Goodbye old phone, hello ten bucks
9.27.2007 8:23 AM \| Link	After getting my iPhone, I had to figure out what to do with my old Motorola V505 phone. It was really cool a long time ago, but for the past year or so it's felt more like a clunky piece of junk in my pocket! I probably would have tossed in the garbage (which I know is a bad idea, although I have to admit I've done it with other cell phones), but I recently read about Second Rotation, which is a site that buys old electronics, so I thought I would give it a try. It was super easy to sign up, find the model of my phone on the site, and answer a few questions about it's condition. They immediately tell you what they will pay (which was $10 in my case), and you can instantly print a pre-paid shipping label. So, I just put everything in a bubble envelope, taped on the label, and that was it! It cost me nothing, and I didn't add to any electronics landfills! This morning my $10 payment showed up in my PayPal account, so even though it took a few weeks to get paid, they came through with the cash. Second Rotation is a fantastic idea - I really hope the company stays around long enough for a few more of my gadget upgrades! Labels: life
