Recycling electronics for cash?

complimentschemistry

Hi there,

Just a quick question - is there a website in which you can recycle your old electronics like games consoles or stereos and get money for it? Like the mobile phone recycling sites.

Thanks!

I've not come across one, but it would be a great idea.

Ebay, or the local ads paper

I was wondering the same
I have a really really old computer - so old that it is so ridiculously slow and I doubt the fact that anyone would want to buy it.

Is there a place where I can recylce for cash?

When selling on eBay don't you just sell the pieces?

Plus, I have a HiFi System that I want to get rid of and a telephone.

I'm struggling to find a website for the UK. Sending it abroad would just be mad wouldn't it?

It's always worth checking Ebay past sales as some 'retro' games stuff can go for silly prices, especially in good condition with boxes/manuals etc. There's an Atari 800 going for £200 with 25 bids.

I really, really, really wanted an Atari 800 when I was a kid.

It's surprising what people will buy 2nd hand. A few years ago we sold an old computer in the local paper. It wouldn't boot up and had 2 viruses. We stated that in the advert but someone still bought it for £40. Couldn't believe it. The chap who bought it said that he would use what he could from it. Recently, my partner sold a broken MP3 player on ebay for £16. He was very honest in the descritption about the fact that it didn't work at all, but it still had a lot of interest. I guess there are people out there who like to fiddle with taking stuff apart, building compsoite stuff, etc, I don't know.
