Earn Cash For Old Electronics

Did Santa give you a new cell phone this year, or maybe a new MP3 player? If you have an old cell phone, lap top, digital camera, MP3 player, Video Game, GPS device Camcorder, LCD Monitor, etc., have I got the place and deal for you.

It's called Gazelle and they will pay you for your old electronics.

Here's what you do, you go to their site and register first. No, you won't get a ton of e-mail from them, but you will want to register to sell your product to them and to get paid.

After you register, up in the top where it says "Find Your Item", you type in what you are wanting to sell. A list of pictures will come up to help you correctly identify what you are selling to them. You click on the picture and there will be a series of questions for you to answer. For example, say I'm trying to sell my phone.....you get questions like: does it make a call successfully?; is it free of water damage?, etc. You'll be asked to rate the phone and click on any additional products you have that go with the phone (ear phones, charger, etc.). Once you have filled in all of the information, you click on calculate and they will tell you what they will pay you for the phone. A lot of the items qualify for free shipping. In that case, Gazelle will send you a prepaid box to ship it in. Once they have received your item and confirmed it is what you said it was and in the condition you said, you will either be paid by check or by PayPal.

WoooHooo. Another great way to earn money and recycle your old electronics. One thing to remember, if your item is getting a modest sell price and it doesn't qualify for free shipping, you will want to decide whether it is worth the payment you would receive after you pay the shipping. Certain items are much bigger ticket items than others. You won't get rich selling your electronics here, but you can make some extra cash and keep your electronic out of a land fill. Don't expect huge amounts on everything you have. And, some items will have no cash value at all, but they will take it and recycle it for you if you wish.

Another great thing is that all person data is wiped clean of all equipment upon receipt.

Another great way to make some extra cash for items you don't use anymore.

$1 Any Coke Product Coupon - Mail - Recycle Bank

Here's an easy way to earn 10 $1 off any one coke product coupons and possibly help out the environment if the program is available in your area. It's called Recycle Bank.

I am a huge fan of recycling and we recycle everything we possibly can. I would say that on a normal week, we put out about 1/2 bag of trash. We have one of those huge Trash containers provided by the city and honestly, we could probably go two months before we had to put it out, however, that wouldn't do well with the smell I'm sure so we drag it out there every week. The trash men have gotten to the point of just lifting the lid to see what we have inside in lieu of rolling the huge container to the truck and dumping it.

Recycle Bank is a program currently only operating in a select handful of cities and states. It's still catching on but it's a great program. The jist of the program is that you sign up and have a trash receptacle/container delivered that measures the pounds of recycling you have. You earn points based on the pounds. Each pound earns 2.5 points and you can earn up to 450 points per month. The points can then be used for various items such as apparel, gift cards, household items, grocery items, etc. They have an electronic recycling program where you fill out the information on what type of cell phone, laptop or MP3 player you have to recycle. They send you a printable label to attach to your package and you send in your electronic to one of their facilities. The facility then checks out the equipment and awards you points.

They also have a credit card (Visa) called the Gconomy Visa Card. You earn points every time you use the card at a participating partner. You can find a list of partners in your area by simply going to that section and typing in your zip code. I was shocked at how many retailers/facilities are participating in my area.

Unfortunately, my city/state are not involved in the curbside program, however that doesn't prevent me from registering which I did. Just for registering I received 100 points. Coca Cola is a participating partner and is offering a $1 on any coke product coupon for 10 points. So after I registered, I clicked on the "Get Rewards" tab and signed in. Then I scrolled down and clicked on the Coca Cola tab and added it to my shopping cart. Then I clicked on the shopping cart and changed the total to 10 (100 points) and checked out. I will receive 10 $1/1 Coca Cola coupons by mail. Remember the Cocaholic hubbie. These will come in very handy for his Coca Cola products and if you use them at Walgreens or CVS when they have Register Rewards or Extra Care Bucks going, it will be great savings for you.

It's also a great way to get involved in recycling and turn those points into items you can use. Remember, the goal is to find ways to get the products you normally use without coming out of your pocket for the payment. Add it to your list, start recycling and earning points today.

Oh...one last thing....if they don't have the curbside program in your area, you can request they e-mail you when it is available and you can contact your city and encourage them to join. Recycle bank is a great way to recycle, earn points and save money.
