College Kids Not Only Break the Bank but Also Break Their Phones – Win $500! from Gazelle
Have you ever suffered the horrible sinking feeling in your stomach when your phone flies out of your hand and splashes into the toilet or smashes to pieces on the ground? Well. you’re not alone. I have been through that not once but TWICE!
Once it was my 3 months old nokia n900 and the other was with Samsung S2, 6 months old. With nokia I didn’t have to pay much to get it fixed but for the Samsung I had to pay almost the same price as the new one because of all the tech involved in the screen, the gorilla glass and all. So it was devastating.
But don’t worry you guys I’ve got your back. Introducing you to Gazelle, the leading consumer electronics trade-in site, announced its annual Klutziest Places in America list.
