Ready for that new iPod - how to monetize that old iPod

With Apple's launch this past week of a newly revised iPod line-up in time for the holidays I thought it was worthy of pointing out a couple of tips about your existing iPod. Given that you may be looking to upgrade your iPod here are some suggestions about what to do with your old one.

• Sell it on eBay or Craigslist. I have moved an old iPod on eBay and found that competition in this case for a fairly new iPod meant that I got a great price and didn't mind forking over the auction/listing fees to eBay. I'd only recommend this move if your iPod is a more desirable model
• Apple will give you a discount. "A free iPod recycling program, conducted through Apple’s retail stores, offers environmentally friendly disposal and a 10 percent discount on the purchase of a new iPod." see here for more details http://www.apple.com/environment/recycling/
  Unfortunately, If you're not buying through an Apple store then no discount but you can still get Apple to recycle your dead device which is a plus for our environment.
  
• Donate it to a friend or family member. In certain cases if the iPod is not in primo condition to eBay and doesn't have a dead battery or component (thus not worth handing back to Apple for a discount on your new iPod) then this may be a good option to consider.
  

Personally, I'll be using Apple's retail store discount when I upgrade to a iPod Touch since one of the Nano's that I have has a near dead battery.

Any other ideas on saving on your new iPod - leave them in the comments.
