I stumbled upon an old wasteland full of Hardcore Mac Gamers (InsideMacGames.com) the other day. Upon reading some of their miserable rants in their forum, I began to have sympathy for this bunch. That's when I had a truly inspired idea (God speaking to me again). This is my standing offer to them: "Hello there my Mac using friends, We at MS value our many years of strategic alliance with all of you people. We are so interested in your welfare that we are announcing the Mac Trade-in offer. For every Mac that you turn in while purchasing a PC with Vista preinstalled, MS will send you a rebate for $75! Upgrade from Macs to Windows, join the rest of the world and get $75 back to boot. There is no limit on the number of macs you can turn in!" The offer is only good for the InsideMacGames community for now, however anyone can register with them. I know this is an extraordinary offer, but that's just the way I am; extraordinary. If this little experiment works out with this bunch I will expand it to the entire population of wretched Mac Users! This could be my greatest accomplishment to date, ridding the world of Mac altogether! All for just a few Billion dollars. Sometimes I scare myself. I’ve mad an even better offer!

If I can give someone my "junk" and they give me money, that seems like a good idea! P.S. I will still use the pawn shop when I need cash for my crack though.

A quick look at eBay's closing prices for the same items: Treo 650 ($120-$160 on eBay vs. $85) Apple iPod mini 4gb ($60-$80 vs. $39) Canon Powershot G2 ($80-$120 vs. $43) Garmin Nuvi 660 ($480-$550 vs. $313) [broken items filtered out for this survey] In SecondLife's defense they are entitled to a profit, but I'm sure many of these items that SecondLife collects probably end up pn eBay. If your comfortable selling on eBay, sell it yourself otherwise find someone who can help you. The tradeoff here is convenience vs. top dollar.

I was surprised that they don't list any satellite radios on that site. How about a similar site/service, selling parts & accessories? I have antennae, power cords, batteries, etc., from deceased mobile phones, computers, satellite radios....

As Andrew said, why wouldn't I just sell it myself on eBay? I can list an item there in 5 minutes.
