SmartphoneTradeIn.com: Smartphone Trade-Ins Can Cover Cost of 10 Top Holiday Toys
Smartphone Trade-ins Help Boost Budgets for Holiday Spending on Favorite Toys like Furby, Lego, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
MIRAMAR, Fla., Nov. 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- As the holiday shopping season approaches, many families are already starting to think about how they'll pay for it all. Retailers are rolling out promotions such as revamped layaway plans in an effort to help consumers budget for gifts, and to capture a share of the $750 that families are expected to spend. But instead of layaway or credit cards, Marc Leff, C.O.O. of SmartphoneTradeIn.com (www.smartphonetradein.com) suggests that consumers use old cell phones to pay for kids' wish lists.

"Many people might never think to trade in their old smartphones to help cover tight holiday budgets, but there is a huge, untapped cash value in these mobile devices, " said Leff.
