Toshiba Trade-in
Accepts desktops (Apple and PC), laptops, camcorders, digital cameras, servers, multimedia projectors, receivers, cell phones, car audio, monitors, gaming consoles, PDAs, iPods, GPS devices and HD DVD players from most manufacturers (not only Toshiba). Free shipping, payment by check only. Part of the EZTradein.com family, although Toshiba offered me more cash for my laptop ($210) and $29 for the Krazr.
Radio Shack
Will make offers on your MP3 players, phones, cameras, camcorders, GPS, car audio, laptops, games and consoles, HDTVs, and monitors. Free shipping. A major drawback is payment which is with Radio Shack gift cards only. Offered $19.60 for the Krazr and was not accepting my Dell Inspiron at this time.
Sam’s Club
Accepts desktops, laptops, LCD monitors, MP3 players, digital cameras, camcorders, and gaming consoles. Only available to Sam’s Club members. Payment is via Sam’s Club gift cards only. Free shipping. Offered $180 for my Dell Inspiron.
Gazelle offered the most for my laptop ($226) and several sites were willing to shell out $29 for my phone. The prices offered are reflective of inventory. If you wait around, you might get lower offers for your stuff.
Other sites worth mentioning:
Digitaldogpound.com - games, DVD and Blu-ray movies
Nextworth.com - iPods
Best Buy Tradein - another extension of EZTradein.com, payment via store gift card
