BuyMyTronics.com: No Need for eBay

December 2nd, 2007 | 3 Comments | Posted in uncategorized

buymytronicsI asked the internet community to vote on what I should do with my broken iPod. I didn’t listen and decided to fix it. Since then, my iPod Touch has become my main player and the old, but still working iPod had been pushed into the corner to collect dust, but before it could I found BuyMyTronics.com.

BuyMyTronics.com, which used to be BuyMyBrokeniPod.com, buys old and/or broken iPods, Zunes, and even game consoles, and pays you through PayPal. To submit a “tronic” you’ll go through a few pages of information about the condition of the item you’re wanting to sell and if you have the original accessories and manuals (the more stuff you’ve, got the more you’ll get). When submitting my iPod I also included the box and I ended up making $120. Not bad considering the iPod wasn’t in the best condition and it was the previous generation. My luck on eBay is laughable and BuyMyTronics was the best way for me to make money without having to (attempt) another auction.

How it works

The whole process was very simple. Instructions on sending your iPod in were emailed to you quickly, but shipping to BuyMyTronics is on your tab (and it’s wise to include Delivery Confirmation). The newly redesigned website is also easy to navigate and it’s ad free.

In the future, BuyMyTronics will be buying laptops, cell phones, cameras and “camcorders” (I wonder if they’re talking about the huge black cameras from the early 90’s?). This will be interesting to see how they price the dozens of different types of phones and cameras.

BuyMyTronics is the best choice for those who want to get money for their electronics, but don’t want to hassle with eBay. The procedure is simple and you’ll come out with a full man purse.

Revision3 has Psoriasis?

November 5th, 2007 | 1 Comment | Posted in uncategorized

Revision3, the popular Internet TV channel created by Kevin Rose (and friends), has started to include Google adsense on their site. The recent introduction of these ads is obviously to make money, but the ads sometimes seem odd and almost disruptive to the site.

A great example:

Revision3 Psoriasis

Google adsense is great for making money, but it can easily ruin the look and general theme of a site, much like Revision3. I wasn’t sure what Enbrel was, but after doing some research I learned that it’s medication for Psoriasis (and from my understanding a a pretty good one, too).

It might just be me, but when I see GIANT irrelevant advertising, I tend to look down on the site. I have however noticed that Revision3 is slowly getting more relevent advertising (Netflix, original shows). Or is Enbrel popular among the Internet crowd?

*I’m a hypocrite, on occasion, you’ll see a couple of (extremely) irrelevant ads. Women’s perfume anyone?
