Supposedly there's some system where you have to scan your ID or something so they know who's selling, and then when that phone is reported stolen, they'll know?

I thought it was a great idea but yeah, that would be a huge problem. Unless you could somehow program it not to accept anything with no serial number/somehow connect it to a police database or something for stolen stuff? I DUNNO THIS PROBABLY WOULDN'T WORK. @t-square Ooof. I thought it was a great idea but yeah, that would be a huge problem.

People steal electronics and then sell them at the EcoATM. Granted it's not in a nice neighborhood, but I don't know anyone who has actually used it and there are reports all the time of stolen items being deposited. They may actually have removed it now, for that reason. There is an EcoATM here in Atlanta, downtown. People steal electronics and then sell them at the EcoATM.

On the other hand, banks charge you for using their own ATMs outside of business hours. And you can't take out money from other banks' ATMs. Argh.

I can't afford a new one so I'd like to get a used one but I don't really trust one from a random person. Since we don't *know* eachother, I guess you're still a random person, but you run a fantastic blog and seem like a great guy so let me know if/when it's for sale. :-) Mike Dang how much do you want to sell your ipod for?

It is the best ATM ever - if I know I'll be splitting a dinner bill, I will hit that ATM and get $39 so that I have exact change for my share.

Because I definitely am. (Older than you -- the ones v. fives must have been a regional/bank choice.) @mannequinhands I was going to say, is anyone else old enough to remember ATMs with $5s in them?

Best thing ever for a poor student. About half of my bank's ATMs in my city (Huntington Bank, Columbus) offer withdrawals in multiples of $10, which is SO good because sometimes you want $50, not $60.
