Do you sell your old things?

I know it's a wide question so anything that is literally junk we can discount for the purposes of this poll.

I tend to keep boxes for things I use for this specific reason. A lot of my "used" items are in good condition so it makes sense to keep the box and maximize any money I can get for them.

Just wondered how many people can be bothered and how they do it.

Yes, as long as it's worth my time. I just got a new router and put my old one on eBay. It was giving me a bit of trouble, and I listed it and described the exact condition it is in and sold it for $50. After fees and shipping that's $35. Listing something on eBay only takes a few minutes and another few minues to box it, slap a label on it, and put it in the outgoing mail in my apartment.

I almost always sell my old electronics, I am not going to ever use them again and they're usually worth a decent amount of money, such as old phones and computers.

Sometimes give it to Charity if its still usable. Now what to do with that copy of Windows 8 I have lying around? :)

You could donate it to me, lol! :p (J/K) I usually give my old tech to family and/or friends who might need it, otherwise, I just chunk it into the garbage. :-/

I sell my stuff primarily because I include what I'll get back from it as part of whether or not I can afford it. For me I'm looking at selling my Lumia 900 once the 920 or 8S comes in stock so then I can use the money I get from that to put towards the cost of purchasing a new phone. When it comes to non-technology stuff I tend to only replace something when it is completely had it - to the point that no one would want to buy it other than to use it (in the case of a desk or book shelf) for firewood.

how the hell do you live off that... impressed if true

It feeds my gadget addiction.. I can tell you I don't go broke by doing it. $30-50 for the newest shiny thing is much better than $500. A&E made a show about living off selling old junk.. I think they called it pawn stars, and several YouTube videos have proven it to be staged.

    • Limited Prime Day deal sees Amazon Echo Show 11 is at its lowest price yet by Ivan Jenic The Amazon Echo Show 11 is currently $149.99 on Amazon during Prime Day, down from $219.99. That's 32% off and $70 saved on Amazon's newest mid-size smart display (purchase link below). As its name suggests, the Echo Show 11 features a 11” Full-HD touchscreen, which is a decent upgrade over the Echo Show 8. It offers 60% more viewing area, which makes a genuine difference for recipes, calendars, video calls, or any other scenario where the smaller display can feel a bit cramped. The Show 11 is built around Alexa+, Amazon's more capable AI assistant that can handle natural conversation. You can make reservations, order groceries, and find content based on your preferences, instead of always having to give it precise commands. There’s also the Omnisense technology, which adds ambient awareness, allowing the device to trigger routines based on temperature, presence detection, or visual cues. Smart home control is built in without needing a separate hub, and the home screen doubles as a photo slideshow when not in use. Taking all of this into account, the Show 11 is a perfect smart addition to your kitchen counter or living room. At $149.99, this is a strong Prime Day buy for anyone already in the Amazon ecosystem or looking to build one out.
