What's the going rate for a slightly broken iPhone 5?

[dmw16]

I upgraded to a 5s the other day so now I'm going to move my iPhone 5 along.

It is in decent shape with some dings and scrapes in the anodizing. The screen has some fine scratches but nothing major. The only real issue with it is the lock button doesn't work reliably. I imagine someone crafty could fix/replace it but that's not me.

I was going to just Gazzell it, but I'm sure they are going to get it and then send me an offer lower than the initial $240 offer.

What is the going rate on eBay? I have the box, fresh power cable, fresh wall plug, and (if it would net extra money) the headphones (all just carry over from the 5s).

Is it worth trying to sell it on here or eBay?

Definitely worth selling on CL, ebay, or swappa. Gazelle is a rip off.

Swappa being the preferred method.
ebay fees are too high.
CL is scammers and have to watch for fake bills, lowballers, and no shows.

A broken button is a cheap/easy fix. It is very common for the home button on an iphone to become broken. I think they sell replacement ones for $5 on ebay and there are disassembly videos everywhere.

If you are on ATT, request a free unlock code for it. Easy extra $50-75 in resale value added to it.

And last, ebay can show you completed auctions and how much they went for...

Thanks. Never heard of swappa, I'll check it out. It's actually the lock button, but that's probably not a real difference.
