Got Old Computers?
Got Old Computers?
Tuesday, February 26, 2008 Source: Nerd Family Things
What happens when you are done with your Nerd Things? We all (ok, the nerdy of us) have old unused
computers that we don't really know what to do with. We don't want to throw them out because they are of
some use but not really to us. Well now there is an option. Costco has paired with GreenSight to give us an
option (for Costco members). Basically you go to the site and input the details about your computer. Then it
gives you a "trade in value" and if you accept the value you proceed. Then they give you a free, prepaid
shipping label to send the equipment to them. Then you get a Costco Cash card for the "trade in value".
GreenSight salvages any parts that can be used and then works with others to dispose of the remains without
using a landfill. I think that is a win, win!
What a great tip!

Here is another great tip for used Cell Phones
GreenPhone helps you transform your drawer full of unused cell phones into something you'd rather have –
like money! GreenPhone will pay you by check or via PayPal or Obopay – your choice…
You tell us what old (and not-so-old) mobile phones and PDAs you have sitting in a drawer or on a shelf
around the house. We calculate the value of those phones (some PDAs have value too), and tell you what
they are worth. You then send those phones and their related accessories like chargers and data cables in to
us so we can inspect and test them. We can only pay you for working phones and PDAs, but we can recycle
ALL mobile devices and accessories you send us, so don't throw any away just because they aren't valuable -
they ALL have toxic materials in them. We triage, test and pay you for working phones per the terms of the
user agreement. You can read it again here if you like.
GreenPhone pays you top-dollar value for your old cell phones because we have buyers for these phones all
over the world. Those phones may be old to you, but will probably be the first phones our customers on the
other side of the world have ever owned;-)
