    Looking at a new desktop today. I noted the store offered to "buy" used laptops from customers who purchased products from their store.

    Never passing up an opportunity to make or save a buck, I checked into it. NO, I wasn't gonna sell them the laptop. Was just curious.

    17" laptop, 500Gb hard drive, 4gig RAM, AMD Dual Core. Windows 7 Condition - Excellent, not a scratch anywhere.

    $12


    That's NOT a typo.

    They will turn around and sell it for $500-700, I think the pawn shop might give you a little more than $12

    The same deal is available for mobile phones too.

    One of my phones was worth $5.00....If I wanted to get the exact same phone new it is $249.00.

    Also checked on a new android phone I have, $70.00 buy back. Go buy it new for $349.00
