    That's what I usually do, but some of my stuff is too old to really be worth anything like my Inspiron 1525...

    I used to resell my old electronics on eBay but after I was left hanging by buyers who backed out after winning auctions several times I decided to go the route of recycling for low-value items.

    If I have a more expensive item that I want to sell I usually work with an eBay selling service that takes a percentage of the sale. It means less money for me than if I sold it myself but it also saves time and reduces my stress/rage since I don't have to deal with bad buyers.
