DENVER -- If you look around your home you most likely have an old electronic gadget in a drawer somewhere.

You now have the opportunity to dust them off and turn them in for cash. The Web site Gazelle.com will take the unwanted item, working or not, and send you cash, a gift card or you can donate the money to charity.

Several retailers including Sears, Wal-Mart and Costco have teamed up with Gazelle to allow sellers to receive gift cards instead of cash.

The way it works if you want a gift card is you log in to Gazelle from the retailer you want the gift card to, let's say Sears. Then enter detail about the item, in my case I tried an old LG Voyager phone. I answered some questions about its quality and available parts and I found I could get a $73 gift card.

I tried another phone, a Sanyo, and it was worth $128. The newer the item, the more it will be worth.

If you want a gift card to Wal-Mart or Costco you can do the same procedure from their Web site. By skipping the retailers you can log onto Gazelle directly and get a check for cash or even donate the money to charity.

One great part of the program is that Gazelle pays for the shipping of you old electronics item.

According to the Web site, there are on average 25 working and not working gadgets in every home. Gazelle accept both working and non-working electronics, although only those in working condition will be of value.
