This is an interesting bit of news I just read in Frank Barnako's column on CBS Marketwatch.

Circuit City is testing 10 Ebay reseller centers where you can drop off your used electronics to sell on Ebay. Circuit City will then photograph and list the item on their Ebay "Trading Post" site for a fee of not less than 25% of the sale price. Apparently Circuit City has a lot of extra space in their stores since they recently dropped major appliances.

Of course, the idea of an Ebay drop point is not new. I know of a number of small shops that will do the same just here in the SLC. But, this is the first time I've heard of a large retailer doing the same.
