Do you have a broken iPod? Why not get paid for it? Instead of it taking space or throwing it away, there are two amazing services I have found, who are willing to take it off your hands and pay you.
The first one is called buymybrokenipod.com and it follows 3 easy steps:
- Describe your iPod and get an instant quote
- Fill in payment information and ship the iPod to them
- Within 24 hours of reception, you get paid by either PayPal or sent in mail
Working iPods get an average of $100 (ranging between $10-$330). A broken one averages $30 (ranging between $2-$216).
The second service was launched by gadgetlocker.com, an e-commerce site primarily selling Apple gear. They offer a flat fee of $20 credit for use on their online store for your old or broken iPods. Although the second option seems less appealing, in some cases it may be a better one. With this option shipping costs are paid by gadgetlocker.com, unlike buymybrokenipod.com where shipping costs are paid by you.
