I was recently reading Cosmopolitan magazine and after reading about another money-saving trick I just had to share this with you. Of course we’ve all heard about eBay and craiglists.com,

When visiting the site you will be asked to type in your “products specs” then answer a few questions about its condition and whether you have accessories like chargers, adapters or earpieces. Gazelle will then give you in instant quote. If you accept, the company will send you a pre-paid envelope or box, which you use to ship them your item. Gazelle will inspect it, and if everything checks out, send you payment via check or PayPal within several weeks. If Gazelle does not agree with your assessment of the product and a counter-offer cannot be reached, the company will return your item free of charge.
Can I Sell Anything?
Gazelle will purchase items in nine categories: cell phones, MP3 players, digital cameras, GPS devices, laptops, camcorders, gaming consoles, satellite radios, and portable hard drives. The site currently has a catalogue of more than 18,000 products. If someone makes an offer on a product not in the database, Gazelle will research it and provide an offer.
How Is This Different From Other Sites such as Ebay?
Ebay does not provide an instant quote, and as a consumer, you run the risk of paying to list an item that might not sell.
I know after reading about this I will be shipping my old iPod to them. It doesn’t work anymore, but I may be able to get a pretty little penny for it. Cosmopolitan magazine said it spoke to a subscriber that got $102 for an old Blackberry. I don’t know about you, but that screams at least two weeks worth of groceries…or even a new pair of nice fall boots!
