Costco has teamed up with Gazelle to offer its members a Trade-In & Recycle Program. Members receive a cash card for their trade-ins good for anything at Costco warehouses or online. Laptops, cell phones, LCD monitors, external hard drives, digital cameras, camcorders, MP3 players, movies, camera lenses, streaming media, projectors, Blue-Ray players, home audio, calculators, PDAs, GPS devices, gaming consoles, satellite radios and video games are all welcome. Trade in your old computer through 10/15/09 and get a 10% bonus. Every item gets an offer and personal data will be wiped from all items. There’s no limit on the number of items you can sell; the more you sell, the more cash you make. Gazelle even offers free shipping and packaging, within the continental U. S., on all qualifying items. They’ll send you a prepaid shipping box or label and insure packages up to the value they offered you for their contents. Cash card payments normally arrive within 10 business days after an item has been received, inspected and approved.
Gazelle has also built a network of local recyclers to help you with some items that are not currently accepted online: televisions, CRT monitors, printers and fax machines. You can search by zipcode to find the drop off location nearest to you.
If you’re a Costco member, it couldn’t be any easier to declutter and get rid of unwanted or unused electronic items so act now!
