Shipping Cell Phones

Saw today at the post office where there is a company that is buying back cell phones in conjunction with the USPS (how they got that deal I dont know). Its called Max Back (maxback.com). I looked it up and someone really came up with a sweet deal. Just type in the make/model of the phone you want to return and it will tell you the "up to $" price. They will look at the phone once you send it and let you know how much they will give you for it up to that amount. Of course, all of the phones that pay anything are the newer ones, which you can sell on ebay for a lot more. For kicks I typed in some of the older phones I have and they said "for recycling only". This was followed by the offer to recycle these phones for you if you just send it to them! What a deal! I wish I could do a business where people just send me stuff for free that I can turn around and sell.

Believe it or not people actually do that. We are more industrious than the average white-collar professional. Their lives center around work, financial investments, impressing people they don't like at after-hours social events, weekend vacations and soccer practice. Making money off of the stuff that they don't want or need anymore is the last thing on their minds.
