Default gazelle.com

I have used gazelle.com several times to make a little money off old phones. I've made about $100 off of three bad iPhones. They send you a box, and you ship it off to them. They send you status updates all the time to let you know what's going on. It's a great program...

We've used the money to pay down our debt snowball. It all adds up.

Have you considered ebay?
People buy broken phones off ebay as well and fix them and you wouldn't believe the prices they pay!

Have used ebay as well... The nice thing about gazelle is that they sent me a box with a shipping label, and I just sent it back... Super super easy.

Ebay is great, also see the thread I started about selling books on amazon.

Yes! Don't sell your cell phones to those sites, they will pay you pennies compared to what you can make putting the cell phone on ebay. One popular site (I can't post links yet too new)will only pay you 125.00 max! That is the price I pay for other peoples cell phones before I cash in on ebay. If you are really interested in getting money for your phone then sell it yourself, you will be happy you did.

Actually, I found this to be a pretty good deal. Considering the fact the all of these phones had been water damaged, plus one had a broken screen I think I was paid a fair price.

The nice thing about dealing with them as apposed to craigslist or ebay is that it is a smooth transaction, and it's not dealing with a scammer. You never know what you're dealing with on a site like craigslist. It was quick and painless, and a fair deal.
