We try to hang on to technology a good long while! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-your-old-technology#post-1860888 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 18:19:08 +0000 BSB 1860888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We keep them until a few years down the rooad, we try to figure why we still have it. At that point, we donate/ ecycle or trash. </p> <p>Iphones we hold onto because we can use it as a backup. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-your-old-technology#post-1860875 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 18:10:25 +0000 Dandelion 1860875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Use until they're dead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-your-old-technology#post-1860860 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 17:52:20 +0000 ShootingStar 1860860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sell to Gazelle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-your-old-technology#post-1860847 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 17:33:37 +0000 emileee 1860847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I unlock my old phones and sell them on Gazelle.

In the past we've also donated them to local domestic violence shelters. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-your-old-technology#post-1860545 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 14:04:42 +0000 .twist. 1860545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We keep them. I think we have like... 5 old iPhones around the house. Yikes. I should really just recycle them or re-sell them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-your-old-technology#post-1860491 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 13:33:23 +0000 cmomma17 1860491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually upgrade and then sell (ebay first choice, craigslist or to a friend is second choice). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-your-old-technology#post-1860455 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 13:16:39 +0000 sunny 1860455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What do you do with your old technology?</p> <p>Do you use it until it is dead?<br /> Do you sell it when you decide to upgrade? (How/where -- ebay/CL/give away/other?)</p> <p>I tend to use computers until they are dead and then freecycle/recycle. Cameras, I will give them away to my brothers or mom &amp; dad since I usually have a better one than what they have. If I upgrade my phone, I sell the old one as soon as I can, usually on CL. </p>
