Sell Your Used Electronics on Gazelle
One way to make money online is by selling your old and unwanted electronics on Gazelle. I just sold my three year old Nikon Coolpix L3 for $14 on gazelle. That may not seem like much, but honestly that camera would have sat in my desk drawer for years until I finally threw it out!
I am sure many of you have old electronics that are just dropping in value as each month goes by. I even did a test on Gazelle to see if they pay in proportion to what something is actually worth. We have a Sony Handycam video camera that I paid $900 for last year and I entered the information about this camera onto Gazelle and they offered me $296 for it. In this case, if I were going to sell this camera online – I probably wouldn’t accept $296 for it. But it’s good to know that Gazelle does offer a higher rate for higher valued items.
While it’s true that you might make a slightly higher profit on selling your electronics on ebay – there is no guarantee that you will have a buyer. Gazelle basically tells you upfront exactly how much money they will give you for your item.
If you can purchase used electronics very cheap and then resell them to Gazelle – you might be able to turn a quick profit. The best part is that Gazelle pays for all of the shipping required by emailing you a prepaid mailing label.

I would NOT recommend this service to any one. I sent my cellphone in over a month ago and as of today have yet to receive my funds. The website talks about how “quick” and “easy” the whole process is. “Get your payment within a couple of days” YEAH RIGHT!!!!!!!! But for me its been nothing but a migrane. Supposedly, the sent my payment to Paypal and everything went through just fine… but Paypal doesnt have a record of the transaction. Still trying everyday to get something other than “we are working on it” from the customer service person. STAY AWAY AT ALL COSTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi xosojo – I am sorry you had a bad experience with Gazelle. I have sold them two old cell phones and I recieved my money fairly quickly. Let me know if anyone else out there had a bad experience.
They owe me $350.00 for a one year old laptop. They said they sent a Costco Cash card Oct. 2, but “maybe it got lost in the mail”. “If I don’t receive it by November 2 I should get back to them.” I am sorry to see that Costco has gotten hooked up with these scammers – Costco is a reputable company. What a hassle.
I am sorry you had to experience that – Gazelle paid me whenever I used them. But my payments were much lower amounts. More like $15 or $25.
I am really starting to believe this is a scam as well , it has been over 3 weeks and i sent gazelle my blackberry 8900 curve almost brand new and have yet to receive my funds, everytime i contact them (via chat) no actual phone number i get the run around about the payment date. dont use thi company it’s a scam.let’s see what we can do to stop this fraud!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Sorry, you had to deal with that. I haven’t used Gazelle in many months. When I did use them I got paid. Maybe things have changed on their end. I hope they are not scamming people!
I just sent my package 1 week ago, and one phone condition, they disagreed with me on and offered to return it to me or give me a lower price which I accepted being that the difference was only 11.00 and I had no use of the phone and everyone that wanted to buy it wanted to give me a third of the gazelle offer. I sent 4 items, 2 they said the visa card is mailed and I should have within 7 days. If it comes the whole transaction would be 2 weeks for 2 of my items. Why they were not all processed together I don’t know. I will update next week
Again to update i still havent been paid , i am so upset because my phone was in very good condition and they (gazelle) treat you like crap when you want to know where your money is … for the people that never received their money let’s look into filing a class action lawsuit against them…please don’t use this company and i will include walmart in the lawsuit as well since my check card was supposed to come from them
I have sent in 5 separate items since 8/09. Are they slow; yes, sometimes it can take them over a month to complete payment; other times only 2 weeks. It depends on their staffing. Check quantcast and see their website volume. It is growing tremendously due to them being prime in the market. I had doubts initially, but always find them helpful by phone and web support is always quick. I believe their intentions are good and they are trying. Yes, I think they could update the time process info on their site to be more realistic to their capabilities and current use volume. I always request cash via paypal. Never had a glitch on payment when ultimately processed. Received over $2000 back so far on fairly high ticket items, and am happy. Currently have another item sent in.
Sent in a Brand new HTC HD offered me $300 buck …it’s be a week now and no update on their site that they have received it…tracking says it arrived this past Monday.
