2. eBay
This one is obvious. You can sell anything on eBay, but electronics do especially well on the auction site right when a new model is announced. All generations of Kindle should get a nice bump in selling price right now, but it also allows someone looking to get their first e-reader or tablet to start at a cheaper price point.
3. NextWorth
The ultimate electronics reseller, NextWorth buys just about any type of gadget or accessory you can think of, including many models of the Kindle. The online service is easy to use and you can get a quote for how much they’ll pay for your e-reader or tablet before committing to selling it with them. Prices vary depending on the condition your device is in and the demand for that particular gadget at that time.
4. BuyBackWorld
Like NextWorth, BuyBackWorld is an online electronics reseller, with a similar buying process. The company gives you a quote on your device based on self-reported condition and what accessories you’ll be including. Once your device is received and inspected, payment is issued within 48 hours. The whole process typically takes about a week.
5. RadioShack
The electronics store lets you trade-in your used devices either in-store or online, so for those who may feel a little uncomfortable with packing up your gadget and sending it on its way, this may be a less nerve-wracking option. RadioShack is currently buying back all models of Kindle going all the way back to the first generation. Prices vary depending on which model you’re trading in and what condition it’s in.
So there you go. If you absolutely have to upgrade, these are some surefire ways to make a little money off your old device and ensure it doesn’t end up in a landfill. It also gives another person the chance to take advantage of a perfectly good used device at an affordable price. It’s all win-win-win.
