    radioshack

    Good for RadioShack. All 4400 stores are now drop-off locations for the company’s trade-in program, which sounds like a natural fit. Previous gadget trade-in programs generally involve sending your gear away to a random website where you just *know* that you will not get in return what the website advertises. Now you just head to your local ‘Shack and the associate determines the gadget’s value right away and hands you a gift card if you accept. Sounds like a good plan to us as every community has a RadioShack and everyone has old gadgets gathering dust that can now be used to buy new gear.

    Stores are now accepting:

    •  MP3 players
    • Mobile phones
    • Cameras
    • Camcorders
    • GPS receivers
    • Gaming Media
    • Gaming Consoles

    The website accepts all those plus:

    • HDTVs
    • Car Audio
    • Laptops
