BuyMyTronics.com is a cool site name, and a very cool site that offers a fast and easy way to get cash for broken, new and used (even bricked!) iPhones and iPods.

One of the best things about the site is the super-quick process of getting an estimate for your busted-up (or just replaced-by-a-newer-and-shinier device) iPod or iPhone.  It’s literally three easy screens with handy drop-down lists and checkboxes – and you’ll have yourself an estimate in under a minute!

And they’ll accept a wide range of models in just about any condition:

We accept Classic, Touch, Video, Photo, Nano, Mini, 4th to 1st Generation iPods & iPhones. We don’t care if your iPod has a cracked screen, a busted hard drive, shows a sad face, has buttons that don’t work, is acting weird, is old and creepy, has water damage, or if the battery is dead. We will pay you top dollar for your unwanted iPod MP3 Player or iPhone guaranteed!

As a quick example, I could even get $131 for my 4gb iPhone – if it had a cracked screen and was returned with only itself and a USB cable!

The site has got a very favorable writeup from TechCrunch, has some great customer testimonials, and will be featured soon in MacLife magazine – so you can have a warmer, fuzzier feeling about dealing with these guys rather than taking your chances on eBay.

So here’s how it all works if you’ve got a lonely old gadget to trade in (links taken out – you’ll find them on the BuyMyTronics.com site of course):

1. Tell Us About Your iPod or iPhone. Click on the “Submit Your iPod" button and tell us about your iPod from the pull-down menus. Don’t know which iPod or iPhone you have? Click here to find out! Once you have entered the necessary information about your iPod or iPhone, you will be given an instant price quote. Click “Accept” to sell us your used, new or broken iPod or iPhone.
2. Ship Us Your iPod or iPhone. Fill in the shipping information sheet with the e-mail address or physical address where you would like your payment sent via Paypal or Check. Then ship the iPod or iPhone to us, following the provided Shipping Instructions (they will be emailed to you after you confirm.)
3. Get Paid – within 24 hours of receiving your iPod or iPhone, we will send payment to the PayPal address that you provided, or if you prefer, we will mail you a check. For more information on PayPal, click here. See our legal disclaimer for payment & pricing.

In case you’re curious about what happens to all the castaway devices – the broken iPods are sold in bulk to third parties or broken down for parts. Working iPods are refurbished and resold directly to resellers.

So … if you’ve got any old or unloved iPods or iPhones, head on over to BuyMyTronics.com and grab a little startup fund for your next cool device:
