Amazon Takes on eBay - with Trade In

It seems that eBay is under assault from both Best Buy and now Amazon. 

Best Buy says they will buy back your device which they sold to you... though they give you far less than it is worth. 

However Amazon is now offering a buy back program which is pretty damn simple (due to their deep running contract with UPS, which handles their shipping and returns) - you print of a UPS label, ship the device to them, and then get an Amazon gift card.

Still seems that for those who know how, eBay is the better option - but for those just looking to stop their stuff from shuffling towards obsolescence in the bottom desk drawer - this could be a good option.

I think it could be fun and informative while greatly reducing the number of accidents (especially fatal ones) on the roads every year. Right now, the driving exam is basically a joke, it means that you know what the pedals...
