Best Buy is known for hosting trade-in deals on single items and devices, but now the big box retailer is announcing that it's offering deals on a whole host of tech gadgets -- from mobile devices to tablets to accessories.
Starting Friday and going through Sunday, Best Buy will double the trade-in value of most mobile devices. What this means is that anybody eligible for an upgrade can bring in their working non-cracked cell phone and the retailer will give them double the phone's value to buy a new smartphone with a two-year contract from Verizon, AT&T, or Sprint.
Other mobile offers include the opportunity to pre-order the 16 GB Motorola X on Verizon and receiving $100 off Apple's 32GB iPhone 5 through the month of August with a two-year contract on Sprint.

Starting August 11, any student who registers at Best Buy with an .edu e-mail address can get $100 off Apple MacBooks, $200 off the 13.3" Lenovo Yoga Convertible Ultrabook, 20 percent off Speck smartphone cases, and more. The back-to-school sales last through September 14.
Best Buy has hosted a handful of sales this summer. In June, it offered two separate iPhone-specific trade-in sales; and in July, it gave customers $200 off of MacBooks and also offered aniPad trade-in promotion. These deals seem to prove popular with Best Buy consumers. The company revealed that it saw the single biggest day for its trade-in business during the June iPhone promotion.
