Gazelle is another place to get rid of your old gadgets

Still trying to figure out what to do with your old phone if you opt to buy a new iPhone 3G S or a Palm Pre?

A few days back, I pointed to NextWorth as a place that might buy your old mobile or smart phone. You might also consider Gazelle, which reports it is doing a brisk business in iPhone trade-ins. When I checked this morning on my own behalf, I could still get about $100 for an 8GB original iPhone model, depending on the condition it was in. I might bequeath mine to my little brother, so I haven’t decided what to do yet. But this is just a reminder that no matter WHAT mobile phone or new gadget you might be buying in the near future, you can probably get some cash for the old one AND feel better about where it’s going if you opt to get rid of it at either of these sites.
