Similar to offers we've seen from companies like Costco, the RadioShack Online Trade-In Program will swap your old gadgets for gift cards. You search their database for your gadget and offer the best quality assessment that you can, and they provide a mail-in sticker that you print. If all goes well, they'll send you a gift card 10-14 days after the unit is received. But remember, that's only if all goes well. So assuming worst case scenario, what are your totally broken gadgets worth?

3G iPod (10GB)
$3.23

1st Gen Zune
$5.81

Palm Treo 650
$3.69

Xbox 360 Premium
$9.65

DS Lite
$4.25

Wii
$15.85

PlayStation 3 (60GB)

Needless to say, if you've trashed all of your electronics, you may be able to unload them and score a few bucks in the process. [RadioShack]
