Anyone who makes their living using computers grapples keeping up with new upgrades I’m on my 7th cell phone, for example). Over time, most develop a vast “gadget graveyard” of once wondrous devices that lost their lustre or just became outdated over time.
What to do? Web Worker Daily profiled a new company called TechForward that has an ingenious idea…sell guaranteed buyback values on a new device (computers, MP3 players monitors and televisions). As long as the item is in good condition and all manuals are kept, you can get a darned good buck for your trade in. TechForward will salvage parts and/or dispose of the item in an environmentally responsible way…a nice reassurance that your gizmo doesn’t end up in a landfill.
It’s a great idea – and definitely an option to consider when I upgrade something (which is likely to be soon).
