Knowing that they will help increase the price of a gadget if the seller provided a price below its current potential value makes me feel comfortable trusting them. I think Gazelle will be of great service to me.

Michelle,
I think the founders of Gazelle have created some powerful contacts and they certainly had a wonderful idea, creating this kind of business.
Especially today, when the electronic items become obsolete very quickly …

Hi Erik,
If ever I gave a product for them to sell and they found out that it is no longer good to sell, will they be the one who will spend for shipping it back to me or it will be charge on my part?

Is the appraisal of the gadgets good? I have a play station one stocked at my drawers but I’m not sure if its still working but the last time I’ve checked its still okay.

Gazelle has good appraisal, I think.
And anyway, it is worth, rather than leave it in the drawers!

Excellent resource to make some extra cash from old electronics. I have also found a good way that ties in with this to go to yard sales and thrift stores, pick them up cheap, and then send them to gazelle.

Hello Jeff,
fantastic idea, that match also with CraigsList for example :
You have to look into “For Sale” category and inside it, there is a section called “free stuff” : here people give away stuff they do not want, for free. You simply have to go pick them up and some times you can even check before pictures of these items.
You may also find electronic stuff…!

Thanks for the tips. I like ways to make money without doing too much work. This is such a method.
Cheers

Hi Jason,
I think Gazelle is precisely focused on electronic items, more than eBay or Craiglist.
Thanks for your comment !

Thanks for sharing Erik. This is actually a good way to make a little money from your old gadgets. I never knew this site before. It seems like a great site as an alternative for ebay.

Going green by putting some green back into your pockets! Another great spin off placed on a smaller niche considering how large the market is on selling 2nd hand stuff!

Hello Jo,
Gazelle is a wonderful resource to sell your old electronic gadgets…
above all in this global economic crisis, you can have some more
money to purchase the Christmas gifts, for example…
November 30, 2011 at 2:00 pm
Do they accept broken electronics or just old unwanted electronics? If they accept broke electronics then i agree this is truly a great resource.
Cheers!
November 30, 2011 at 4:08 pm
Hello Nick,
you can check on their site.
They do accept broken electronics,
of course the quotation you will receive from your items
will be much less than good conditions electronics.
Enjoy !
