Know What You Have

Before you start throwing your old electronics into the wild, take a moment to evaluate what you’ve got. From smartphones to gaming consoles, knowing the value of your items is crucial.

Tip: Be Honest with Yourself

Are you really going to use that 2005 iPod? Or is it just a relic in your drawer? Be honest! If you haven’t touched it in years, it’s probably time to sell electronics that are just gathering dust.

Researching Value: Don’t Get cheated!

Once you know what you've got, it’s time to research! Websites like eBay, Craigslist, and even specialized sites like Gazelle give you a ballpark figure of what your electronics are worth.

Comparison Shopping
