Get more for your used iPod at Circuit City...: I got instant store credit for my used iPod at the Natick, MA Circuit City. The transaction was through a company called NextWorth. They gave me a lot more for my used iPods than what I found on these sites and there was no pre-purchase necessary.

Craigslist: How about using good old craigslist? What better way to recycle your stuff than to give/sell it to someone who is willing to use it :-)
