Do you have old cell phones laying around? What about old tablets? I know I had some! My items are only a few years old. They included 2 tablets, and an Iphone 8. I didn’t want to just recycle them. After all they are still in good working condition. I wanted to try and get some extra cash for my Disney fund. That got me researching places that would buy used electronics. Gazelle was who I went with!
In full disclosure there is a ton of options. I am not going to mention them all. Just know I looked into each option known to man. Including just selling it to Target or Best Buy. Like a good SavEar I took notes, compared offers, and deducted in the cost of shipping the item to the company from my bottom line price.
After looking into all the options. I went with Gazelle it was the highest offer I was given. It also has great reviews online. Plus they cover the shipping charge. I discovered my tablets that where just a few years old weren’t even worth $5.00. That was a shock to my system! I decided just to keep them for backup tablets. I was quoted $269.00 for the Iphone 8! You just print a prepaid shipping label, package up your item or items, attach the shipping label, and drop it off at your nearest post office! It was easy and painless. They even included tips on how to package it for safe shipping.
After I shipped it in I figured it would take at least 2 weeks to get paid. WRONG! I shipped it in on a Monday. By that Friday the money was deposited into my Paypal account. You can also choose to be mailed a check with your payment if you would like it just takes longer. They paid me the $269.00 just like I was quoted. They do say in the fine print that the offer may change once they get the item in and inspect it. I was prepared for them to pay less. Which didn’t happen!
