Topic: Trade in your smartphone for bitcoins (Read 749 times)
Good idea. If only my old iphone 2g's were accepted!
Our BTC/USD rates come from Mt.Gox
Where do you pull your BTC/USD rates from?
Unfortunately all of those phones fall under the minimum value threshold we have set, we can't cover our shipping costs with those devices.
I looked up a few random phones from curiosity - specifically, the Samsung Galaxy S Fascinate, Focus, and Motorola Droid - and all gave me a value of 0.00000. Is this a bug, or does nobody want 3-year-old crap 
EDIT: Yeah, most older phones seem to have a value of 0. The newest thing I could find is the Galaxy Nexus, and that netted ~0.6 BTC. I would imagine newer, popular phones (atleast) would be listed, like the Galaxy S III and HTC One X. Furthermore, there's no change in value from "good" and "flawless".
Otherwise, I like where this is going. A few kinks worked out, and it would be sweet.

Hey guys, we'd like to invite the Bitcoin talk community to join the beta launch of our new service: Bitcoincycling.
We pay our customers in bitcoin for used smartphones and send pre-paid mailers. We're hoping to upgrade the site within the next four weeks to allow customers to recycle even more devices, but wanted to get the word out about our beta first. We're always looking for feedback so let us know what we can improve.
If you have an old smartphone laying around and want some shiny new bitcoin, check it out http://traade.co/coinsy.php.
Thanks!
