Best way to sell old phone?

[pmark]

I have an older iphone (3g) that I want to get rid of. What is the best way to do that? I was thinking eBay, but wanted to see if there were other sites/services that would be better.

Try swappa as well. And craigslist.

Swappa. But it's not worth anything.

gazelle.com or Craigslist.

It's an Apple product.

Gazelle. Got $65 for my Moto Atrix 2 that I paid $50 for a year ago.

Swappa has Apple products as well.

Not sure if an iP3G is worth enough to justify it. Might be better to just wipe it and throw it in the recycle bin at Best Buy or whatever.

You mean that it's not for Swappa, or that it's worth something?

Neither is correct.

why not just craigslist?

Think they messed up the spec's on that. 😛 The 3G had a 400Mhz chip in it, not an 833Mhz part.

why? so best buy can then sell it on cowboom?

I typically use Craigslist, better luck there than eBay. Just gotta deal with the whole "might get robbed/stabbed" thing...

Insist on doing deals at the police station

For an old phone, you might as well see if the AT&T trade-in program is still running and get $100 gift card.

gazelle.com

Fuck craigslist. Too risky. There's no risk with gazelle.

Got $100 back for my 2 year old iPhone 3GS from gazelle

Craigslist, I usually make money on my phones and I don't have to worry about anything after the transaction. They meet me outside my gated community and that's the end of it. Just list it with gorgeous pictures and let the suckers beg via email.

I typically do them in the foyer of the bank near my office - its high traffic and, well, a bank, so it has good security.

I do my CraigList deals at the dining tables outside the Gelson's MArket near my house. Very high traffic and two security guards nearby.
