The holiday season always makes me want to clean out my closets. Or, maybe it is my wife nagging at me to get rid of some things. I have to say that I am a gadget guy. I love gadgets, iPods, computers, laptops, DVD players, or just about anything that will plug into the wall or an internet connection. But, the problem is that I have too many things. I have four iPods. I keep buying a new one as the next generation of the Apple iPod comes out, but I also have a few that I of course do not use or that are broken. So, how do you get rid of or sell your broken iPod? Below are three ways to sell your Apple iPod.

Customers drop off an iPod, iPod mini, or an old iPod photo will receive the discount on the purchase of a new iPod that same day. This program and others initiated by Apple has led the company’s worldwide recycling programs to recycle more than 130 million pounds of electronic equipment since its inception in 1994.
