Make Money From Old Cell Phones

My husband and I just ran into a few different friends who were upgrading their cell phones and wanted to get rid of their previous ones. I told them I would gladly take them off their hands. While my husband got a free upgrade out of this deal we also had the opportunity to sell the old phones and make some money. If you've recently made and upgrade or have phones that aren't too old and in working condition than I would suggest trying these sites to see if you can make some extra cash. You can get paid by paypal, check and one even offers an amazon.com gift card plus 5% extra for choosing that option. So check them out!
