If you’ve got some old electronic devices that no longer work or you no longer need, you should consider selling them. Yes, that old iPod or Walkman can be sold or cash.
It’s easier than ever today to make money online by selling your used items, including electronics. The good news is your don’t have to go to the local mall to make a transaction; it can all be done online.
Before selling your electronics, remember to:
First, Wipe Your Data Off Your Device
It’s up to you to ensure all personal data is removed from the devices before selling them. The last thing you want is someone with access to your personal data because you were too lazy to erase your device.
Where To Sell Your Old Electronics
In this article, I’m going to show you where you can sell your old electronics.
There are several options for selling old electronics, depending on your preferences and the condition of the items. Here are some common avenues:
Online Marketplaces
You already know about Amazon no doubt, but what about the tons of other online marketplaces out there that allow you to sell stuff online? Let’s take a look:
eBay
An online auction and shopping website eBay allows you to list your electronics for sale. You get to decide whether to auction the item off to the highest bidder or set up a traditional sale with a set price.
Facebook Marketplace
Facebook is for more than making friends, it’s also for making money. Facebook Marketplace is a platform for buying and selling items locally within your community.
In Atlanta, people are selling just about everything you can think of on the site.
Gazelle
Gazelle.com is a website that buys used electronics, offering quotes based on the condition of the items.
Swappa: A marketplace specifically for buying and selling used electronics like smartphones and laptops.Craigslist
Websites like Craigslist or Gumtree allow you to list items for sale locally. Here’s how I was able to sell my iPhone on Craigslist.
- Go to Craigslist.com and click on the “Post” button in the top right corner.
- Choose the location (city of Atlanta, OTP East, OTP West, etc.)
- Fill out the form explaining the posting title, description and ZIP Code.
- A map will pop up, allowing you to add your location and cross street for reference.
- Next it’s time to add images to your post (the more images, the better your post will likely do).
- Now it’s time to pay $5 to $25 depending on whether it’s a service or job posting.
You can pay via credit card or PayPal. Once payment is complete, you’ll receive an email with a link that allows you to click and publish.
Trade-in Programs
There are many websites with trade-in programs for your electronics. Apple Trade-In and the Best Buy Trade-In programs are two of the best who make it easy.
Want to ditch an old phone? Verizon, T-Mobile and AT&T are three wireless carriers that have trade-in programs where you can exchange your old electronics for store credit or a discount on a new purchase.
Aside from trade-ins, you can buy used phones in the area as well.
Recycling Centers and Garage Sales
If your electronics are old and no longer functional, consider recycling them. Many electronic retailers and recycling centers accept old electronics for proper disposal.
You can also find buyers for your electronic items by taking advantage of community sales events like estate sales and garage sales.
To sell your old electronics directly to individuals, you can also look up local flea markets, or swap meets in your area.
Final Word
Remember to check in with local electronics stores, as some may buy used electronics or offer trade-in programs.
When you list your old electronics for sale, make sure to provide clear and accurate descriptions of the item’s condition.
And finally, be super-cautious when meeting people for local transactions, and consider using secure payment methods for online sales to protect yourself and the buyer.

A woman was arrested In Atlanta on Thursday, Dec. 7, 2023, after she was caught allegedly pouring gasoline on the birth home of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
Laneisha Shantrice Henderson, 26, who was recorded on cell phone video dousing the porch with what witnesses say smelled like gasoline, was stopped by passersby, who alerted Atlanta police.
Henderson is reportedly a former Sailor with the U.S. Navy. Her father told local media that Henderson had been missing for a couple days and was likely going through a mental health episode.
Watch the events online on video:
Chief Darin Schierbaum told reporters that the criminal act was witnessed by two tourists from Utah, who intervened when they saw her try to ignite the liquid.
According to media reports, two off-duty NYPD officers who happened to be visiting the area detained the woman until local APD officers came.
Local law enforcement officials have reached out to the woman’s family to determine her mental health.
Nonetheless, she has been charged with criminal attempt to commit arson and criminal attempt to damage government property. She could also face federal charges.
The King Center said in a statement, “Fortunately, the attempt was unsuccessful thanks to the brave intervention of Good Samaritans and the quick response of law enforcement … Our prayers are with the individual who allegedly committed this criminal act.”
Final Word
The MLK birth home is undergoing renovations as of Thanksgiving weekend.
Some of the work that needs to be done on the home includes interior wall replacement, adding a crawlspace, exterior painting, driveway, window and door repairs and more.
The NPS bought the King home in December 2018 and has been charged with its upkeep ever since.

The Georgia Bulldogs will play Florida State Seminoles on Dec. 30, 2023 at the Orange Bowl in Miami.
The Seminoles will be looking to make a statement after the undefeated team was left out of the College Football Playoff, becoming the only undefeated Power Five team to be left out of the playoffs in the 10 years the four-team format has existed.
Georgia vs. Florida State in Orange Bowl
Critics of the controversy surrounding the snub say the move has tarnished college football and will hurt the credibility of the sport.
UGA Coach Kirby Smart said that many of his players are hurt that Georgia didn’t get into the College Football Playoff with one loss.
”We’ve got a whole hornets nest of players who are mad they didn’t get in,” he said in a recent interview.
While you can expect some UGA players with NFL draft prospects to weigh whether to play in the game, Georgia running back Kendall Milton told reporters that he will suit up against Florida State.
“There’s no way I would abandon my brothers,” Milton said. “I’ve been through hell and back with these boys, so there’s no way that I won’t take every opportunity that I can to be able to play with them.”
The Georgia didn’t think their 2023 schedule would end this way. They lost to the Alabama Crimson Tide 27-24 on Saturday, Dec. 2, 2023 in a showdown between the best teams in the SEC.
The Dawgs, which saw their 29-game win streak end, pulled up just short in their bid to win a third straight SEC Championship and national title after playing from a 10-point lead for most of the second half.
Final Score
The College Football playoffs feature a quartet of perennial juggernauts.
The No. 1 Michigan Wolverines will play the No. 4 Alabama Crimson Tide in the Rose Bowl semifinal. The Washington Huskies, No. 2, will face the No. 3 Texas Longhorns in the Sugar Bowl semifinal.

If you’ve looked at your Georgia Power bill lately, you know that there are perhaps some improvements you can do to reduce the hit to your wallet.
This article will show you some ways to cut your energy bill at home.
1. Check Your Insulation
Make sure the insulation in your attic is adequate for the size of your home. Insulation This aids in minimizing the loss of heated or cooled air and alleviates the strain on your system.
Various alternatives exist for enhancing insulation in pre-existing structures. You can opt for professional services like blown-in insulation, or take the do-it-yourself approach. However, if you choose the latter, ensure to wear appropriate gloves and a mask for safety.
2. Upgrade Your Lights
Conventional incandescent light bulbs exhibit significant inefficiency, with a staggering 90% of the energy they consume being dissipated as heat.
That’s why people are getting away from incandescent bulbs, with compact fluorescent and, eventually, LED bulbs becoming the preferred alternatives.
Best LED Bulbs
Here are some LED Bulbs that will last longer and save you money.
Energetic 24-Pack A19 LED Light Bulb, 60 Watt
Feit Electric Smart Light Bulbs with RGB Color
Sunco 10 Pack Vanity Globe Light Bulbs G25 LED
While the initial investment for upgrading to these newer technologies may be relatively high, the long-term benefits outweigh the costs due to reduced operating expenses. The efficiency disparity between incandescent and CFL/LED bulbs is substantial. Additionally, LED bulbs boast an extended lifespan, leading to savings by reducing the frequency of bulb replacements.
3. Watch the Use Of Your Appliances
Appliances are the #1 thing that runs your energy bill up the most. Here are some appliances to keep an eye on.
- Air conditioner
- Water heater:
- Lighting:
- Refrigerator:
- Washer and dryer
4. Switch To a Smart Thermostat
These days, high-tech thermostats are not only more convenient (many of them can be operated via app), but they give you more efficient use of your heating and cooling, which saves you money.
Here are a couple of high-tech thermostats that we like:
Ubipol Smart WiFi 7 Day/4 Periods Programmable Touchscreen
Honeywell HomeWi-Fi Smart Color
Remember to cut off or lower the temperature of your thermostat at night to reduce your bill.
Final Word
Reducing the thermostat setting during unoccupied hours or at night can result in approximately 1% in savings for every degree lowered over an eight-hour period. For instance, lowering the thermostat from 72 to 65 during the night could potentially save you $70, assuming an annual heating cost of $1,000.

The Georgia Bulldogs lost to the Alabama Crimson Tide 27-24 on Saturday, Dec. 2, 2023 in a showdown between the best teams in the SEC.
The Dawgs, which saw their 29-game win streak end, pulled up just short in their bid to win a third straight SEC Championship and national title after playing from a 10-point lead for most of the second half.
UGA quarterback Carson Beck had a solid game, finishing with 249 yards passing. He also rushed for two touchdowns from the one yard line.
Georgia’s outstanding tight end Brock Bowers, who had 51 yards receiving, looked to be not 100% since coming back from injury two weeks ago. Ladd McConkey finished the night with 38 yards and seemed to be limping after a first-half collision.
On the other side of the field, Alabama freshman quarterback Jalen Milroe officially put the SEC on notice that he is coming strong in 2024. Tide Head Coach Nick Saban said after the game that the victory took not only Milroe, but the whole squad.
“This is a team. These guys here are what you call a team,” Saban said. “This is a great team. They play together as a team. They overcame adversity. They showed today and proved that they can win against anybody.”
The loss means that Georgia may lose out on a chance to make it to the College Football Playoff, which Head Coach Kirby Smart does not agree with.
“You’re going to tell me, someone is sitting in that committee room and doesn’t think that Georgia team is one of the best four teams, I don’t know if they’re in the right profession,” Smart said after the game.
Final Play
Will Georgia make it to the Big Dance? The Dawgs’ strength of schedule is impeccable. We will have to wait and see.

Opening statements continued on the second day of the racketeering trial against Atlanta rapper Young Thug. Court proceedings began Monday, Nov. 27, 2023 in a packed Fulton County, Georgia, courtroom.
Fulton prosecutors, led by Fani Willis, allege that Young Thug, aka Jeffrey Williams, was the self-proclaimed leader of the YSL (Young Slime Life) criminal enterprise affiliated with the Bloods street gang.
On the other hand, the defendant claims that YSL — which stands for Young Stoner Life — was little more than a homegrown record label.
YSL Trial: Day 2
On day two, Williams’ attorneys did their best to turn the narrative that Young Thug’s lyrics described crimes on its head. And one point, Attorney Brian Steel said, “
“Drive-by shootings. These are common themes. This is, you will learn, this is studio gangsters. They are in the studio. They are creating music for us to listen to,” said Steel.
About a year ago, former YSL label mate Gunna pleaded guilty to RICO charges, which he claims don’t affect Young Thug’s case one way or the other.
YSL Trial: Day 1
In her opening statements, Fulton Chief Deputy DA Adriane Love opened by prepping jurors about what they will hear about Williams.
“What you will not hear any evidence of is that the defendants were not involved in a criminal street gang,” she said.
She went on to paint Williams as “King Slime,” someone who turned the community into a haven of crime.
“They created a crater in the middle of Fulton County’s Cleveland Avenue community that sucked in the youth, the innocence and even the lives of some of its youngest members,” she said.
The trial’s first day has been marked by many testy exchanges between the judge and the state and defense, including one in which all Powerpoint presentations were denied.
The judge also introduced his dog to the trial, saying to ignore it during proceedings.
Williams’ attorneys have said that the rapper is innocent on all counts.
