Tim came in a few weeks ago to pick up a check. He was on his way to buy a new Sony PSP for his sons and he happened to mention that he had three broken games to throw away.

“Hold on Tim, bring them in and we’ll sell them for you”, I told him.

He was quite surprised that someone would buy a broken game system. I told him that broken games system, if they’re the right ones, can actually get pretty good value. The buyer will take that game system along with others they buy, rebuild them, and re-sell them as refurbished units. The market’s actually pretty strong for this type of item.

Tim’s three broken game systems sold for $220! Not bad for junk.

Fortunately, that same thing applies to many cell phones and iPods too.

Here’s a recent sale of a broken iPhone and a broken iPod.

Before you throw that broken electronic gadget away, give us a call and see if you can recover some of the cost first.

That broken gadget might be worth something
