Fellow techie Cat Schwartz has already given us the inside scoop on
how to properly clean your gadgets inside and out before putting them up on Ebay or Craigslist, but in order to get some serious inquiries, you gotta post a photo of your item as well. If you're like me, a photo can make or break a decision on buying something, cause if the photo is bad, what does that say about the seller (and their standards)?

About a month ago, I finally brushed the dust off my old gadgets and decided to get them in tip-top sellable condition for sites like Craigslist and eBay.

And who better to show us exactly how it's done than eBay's gadget and toy director, the fabulous and funny

Although people are starting to line up In New York City to ensure that they get their hands on the hotly-anticipated new iPhone 3G, the majority of you said
you wouldn't stand in line for a gadget. Therefore, I doubt any of you will be signing into eBay to bid on a place in line in San Francisco!
An eager seller is
starting the bidding at $5,000, and if you win, he or she will stand in line for you, holding your spot until right before the doors open and you pull cutsies to claim your spot and your new phone.

Although you might
lose some of your Firefox extensions when you cross over to Firefox 3 – and trust me, you're gonna want the newest version since it's faster and more secure – you can still download the same sweet extensions that Firefox is known for.
I happen to have a few eBay bids out on some
precious Polaroid film, and am watching others before I jump in. With the
Firefox eBay companion, I can see the stats on my bids right on my browser — without having to stop what I'm doing to log in.
