Gazelle.com is the nations leading high-end consumer electronics trade-in service. If you’re looking to put some extra cash into your wallet, and you have an extra , old, or even broken smartphone or Apple product, Gazelle is the right place for you.
Gazelle.com accepts  Blackberry, HTC, LG, Motorola, Nokia and Samsung cell phones. Gazelle also accepts many Apple products like iPhones, iPods, iPads and Macbooks.
The process of getting an offer and sending your product in is simple. I’ll walk you through trading in an iPhone. On Gazelle‘s home page, an array of Apple products are displayed. Clicking on the first one, the iPhone, will display all of the iPhone models. Simply select your model, and then select your mobile carrier. The next step is to select the capacity of your iPhone. After that, select the condition your iPhone is in, and you’ll see your offer! The offer for my iPhone 4 32GB with normal signs of use is $180. If you are pleased with your offer, click ‘Add to box’ and enter your email address so that Gazelle can send you shipping details and progress updates. After that, you can choose how you want to get paid.
I could choose to have the $180 I’d be getting for my iPhone 4 to be put on an Amazon gift card and put a bit of an impact on my ‘to-play’ list, or I could even choose to have Gazelle donate that money one of the many accredited charities listed. You get to choose how Gazelle pays you. You can choose to be paid via check, PayPal, Amazon gift card, or you can choose to donate the money. The last step of the process is to enter your shipping information. Gazelle pays for the shipping and if your product is small enough, they’ll even send you a labeled box to send it to them with.
Once Gazelle receives your shipment, a trained member of their team will evaluate your product and if everything checks out, payment will be initiated within 24 hours.
If you decide to trade something in and you aren’t happy with their offer, by signing up for Gazelle‘s Offer Updates and selecting the item you want to sell, Gazelle will send you updates on their current valuation of that product. Since offer prices can change at any time, Offer Updates are a great way to decide when the best time is to trade in your item.
If you’re a poor, college game like me, and all of the great new game released coming up this fall are enticing you, Gazelle is a fantastic service to use to put some extra cash in your pocket and make sure you don’t miss out on any nerdy action!
