Trade your old CDs and DVDs for a new hard drive, iPod, or even an iPhone, Rick Broida writes at his blog Cheapskate.
Here's deal: Pack your CDs or DVDs, then e-mail iPodMeister to let them know how many boxes you have.
The company then sends you prepaid FedEx labels, which cover the shipping costs.
The minimum is 150 discs. That entitles you to a 1 terabyte hard drive or a check covering the cost of an iPhone 3G (350 discs covers an iPhone 3GS).
Get an 8GB iPod Touch or 16GB iPod Nano for 250 discs.
"I'll admit that all this sounds a little too good to be true, but I've yet to find a single complaint about the company," Broida writes.
