    How to sell old mobile phones

    Your has-been cellphones may still have some resale value.

    Web sites such as CellForCash.com, SellYourOldCellPhone.com, GreenPhone.com and CashOldPhone.com will generally pay between $2 and $200 for functioning phones that you are no longer using, depending on the make and model. These sites refurbish and repackage phones to be sold in markets such as India and Latin America.

    Check around, as purchase prices will vary. For example, CashOldPhone.com offers to pay $48 for a Nokia 6102 camera-phone while CellForCash.com offers just $13 for the same phone. Some sites, including CellForCash.com, offer to match competitors' prices. You can generally sell phones that are up to four years old. However, "the 'sweet spot' for value is between one and two years," says Seth Heine, president of RIPMobile.com.

    Most sites issue check payments, but RIPMobile.com gives gift certificates to retailers including CircuitCity.com and Starbucks. Sprint Nextel customers using the company's sprintbuyback.com get credits on their accounts. On the Web sites, you can typically print out a postage-paid shipping label or request a postage-paid box. Drop your phone in the mail and wait about 30 days for your payment.

    Each site requires phones to power up, make a test call and have functioning features. Payments may be reduced for operational but cosmetically damaged phones. Make sure the service on the phone you send has been canceled and also delete your personal information. For instructions on how to erase your phone's memory, go to wirelessrecycling.com and click on "Phone Data Eraser."
