For me, it is a time issue. If it takes 2 hours to deal with an ebay auction for an old phone (pictures/description/S&H/feedback), but I can sell it to Gazelle for $5-10 bucks less and let them hassle with it, it is really worth it.

It's true that you probably earn less money than selling it yourself on ebay, but it's totally hassle free. I used Gazelle to sell a Nokia e61 phone and it worked great.

Not only could it be beneficial to the tech marketplace in general (maybe make much of it more affordable to the masses, even if it is second hand), but also saves some of these from landfills (or at least delay their arrival a little longer).
