Me: I live in Silicon Valley with my wife, child and cat. I have worked at Microsoft since I graduated from College, both in the Macintosh Business Unit on products such as Outlook Express, Entourage, IE, and Virtual PC and in Windows Live on Hotmail, Calendar and People. I am currently a Principal Lead Program Manager on the Windows Live Social Networking team. I basically manage a team of Program Managers responsible for delivering features to support our web and client applications. I've been blogging since 2001 and like to play around with .NET in my spare time working on projects such as dasBlog (the blog that powers this site) and Send to SmugMug (an application for uploading photos to SmugMug). I blog about a number of technology and productivity related topics.

I refresh a bunch of my gadgets almost yearly. This includes things like iPods, Cameras, Phones etc. Selling these items through eBay can be tedious. Selling them through Craigslist usually has some one on my doorstep negotiating a different price with me. Both are annoying.
In fact, I just just sold something on eBay yesterday and eBay decided to “hold” my money for 21 days. That is just lame. Actually this is PayPal, but whatever, same company.
So for the past few months I’ve used a service called Gazelle. I love this service because they tell you up front how much they will pay you for something. They will also ship you a postage paid box to send the item to them. When they receive the item, they inspect it and then pay you via PayPal, Amazon Gift Card, check, or you can donate to charity.
Gazelle is super easy to use… and you get money without any hassles.
My only complaint is that they don’t buy all forms of Gadgets, but if you have a camera, digital music player, mobile phone or anything listed below, it’s a bit easier than eBay or Craigslist IMHO.
Another great thing is that they will recycle anything of no value for you.
Give them a try next time you need to sell a gadget.
