I’ll be honest, we do not have very many gadgets in my house. My husband has a five-year old iPod and I have a newer iPod Nano, but both were given to us as gifts. However, I know that lots of other people stay fairly up-to-date with newer cell phones, MP3 players and laptops. While I’ve talked about gadget recycling programs before, I wanted to touch on them again this month as a way to turn clutter into cash.
The timing was perfect too because my husband just got a new Blackberry at work. He had a Palm Treo 755p before, so I took it online to see how much it was worth. I answered a few questions, such as whether it was fully functional and whether it had sustained any water damage, and out popped the valuation.
Cashing In
So, here’s what I could get for the phone in cash:
Alternatively, I could trade in the Treo for a gift card to use at Best Buy, Walmart or Costco. I can tell you that the programs at Walmart and Costco are powered by Gazelle, so you’ll get the same estimate, only you’ll receive your money as a Walmart Prepaid Visa Card or a Costco Cash Card.
When I checked out Best Buy’s Trade-In Estimator it said I would get $24 if I opted for a Best Buy gift card or $16 if I wanted a check mailed to me. Both EZtradein.com and Best Buy Trade-In are powered by Dealtree Services, so you’ll get the same value estimate, and if you want cash, EZtradein.com is the better way to go. You can get paid the same amount whether by check, PayPal or Best Buy gift card.
With each of these programs, you’ll receive a prepaid shipping envelope in order to ship your gadgets for free to the customer service center. Each also says that you’ll receive the trade-in value within one to two weeks (once they have a chance to inspect your electronics first-hand).
What Happens to My Gadgets
Once each recycling program receives your gadgets, they remove all personal data and resell them through various retail and wholesale outlets. For those electronics with no market value (e.g., my seven year old laptop at the top of my closet), these agents recycle them responsibly.
Many, including myself, have concerns about third-parties being able to access private information on laptops. While Gazelle, NextWorth and others clear the data, it’s still a good idea to wipe the hard drive clean before sending your laptop off to them. You can check out some quick facts here on Computer Disposal. There’s a great video courtesy of PC World called How to Completely Erase a Hard Drive that you may also find useful.
I think the same privacy issues also apply to cell phones. I found information on a Free Data Eraser and found more details on how to erase mobile phone data here.
Coming Up on Monday: Video Game Trade-Ins. In September, Toys R Us opened their Video Game Trade-In Center, and more recently, Amazon started to handle video games trade-ins. I’m going to check out where you can get the best deals when seeking to turn used games into cash.
Have you had a chance to recycle any of your old electronics? I’d love to hear about your experiences.
