What to do with that gadget when it is time to upgrade? Should you sell it? Could you donate it? Maybe you could hand it off to a family member.

Newer models that have upgraded software on it are continually replacing electronic gadgets that we sprang for such a short time ago. We are only human and we want the best available. That will not change any time soon – at least in my case.

Ebay has been an outlet for many of my earliest gadgets. They sold well, especially when I offered them with the original box and the original “in the box” accessories. Selling a gadget requires time, effort and the added stress of convincing a buyer that it works great – you just want a new one.

You may already know about sites such as gazelle.com but I just found them. You simply fill in the blanks and they make you an online offer. For example, at the time of this writing, my AT&T 8525 cell phone (with all original accessories) in good condition (w/ 1 tiny corner ding) would bring me $84.00. Without the ding I would be offered $94.00.

I believe that selling online is a great way to move on to the next level so I would definitely take part in the process – after I searched around to see where I could get the best deal.
