People have been conditioned by marketing to want brand-new electronics. But part of this is a delusion -- we're already getting used products. Carriers already sell "refurbished" phones. Often, when a manufacturer replaces a damaged unit, it sends you a "used" phone. These devices tend to work exactly like new ones. It's just an idea we need to get used to. It would help if the environmental groups pushed this notion. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://articles.directorym.com/E_Waste_Mistakes_Garden_Grove_CA-r1132238-Garden_Grove_CA.html"><P>1. Always look for maximum resale value when you buy (and force manufacturers to make longer-lasting products). Upgrade frequently.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://articles.directorym.com/E_Waste_Mistakes_Garden_Grove_CA-r1132238-Garden_Grove_CA.html"><P>2. Always consider buying used instead of new. Become skilled at monitoring the auction and classified ad sites for deals. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://articles.directorym.com/E_Waste_Mistakes_Garden_Grove_CA-r1132238-Garden_Grove_CA.html"><P>4.
