Turn Old Gadgets into Money!

A few years ago, a boyfriend gave me a new IPod Touch for Christmas. With my search hat on and armed with my laptop, I went off in search of a website to sell my old iPod Classic. After a few moments, I stumbled upon Gazelle.com, a reCommerce service helps you sell and recycle your used electronics. I answered a few questions regarding the condition and hit the magic calculate button. I was offered $150 for my old iPod Classic. SCORE!

After confirming the sell, I printed off my prepaid UPS slip and then restored the iPod to factory setting to erase my data. Next I packed my iPod Classic in a box and dropped the package of at the Post Office. A few days later, I received an email confirming the condition of the iPod and my money was on its way!

Interested in selling you used iPhone3 when the iPhone 5 comes out? You will get more money for your used iPhone3 if you answer the product condition questions and confirmed your order before the Apple press conference is over. The longer you wait, the less money you will be offered for your iPhone3. The offer from Gazelle is valid for 30 days from the day you confirm the buy back amount in case you change your mind on selling the item.

Occasionally Gazelle will run a bonus code worth between 5-10% of the buy back amount. You can also get paid in an Amazon Gift Card and get another 5-10% of the buy back amount. These two offers can typically be used together. Gazelle will also buy back DVDs, gaming systems, games, phones, e-readers, and mp3 players. If you gadget is too old or they no longer offer a buy back on that product, Gazelle will offer to recycle the product for free.

Why have old gadgets gather dust when make money by recycling them?
