Do the Holidays have you strapped for cash?
What if you were good this year and received every techie item on your wish list?
What do you do with older gadgets, which are still in good working condition?

E2E answers your questions!

You want to upgrade to the latest and greatest iPhone 4G or Droid smartphone. WAIT! You still own a good working last model. What do to? Easy. Check out these websites for some quick cash without the hassle.

www.fullcirclewireless.com Chris and I recently sold our iPhone 3G smartphones to Full Circle Wireless. Let me tell you - GREAT customer service! Not only did Full Circle Wireless provide the best price to purchase our “old” iPhones, but it also supplied free FedEx ground shipping labels. The process is easy. Locate your model smartphone on the site; Full Circle Wireless shows what it will pay for your device. Print a prepaid FedEx shipping label. Carefully pack your items. You can either drop off the package at FedEx or have it picked up during your regular FedEx delivery. Fifteen days after the devices are examined and accepted, a check is sent to you. It’s that simple! Shortly after I printed the shipping label, I received a phone call from a customer service representative. He wanted to confirm I had no issues with printing the FedEx label. I also received two emails verifying my transaction, which included FedEx tracking numbers. Check out Full Circle Wireless.

www.gazelle.com I’ve sold many smart phones and tech gadgets through Gazelle. Again, it’s a very simple process. Locate your smartphone or gadget on Gazelle’s site. Gazelle provides pricing to purchase your items. You answer a few questions regarding the condition of the item. Gazelle provides a free UPS or FedEx shipping label. If you don’t have a shipping box, Gazelle will send one free to your address via the US Post Office! You can drop off the package at your local UPS, FedEx, or US Post Office. Gazelle’s Gadget Lab examines each device. You have a choice for payment: deposit into your PayPal account, select an Amazon gift card, or provide a donation to a charity of your choice. Gazelle accepts a wide range of tech devices in addition to smartphones.

What if the item is too old or not in great condition?

Both of these companies will gladly recycle the devices for you!

Just a few tips before you ship off your tech gadgets:

1. Always remove your personal data on the device first.
2. If you sell a smartphone, discard the SIM card after your personal data is cleared.
3. Package your items carefully. You don’t want a damaged device to reach its final destination.
