If you’ve given up on Craigslist and Ebay for selling your used electronic gadgets, you still might like Gazelle (formerly Second Rotation), a company that will buy your old ipod, phone, Wii etc and sell it on ebay. You find your item — a phone, a console, etc. — and tell Gazelle the condition. You print out a shipping package, ship it to the company, and they pay you a rate gleaned from multiple sources that should, in theory, reflect the real value of the device. Gazelle then sells the thing again, hopefully making a profit.
