How do I sell my old HTC Evo 3D phone (Sprint)?

I'm thinking about upgrading my current HTC Evo 3D phone to an iPhone 5. I know Sprint offers a trade-in credit for my phone (probably something low like $50), but I probably could get more money by selling it myself.

I'm curious though how I go about doing that. Let's say I do get the new iPhone from a Sprint store. They activate it and all's well. What will I need to do with my old HTC phone in order so that my information/login/data is erased and that the phone isn't tied to my phone #, etc? I know a factory erase/reset will be one thing to do.

Thanks for the help. I've never sold an old phone before.

I have the Evo 3D too. I been toying with upgrading/changing it to something different. I'm curious as to why you feel the iPhine 5 is better?

Sold mine for $100 to my coworker. Honestly, the evo3d is a good phone especially with a good custom rom on it. Try craigslist but you're going to get some mad lowballing though.

Looking around craigslist in Orlando, the Evo 3D is selling between $125-160.
Thats what the sellers are asking.
If your phone is in good shape I'd assume that you can get $125 for it.
You can get more on Ebay but there are a lot of fees involved.

Same boat here, going to the note 2. I'd be happy getting 75 for mine, it's fine shape but not sure what its worth...
