MyBoneYard®.com electronic recycling
There are tons of services like this, but MyBoneYard.com appears to be very professional and actually does pay a decent amount of money for your items. Everyone has tons of electronic junk lying around after upgrading to new computers and phones, and they are willing to pay you money to recycle them!
Of course, you probably won’t get as much as just selling it yourself on eBay or Craigslist, but who has the time for that? I’m strongly considering recycling my old Motorola SLVR L7 through them, as I actually wouldn’t get all that much more on eBay after fees. In exchange, they send a prepaid Visa card loaded with money. That’s not too shabby!
Update (3/1/08): I did end up sending my Motorola SLVR L7 to them. In exchange, they’re sending me a $35 Visa gift card. To avoid the hassle of selling a somewhat scratched phone that I modded a bit on eBay, it seemed worth it to me. The gift card should arrive sometime this week. I can’t wait!
