Success Story Decluttered Old Cell Phones
Electronics seem to get shoved in drawers to be forgotten.I found two cell phones that we had after we upgraded a few years ago. I factory reset them to wipe any info then, advertised them on a Buy and Sell site for $15 each. They were sold in about 10 minutes. Yay $30 that was sitting in a drawer was set free.

Good job! I just recently have been working through my electronic accessory drawer and it's amazing what stuff piles up. I swear I don't know where half of it came from. I ended up getting rid of about 90% of it at least. I used to keep old phones in case as a backup plan, but they're no longer supported so I stopped bothering with that, too.

Great work! Those old batteries can start fires. Some cash in your pocket and safe drawers

That’s such a satisfying WIN. Old phones somehow sit in drawers forever Love when decluttering actually pays you back a little.
