Best Buy Launches “Buy Back Program.”

This is a fantastic idea for early adopters and gadget freaks (like myself).  I’m almost guaranteed to jump on a new product or a new standard, sometimes before it’s even approved for the general public.  Meaning, if a new standard of HD video comes around (Blu-Ray) and I bought a DVD player a year ago, I’m basically out of luck and now I’ve got an “old” DVD player to dispose of.

Enter Best Buy’s “Buy Back Program”.  The electronics giant has introduced a new program that, for a price, assures that you’ll always get some money back from your OLD electronics (assuming you recycle them within two years).  And they take care of the whole recycling process.  You don’t need to worry if you’ve disposed of a Li-Ion battery correctly, or whether certain parts could be re-purposed, harvested for repairs, or handed down to a needy community.

In summary:   The Buy Back program encourages repeat business because consumers who bring back gear that they no longer want are paid with a Best Buy gift card.  Smart….for everyone.
