Good evening all!
I just spent the last hour looking through my box o' tronics and I found three old, nonworking cell phones. Talk about collecting! I haven't used my old Blackberry Pearl for at least 3 years now.
What inspired me to look through these old gadgets was a tiny tidbit in this last Sunday's Chicago Tribune Sunday section, Get cash for you old gadgets.
I checked out three of the recommended sites that offer cash for your old electronics, and fared pretty well considering two of the three cell phones I have are not in working condition. In total, I will get back $32 for all three phones once I send them in, and shipping is free. I got the best price from Green ebay, where I will send two of the phones, and am selling one phone to Buytronics.
I know $32 isn't a whole lot of money, but it's free money to me since these things have just been sitting around in a shoe box for months to years, traveling with me from place to place, when I have no need for them. And it's not all that easy to find an electronics recyclers in the area. Plus, I don't have to drive anywhere! I just have to print out a shipping label and send these old phones on their merry way to a new life.
So if you are like me and are trying to simplify your life in 2011, I suggest you do a little closet purge yourself and check out that article for some tips to get you started.
what i enjoy, i share with you. a compilation of my likes, my works, my inspiration, and my life.
