Cash For Clunker Cell Phones

The government’s Cash for Clunkers program may be ending for automobiles. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t a great idea. Did you know that there is a way you can get cash for your old clunker cell phone? In fact, there’s cash available for all sorts of unwanted electronic devices. You should really be getting your share.

Golden Egg With Money. Get Yours From Old Gadgets.Scratching your head because you haven’t heard about this on TV? That’s because it isn’t part of the hot news cycle right now. But that doesn’t mean you can’t get paid for old cell phones, laptop computers, PDAs, GPS systems, camcorders, gaming consoles, video games, satellite radios, external disk drives, LCD monitors, calculators, movies, camera lenses, desktop computers, streaming media, Blu-Ray players, home audio, projectors, digital cameras and MP3 players.

Whew! You didn’t realize that you had so many clunkers sitting around your house, did you? They may well be worth cash. The only way to find out for sure is to check the value of your electronic gadgets. You can do that right now.

To be sure, this is not a government program like the “Cash For Clunkers” stimulus. Some might think it should be, but there’s no need. The commercial marketplace has already risen to the occasion. In fact, this opportunity has been available for some time. It just isn’t as well known as it deserves to be.

How does it work? You may suspect that the cell phone that just came off of a two year service contract might be worth something. But it’s not your priority. What you want to do is start using the new cell phone that you got for free or at a deep discount from your new provider. So, the old cell goes into a desk drawer where it will be safe until you figure out what to do with it. Time passes and five or ten years later it’s still there. Only now it’s really not worth anything. Had you recycled it for cash right after you started using your new cell phone, you might have gotten $25, $50, $100 or more. That’s even if you got the phone for free in the first place.

The process is simple. You simply check the value of your electronic device, get an instant offer and request a prepaid shipping carton. Drop your electro-clunker in the mail and you’ll get a check in return. Does it get any easier than this?

If you indeed have a worthless clunker, you can also send it in for proper recycling. Electronic waste is becoming a scourge on society, as it piles up in landfills and leaches out toxic chemicals. Be part of the solution and send your unwanted electronics in for recycling instead of just tossing it.
