OMG! Leo comes up with a very interesting website for this Turn The Table Tuesday!

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010, Netcast 1037 

You think you have old cell phones & PDA's? These have just passed inspection.Forget the Up-Chuck, the Toothpick Bird and even the Penguin Tea Timer! This time it’s a Gazelle. No, not the animal, but a neat, new website. If you’re like me, you have a bunch of old gizmos and gadgets you don’t need or want, but you’re just too lazy to put them on Ebay. Instead of gathering dust, wouldn’t it better if they were gathering cash! That’s what the Gazelle website is all about! (DISCLAIMER: Gazelle.com is a new sponsor for TWiT. It is not a sponsor of the Daily Giz Wiz, however. But knowing Leo, he’s checked it out carefully.) Here’s a bit of info, some of which I lifted from their website: GAZELLE helps consumers earn cash for unwanted gadgets. It’s a guilt-free and environmentally friendly way to unload used gadgets. First off you *Get Rewarded* -- you get paid for the items you are not using without the friction of person-to-person selling. Second - *Be Environmental* ' Recycling starts with reusing ' extending the life of electronics by reintroducing them to the market. When items have reached the end of their life, Gazelle ensures they are recycled responsibly and are backed with a zero landfill policy. And finally, if you want you can *Make a Difference* Use the cash you make to fund a cause you care about through charity donation options. While online marketplaces and consignment shops are time consuming, risky and a hassle for consumers, Gazelle offers a fast, easy, and trusted solution that is both green and smart. We call that 'reCommerce.' To start, go the website and enter the gadget or gizmo you own. Then answer a couple of questions about the condition of the item. Then you’ll learn how much Gazelle will pay for the item. If you want to do the deal, they’ll send you a postage-paid box so you can send them the item. Once it’s examined, you get your check, assuming your assessment of the gadget's condition was correct. I plan on trying it soon!

Have no a lot of cash to buy some real estate? Don't worry, just because this is available to get the business loans to work out such kind of problems. So take a small business loan to buy everything you require.

That is a brilliant site! I think everyone, has at least one gadget that is just sitting at their home right now, and it's such a great help to the environment, instead of throwing those gadgets away.
