Sell or Recycle Old Devices with Ebay Instant Sale

Ebay has launched an Instant Sale service that could help move that pile of used electronics it seems we are all collecting. The first step is to search for your particular gadget on the site. Then, you answer a few questions regarding the condition. After that, an offer is generated. Once you accept the offer you receive a shipping label for your item. Once the item is received and verified the funds are placed in your PayPal account. Items deemed as not having any value are recycled for free. I ran a test listing a Blackberry Bold 9700 described in excellent condition (working and out of the box new) with charger. I was offered $131. The same Bold described in good condition (working with some signs of use) was $98. You probably won’t make a ton of cash via this service but every little bit helps… right?
