Trade Your Phone for Cash or Charity at FlipSwap

You may remember CellForCash, the Web service that lets you trade your old cell phone for cold, hard cash. Want to do something a little more charitable? Check out FlipSwap, which offers either cash or a charitable donation for your unwanted phone.

Just input a few details about the unit -- condition, included accessories, etc. -- and FlipSwap will give you its buyout value. If you agree, you'll get a printable mailing label so you can ship the phone to the service -- at their expense! Once they receive it and give it a once-over, you can have a check sent to you or to one of a handful of charities.

Nice! I just "flipped" an old demo phone that was sitting in a box doing nothing. The process was extremely easy, and I have the satisfaction of knowing that the Fisher House is roughly $46 richer. [via TechCrunch]
