Gazelle makes Apple customers an offer they simply can’t refuse

Apple this year opened up an iPhone trade-in program which every competitor on the planet is now trying to top off. Take Gazelle, for instance. They’re ready to give you a million bucks if you choose their business.

Before you check your calendar to see if it’s April 1, I can tell you right now Gazelle’s not kidding. They’re enrolling everyone who sells an iPhone through them into this contest to win $1 million, which roughly translates into €740,000.

Gazelle’s announcement is reproduced below.

“When you sell your phone on gazelle.com, you win because you get cash. And it’s not unheard of that you’ll get $100, $200, even $300. Somebody else wins because they get your old phone, but it’s new to them, so that’s pretty neat.

“And to top it off, you will be entered to WIN $1 MILLION, just by selling your old phone. It’s that simple. It’s that win-win. It’s happening at gazelle.com.”

If you’re looking to get rid of your old iPhone, Gazelle’s offer is a no-brainer. Think about it. It’s not like the lottery, where pretty much the entire population is holding a ticket with blobs of sweat sliding down their temples.

Here, it’s just you and a bunch of other Apple fanatics, which translates into some pretty favorable odds.

There’s even a free method of entry through Facebook (described in the GAZELLIONAIRE SWEEPSTAKES OFFICIAL RULES).

But the good news stops here. In case you’re living elsewhere besides The States or the District of Columbia, you’re out of luck.

An additional tidbit before you leave – Gazelle doesn’t limit the contest eligibility to iPhone sales. You can bring any phone that they’re willing to buy, and that includes Android devices.

It isn’t clear whether the offer also extends to tablets, media players and computers – all covered by Gazelle’s trade-in program.
