OK, now we are in an era where we change our phones/laptops/tablets almost every year (its mostly every other year for me), and we end up with lots of gadgets, what you guys do with your old gadgets?

I still have almost all the gadgets that i have bought/owned, i refuse to sell them or gave them to anyone, i dont know why, i still keep them all (from my first phone, my first laptop, its still there somewhere collecting dust). I still have all my last 4 smartphones in perfect working condition, use only one of them as my main phone.

^^ this, already got a mini gadget museum with all those old Sony Ericsson phones (i was a huge SE fan, used only SE phones till Android came). Bro says its a gadget torture museum, cause i still do all kind of experiments with my gadgets (cooking my own roms, experimenting with all kind of peripheral connection etc)

I usually leave them around the house, and sell a few things that are still worth selling so that I can upgrade. I still have my PS1, PS2, and a few games lying around

I usually sell them on eBay. That way a portion of the profits can go towards my new device.
For mobile phones, I give it to a charity.

Re: What you guys do with your old gadgets?

OK so my Wii stopped reading discs, AGAIN. Last time i paid Nintendo, $90 to have it fixed. I am not paying $90 again for the same stupid defect, especially when used Wii's are available on Craiglist for about $80.00

So what should I do with the Wii? I can do everything else (Channels and Mii creation and what not) but cannot play any games. Shoulkd I throw it away, donate to Salvation Army (I am afraid that they will sell it to someone and higher price without disclosing the defect) or keep it?

Re: What you guys do with your old gadgets?

Put an ad on craigslist, mention the defect and have them come pick it up. Or Gazelle it.

Re: What you guys do with your old gadgets?

you cannot do Wii on Gazzelle. I cant sell it for more than $20.00 on Craigslist. I mean who would buy it really even for that price. And for $20 bucks, its sounds like a hassle to communicate with bunch of weirdos asking stupid question and then go and meet someone
