Upgrading from an older iPod model to the latest, most wonderful, and cutting edge iPod can be an expensive proposition. Plus, you’ve got a perfectly good iPod on your hands, so can you use that to your advantage to cut the cost of your new toy?
Sure you can!
While you can always try selling your old iPod on eBay or Craigslist or other similar places, some retailers have iPod trade on programs in place that credit you for the purchase of a new iPod when you trade them your old one.
These programs all have different terms, so be sure to read closely and ask questions before parting with your iPod, but this is a great way to get that new gadget and pay a bit less for it.
Here are links to a few sites with iPod trade in programs:
