Get Money for Your Old Gadgets

If you often upgrade your electronic devices but never get it together to do anything with your outdated gear, there's a new website called Second Rotation that will give you a little bit of cash for them. For eBay and Craigslist pros, it's not particularly useful, but for those of use with old iPods and cellphones lying around that we can't get motivated to deal with, this is an easy way to get rid of everything at once.

After going through the steps and rating the condition of my old gadgets, the site told me that an early model iPod and my pre-PDA cell phones were worth, combined, about a hundred bucks. Not great, but not bad for stuff I had basically written off. All you have to do is print out the shipping labels, attach them to your packages, and have DHL pick them up for free. Your cash comes a few days later after they've had a chance to check out your gear to make sure it's in the condition you say it is.
