SLEEspot: Make some money off your old cell phone
August 17th, 2009, 4:00 pm · 1 Comment · posted by Tamara Chuang, a.k.a. The Gadgetress
This month, Gadgetress’ summer intern Sandra Lee is posting a tech bargain, tip or fun fact every day at 4 p.m. Short, sweet and simple: It’s the SleeSpot!
You could recycle your old cell phone but if it still works, why not make some money from it? NextWorth, an electronics recycler, is now accepting all cell phones. If the phone still works, NextWorth will send you a check, credit your PayPal account or ship a Target or Amazon gift card. If it doesn’t work, the company will send you a pre-paid envelope to ship the phone back to them for proper disposal. Win, win!
