The Easy Way to Sell Old Gadgets

by Jon Chase on October 28, 2009 at 06:24 AM


If you aren't willing to donate old electronics to a non-profit organization, and don't feel like going through the hassle of haggling with buyers on eBay, try one of these services:
  • Gazelle.com (formerly Second Rotation) lets you input the condition of and details about your electronics. Then, based on current auction market prices, it makes you an offer. If you accept, administrators will send you a box, confirm receipt of the package, and then finalize the offer; if you decline, they'll send your stuff back for free.
  • Best Buy's trade-in program is two-fold. You can exchange products purchased at Best Buy for cash or credit. (After you've input details online, the site will give you an offer, which you can print out and bring to a local store.) Alternatively, if you purchased your gadget at another store, you can get an estimate, print out the label, toss the package in the mail, and receive your gift card or check within two weeks.
