Every new year brings a new iPhone, iPod, iPad, Droid, Blackberry, and numerous other models of cell phones that leaves your old phone looking like a Motorola StarTAC.

When we purchase a new device, figuring out what to do with the old one has always been tricky. Until recently, your choices were generally limited to listing it on eBay or selling it locally on Craigslist.

There’s a new exciting option for selling your unneeded electronics, games, and videos. Glyde.com is simpler than ebay and less scary and frustrating then Craigslist. With Glyde, there are no pictures to take, descriptions to write, people to meet, or boxes and packing peanuts to track down.

“We believe buying and selling your things online should be easy, safe, and economical. Glyde is a new kind of marketplace that combines the great deals of a person-to-person online market with the ease of a retail store.” – Glyde.com

Glyde lets you easily buy and sell phones, tablets and eReaders, iPods, video games, DVDs, and Blu-rays. I bet that YOU have hundreds of dollars worth of electronics stuffed away in a drawer or closet!

Selling on Glyde couldn’t be simpler.

1. Go to Glyde.com

2. Start typing your item name into the search box. When you see your item, select it.

6. Once your item sells, Glyle sends you a prepaid, pre labeled shipping pouch. Just stick your item in the pouch and put back in your mailbox.

7. That’s it! The seller receives your item and as long as everything is described, you get paid. Glyde takes out a commission, just like eBay.

Plato’s Closet | Brand Name, Slightly Used Clothing on Consignment

March 27, 2011 By 6 Comments

platos closet storefront Platos Closet | Brand Name, Slightly Used Clothing on Consignment

While searching for a pair of shoes to fit one of our kid’s fast-growing feet, we recently had the opportunity to visit Plato’s Closet.   Plato’s Closet is a national franchise, with 6 locally owned consignment stores in the Orlando area.  We visited the one located at 2912 E. Colonial Drive in Orlando.

It was our first trip to a Plato’s closet and we were quite impressed. Not being sure what to expect, it was evident from our first step into the store that this was not your average used clothing store. Walking in the front doors, we were greeted with a friendly “hello” and a bright smile from behind the checkout counter, and we immediately noticed the huge collection and “up do date” styles.

We had come shopping for shoes, but each one of us in the family were quickly drawn to our respective racks looking for something in our size. You’ll find a hearty selection for both men and women of tops, jeans, shorts, t-shirts, shoes and accessories. Nearly everything was in style, and most items looked like the fashions you’d find currently on the racks at the mall.

Prices were fair and reasonable. You won’t find thrift store prices, but you can’t compare the selection to a thrift store either. At Plato’s Closet you’ll only find clean, name brand items in excellent condition on very well organized shelves and racks.

For high quality, hip clothes and accessories for teens and young adults, we think you should check out a Plato’s Closet near you!
