Recycle old gadgets (and make a buck or two) with eBay Instant Sale

You might already hawk your valuable old gadgets on eBay, but the auction house wants to broker your smaller transactions too — that’s why it launched eBay Instant Sale this last week. If you’ve got a (moderately recent) gizmo you want to get rid of right away, it looks as easy as can be — answer the two questions above and get an instant offer, plus a free shipping label to mail it out. From the looks of a few sample queries, you won’t get much for older items like the Dell Inspiron 8200 above, but we found a used Palm Pixi in good condition was worth a respectable $57, and even if your old featurephones aren’t worth a cent, eBay’s partners will recycle them for you and pay your shipping fees. Sure, you could donate the lot and write them off your taxes, but this sounds like it might be a worthy alternative to us.
