The Surprising Value of Older Phones

Do you have phones that have been tucked in a drawer since Left Shark stole the Super Bowl and you broke out the Whip and Nae Nae at that forgettable wedding reception? If so, you’re not alone: the average American household has $265 worth of unused gadgets lying around. With the holidays approaching, now could be a good time to cash in on old phones and get free funds for the gift-giving season – and you might be surprised at how much some older phones are worth.
