Aug 06, 2008 -- Cash for your old electronics

Many of us are drowning in e-waste with so many electronics in our lives. There's a new website called VenJuvo.com that may help you de-clutter your life and possibly earn a little extra cash. (Editor's note: As of August 2009, Venjuvo's site was no longer up.)

VenJuvo.com is an online trade-in center that pays for pre-owned electronics -- everything from cell phones, mp3 players, computers and cameras to GPS systems and gaming consoles. You simply go to the site, enter the info on what you have and get a quote for what they'll pay you. They pay for shipping and you typically receive your payment in 3 business days.

For items that no longer have value, VenJuvo.com also offers free e-cycling. This is just one of many examples of entrepreneurs exploring e-cycling. Clark once happened upon a cell phone recycling operation when he was shooting a TV story. The operation collected useless cell phones to be reconditioned or stripped for parts.

CellforCash.com and CellPhoneTradeIns.com are a couple of sites where you can try unloading your old cell phone for cash.

UPDATE: Several days after we ran our report, The Wall Street Journal had a story suggesting the following additional sites:
Gazelle.com
TechForward.com (requires a fee to lock in a value)
MyBoneYard.com
