I read an article a few months ago about Target paying people for their old electronics. At the time I called around and could not find any stores in Charlotte that took part in the program. I circled back this week and found out the Target on Metropolitan Ave. had recently started.
I dug out the old phones, iPod, a camera and more.
This is some of what I took.
Here's how it works: walk to the electronics department. Ask for someone who can help with the electronics recycling/trade-in program. They'll take your stuff to a computer and enter each item into the system to see if it has any value to them.
I went in with the impression that this was a recycling program and I may get a few dollars for each item. The guy at the store wasn't positive, but it seems like they are looking more for things that can be rehabbed.
At first, it was pretty disappointing. Target had no interest in my old router, Blackberry Curve or Samsung Instinct phone (that I, stupidly, bought the first day it came out).
Then we got the the iPod. It turned out to be neglected gold. The guy entered it in and I got a $34.51 Target gift card back.
It seemed the specific things they're looking for are phones, iPods, and iPads. If you have any relics lying around, I'd say it's worth a try.
