Fonts. We see them every day. We use them for work. We see them in advertisements. Like anything we use regularly, fonts get boring. There are thousands of different fonts on the net, many of them free to use, but society seems stubborn of finding new fonts.

BuyMyTronics: Now Buying More “Tronics”

I sold my video iPod about four months ago to BuyMyTronics, which at the time only bought iPods. They have expanded the number of electronics they are accepting and you can now submit your cell phone or game console. BuyMyTronics rids you of the hassles of eBay and will buy any gadget: new, used, working, and even broken. The better condition and the more accessories you’ve kept for the gadget will mean more money in your pocket.

I have a couple old cell phones and an original Xbox (which has become the 360’s stand) that I was considering submitting to BuyMyTronics. The Xbox (which includes the box, TV cords, and the power cord came out to be $18.00, which is low compared to what you might get on eBay. The first cell phone I tried was a two year old LG flip phone (which included the box, charger, and charging dock). It was in pretty good condition, but BuyMyTronics would only buy it from me for $0.00, which doesn’t seem quite worth it (especially after paying for shipping). I tried my year old Motorola phone and it had the same fate.

No Money for me

BuyMyTronics has grown into a great site to sell your new or used gadget. Customer service, if you need help, is quick and understanding (much better than eBay’s). If you’re looking to get rid of an old cell phone, I would recommend recycling it at a Staples. The old cell phones go to undeveloped countries which feels better than a couple bucks in your pocket. Right?
