’s
acquisition of the Note (defined in Item 3) and certain matters related thereto and (ii) the succession of Cornice Fiduciary Management LLC (the “Trustee Company”) as trustee under Trust Agreement dated December 23, 1989 FBO the issue of Jonathan
D. Sackler (the “Trust”).
Item 2. Identity
and Background.
Item 2(a) of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by replacing references to
“Leslie J. Schreyer” with “Cornice Fiduciary Management LLC”.
Item 2(c)(i) of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated to read as
follows:
The principal business of the Trust is to make various investments from time
to time for the benefit of the issue of Jonathan D. Sackler. The Trustee Company, a Wyoming limited liability company, is the trustee of the Trust. Leslie J. Schreyer and Jeffrey Robins, each of whom is a citizen of the United States and an
attorney at Norton Rose Fulbright (US) LLP, 1301 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10019, are officers of the Trustee Company. None of the Trustee Company, Mr. Schreyer or Mr. Robins has been involved in any proceeding requiring disclosure
under Items 2(d) or (e) of the Schedule 13D.
Item 2(f) of the Schedule 13D is amended to state that the Trust is a Wyoming
trust.
Item 3. Source
and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated
in its entirety to read as follows:
As of November 27, 2018, the Reporting Persons had collectively purchased an
aggregate of 12,957,837 Shares (which includes Shares that can be purchased pursuant to certain warrants and options and the Note, as described below) over the course of various transactions for consideration totaling approximately $8.2 million.
On November 20, 2018, Piton entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with the Company (the
“Securities Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which Piton loaned the Company $1.8 million in consideration of the issuance of an unsecured convertible promissory note by the Company to Piton (the “Note”). The Note bears interest at the rate of 5%
per annum. At the election of Piton, all principal and accrued interest under the Note may be converted into the
SCHEDULE 13D/A
CUSIP No. 917296204 | | Page 7 of 22 Pages |
Company’s common stock using an initial conversion price of $0.30 per share. The terms of the Note are
described in greater detail in the Form 8-K filed by the Company on November 21, 2018 (File No. 000-50494). In connection with purchasing the Note, Piton executed a Stock Purchase Agreement with Brian Tepfer on November 20, 2018 (the “2018 Brian
Tepfer SPA”). Pursuant to the 2018 Brian Tepfer SPA, Piton received the right to purchase up to a yet-to-be determined amount of common stock from Brian Tepfer for a purchase price of $0.20 per share (the “2018 Brian Tepfer Option”). The number of
shares that Piton can purchase from Brian Tepfer pursuant to the 2018 Brian Tepfer Option will be communicated to Piton by the Company on or around December 3, 2018.
Also on November 20, 2018, Leslie J. Schreyer resigned as trustee of the Trust
and the Trustee Company was appointed successor trustee of the Trust (the “Change in Trustee”). Because Mr. Schreyer has resigned as trustee of the Trust, he is no longer a reporting person for the Shares held by the Trust. No consideration was
paid in connection with the Change in Trustee and, accordingly, the Trust continues to beneficially own the Shares following the Change in Trustee.
On October 24, 2018, Piton and Brian Tepfer, Chief Executive Officer of We
Sell Cellular LLC (which is a subsidiary of the Company) and a former director and Executive Vice President of the Company, signed an amendment (the “Amendment”) to their 2016 Purchase Agreement (defined in Item 6) to reduce the exercise price of
the options granted by Brian Tepfer to Piton (the “2016 Brian Tepfer Options”) under their 2016 Purchase Agreement from $1.00 per share to $0.20 per share from October 24, 2018 until 11:59 PM on December 16, 2018. On October 24, 2018, Piton
exercised the 2016 Brian Tepfer Options in full by delivering written notice to Brian Tepfer pursuant to their 2016 Purchase Agreement and therefore acquired 500,000 Shares from Brian Tepfer for $100,000 on October 31, 2018 (such transaction, the
“2018 Option Exercise”). A copy of the Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit K and incorporated herein by reference.
The Trust has the right to acquire 275,000 Shares under previously issued
warrants that are immediately exercisable, and M3C has the right to acquire 150,000 Shares under previously issued warrants that are immediately exercisable (the “Warrants”). The issuance of the Warrants was reported in a Form 8-K filed by the
Company on August 15, 2014 (File No. 000-50494), with the form of the Warrants attached thereto as Exhibit 4.1. Additionally, Piton has the right to acquire 500,000 Shares under options it acquired on December 20, 2016 from Scott Tepfer,
President of We Sell Cellular LLC (which is a subsidiary of the Company) and a Director and Executive Vice President of the Company, pursuant to their 2016 Purchase Agreement (the “Scott Tepfer Options”). The Scott Tepfer Options grant Piton the
right to acquire up to 500,000 Shares from Scott Tepfer for $1.00 per share. The Scott Tepfer Options expire on December 20, 2021 and may be exercised by Piton immediately in one or more transactions.
Certain Shares reported herein as beneficially owned by the Trust, M3C and Piton may be held
from time to time in margin accounts established with such Reporting Persons’ prime broker(s). Therefore, a portion of the purchase price for the Shares may have been obtained through margin borrowing. The Shares are held by the applicable
Reporting Person in one or more commingled margin account(s), which may extend margin credit to the Reporting Person from time to time subject to applicable federal margin regulations, stock exchange rules and the
SCHEDULE 13D/A
CUSIP No. 917296204 | | Page 8 of 22 Pages |
prime brokers’ credit policies. Certain positions held in the margin account are then pledged as
collateral for the repayment of debit balances in the account. Each Reporting Person used cash on hand to fund the portion of the purchase price for the Shares that were not obtained through margin borrowing.
Item 4. Purpose
of Transaction
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and
supplemented by adding the following paragraphs at the end of Item 4:
Piton’s acquisition of the Note and the other matters contemplated thereby
(including Piton’s acquisition of the 2018 Brian Tepfer Option pursuant to the 2018 Brian Tepfer SPA) as described in this Amendment No. 4 are hereby incorporated by reference to the extent that they constitute plans or proposals of any of the
Reporting Persons with respect to the acquisition of additional securities of the Issuer, a material change of the capitalization or as otherwise required to be described in Item 4.
The Change in Trustee occurred on November 20, 2018, as described in Item 3 of this Amendment No. 4.

4 Mr. Averick's principal occupation is acting as a Portfolio Manager at Kokino, which is a single-family office that provides investment management services only to its Family Clients, including the Trust, M3C and Piton.
As a Portfolio Manager at Kokino, Mr. Averick shares the power to vote and dispose (or direct the disposition of) 12,957,837 Shares, which is the sum of 200,000 Shares Mr. Averick purchased in the November 2017 Transaction and the following
Shares beneficially owned by Mr. Averick and other Reporting Persons: (i) 825,000 Shares beneficially owned by the Trust; (ii) 450,000 Shares beneficially owned by M3C; (iii) 11,358,837 Shares beneficially owned by Piton; and (iv) 124,000
Shares beneficially owned by Mr. Averick with his wife. With respect to the 124,000 Shares beneficially owned by Mr. Averick with his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Averick are deemed to share the power to vote and dispose or direct the disposition of such
Shares. Mr. Averick holds an economic interest in Piton (which interest may be held directly and, from time to time, indirectly through PCM). Also, Mr. Averick's incentive compensation as an employee of Kokino, which is calculated in Kokino's
discretion, may be based, among other things, on the performance of Shares held by the Trust, M3C and Piton. Such compensation may be paid in cash and/or by way of increasing Mr. Averick's minority interest in Piton (either directly or
indirectly through PCM). The Shares and percent of class beneficially owned by Mr. Averick include (i) 275,000 Shares issuable under the Warrants, which are immediately exercisable by the Trust; (ii) 150,000 Shares issuable under Warrants,
which are immediately exercisable by M3C; and (iii) 6,000,000 Shares issuable upon the conversion of the Note (defined in Item 3) by Piton.
5 Piton is a pooled investment vehicle formed for the benefit of a single family and certain
“key employees” (as defined in the Family Office Rule) of Kokino. The Trust, M3C and Mr. Averick are members of Piton, along with other Family Clients of Kokino. Piton is managed by its managing member, PCM. PCM is in turn managed by its
managing member, Kokino. Additionally, Kokino is the trading manager of Piton and provides investment management services to the Trust and M3C, and in those capacities Kokino acts on behalf of such Reporting Persons as an agent. Robert Averick,
in his capacity as an employee of Kokino, manages the Trust’s, M3C’s and Piton’s respective investments in Shares. PCM and Kokino are each a “family office” (as defined in the Family Office Rule) of the same family, and any voting power or
investment power PCM or Kokino may hold over the Shares is ultimately attributed to the Reporting Persons reporting on this Schedule 13D. The Shares and percent of class beneficially owned by Piton includes (i) 500,000 Shares beneficially owned
by Piton under the Scott Tepfer Options that have not been exercised and (ii) 6,000,000 Shares issuable upon the conversion of the Note by Piton, which is immediately convertible by Piton.

impact the number of Shares or the percentage of Shares owned by the Trust (or any other Reporting Person). |
| (d) | Except as described in this Schedule 13D (including Item 2(a) and the footnotes to Items 5(a) and 5(b)), to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons,
only the Reporting Persons have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, the Shares reported by the Schedule 13D. |
Item 6. | Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships
with Respect to Securities of the Issuer. |
Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following
paragraphs to the end of Item 6:

EXHIBIT N
STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT
THIS STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is entered into as of November 20, 2018, by and
between Brian Tepfer (the “Seller”) and the purchasers executing the signature page herein (collectively, the “Purchasers”). The Purchasers
and the Seller may sometimes be referred to herein collectively as the “Parties.”
WHEREAS, the Seller, the Executive Vice President of usell.com, Inc. (the “Company”), owns
approximately 3,500,000 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock;
WHEREAS, the Seller has agreed to sell up to 3,000,000 of the shares of common stock of the
Company (the “Shares”) to investors in the Company’s current $5.5 million Convertible Note private offering (the “Offering”) based upon the pro-rata amount each Purchaser invests in the offering;
WHEREAS, the Purchasers desire to purchase up to their pro-rata amount of the Shares and the
Seller desires to sell the Shares upon the terms and conditions set forth herein; and
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, and for good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Sale and Purchase of Shares. The Seller agrees to sell and the Purchasers have the option to purchase the Shares based upon the amount they invested in the Offering for the consideration contained in
this Agreement and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, if $4.0 million is raised in this Offering, a Purchaser who purchased a $200,000 Convertible Note from the Company in the Offering (5% of the
total Convertible Notes purchased) would have the right to purchase up to 150,000 Shares for $30,000 under this Agreement. For avoidance of doubt, no Purchaser shall be obligated to purchase its full pro-rata amount or any of the Shares.
2. Purchase
Price. The price per Share shall be $0.20 (the “Purchase Price”). If executed and delivered this Agreement to the Escrow Agent (defined below) by the Initial Closing (as defined in the
Securities Purchase Agreement executed by the Purchaser in connection with the Offering) date, the Company shall notify such Purchaser on December 3, 2018 (or three days following the Initial Closing if later) regarding the total amount that
was invested in the Offering as of that date and the amount of Shares that the Purchaser has the option to purchase. Such Purchaser will then notify the Company, Seller and Escrow Agent within two (2) business days thereafter of the amount of
such Shares that the Purchaser chooses to purchase (which may be all, some or none of the Shares allocated to Purchaser). The Purchase Price shall be delivered by the Purchasers to the trust account
of Nason, Yeager, Gerson, Harris & Fumero, P.A. (the “Escrow Agent”), by December 10, 2018 (or three days following the Initial Closing if later). If the Escrow Agent has received the executed Agreement and the Purchase Price, the Seller
shall cause the Company to issue a stock certificate in the name of the Purchaser for the purchased Shares. A copy of the wire transfer instructions is annexed as Exhibit A.
