Which AT&T phone should I buy to sell

[Doboji]

Which current AT&T phone is going to fetch the most money right now?

I just picked up a SGSII and am going to be switching carriers from Verizon, in the process I will be selling my Fascinate and my Nexus One, I also get the opportunity to get a subsidized phone and sell that as well...

Thoughts?

Probably the iPhone 4 ...

iPhone probably? I know I'll be picking up a iPhone 5 to sell whenever they come out.

 

[Dulanic]

To sell? Iphone. People will pay insane pricing for Apple products. ~450 to 500.

 

[Doboji]

Problem with the iPhone is I have to spend $200 to get one to sell it for 500... Wouldn't one of the phones that I could pick up for free make more sense?

Its still 300 buck profit.

Get an Infuse... and then sell it to me.

But seriously, I'd go Infuse or iPhone 4. Both are basically the latest version of Android or iOS phones for AT&T, so those should be your highest selling phones. But you're going to have to look at the used market as a whole to see what phones are selling for what, and then find the largest return.

Iphone 4, 4sure!

IP4 aren't fetching $500 anymore.
More like $400 +/- $50.
Even if you sell one on Ebay for $500, selling cost is >$50.

I guessing you have to get one now since you are just signing up.
But the IP4 is still the best option.
What ATT phone is free right now ??

HP Veer is free through best buy, and most likely you can match it at your ATT store. You can easily get 200-250 for it.

I can get:

iPhone 4 16GB for $199
iPhone 4 32GB for $299
Moto Atrix for $49
Samsung Infuse for $119
Samsung Captivate for $0
HTC Inspire 4g for $0

Atrix. Check the recently completed listings for "New Atrix" -- basically $400 to $450.

Get the White AT&T iPhone 4. The 16GB model goes for $550+ on ebay. That is $350 profit.

Is that unlocked though? It might be worth considering that in the iphone's case the OP will have to go through the jailbreak and unlock process for maximum resale value. Maybe not though.

You don't have to jailbreak for it to be unlocked. Just get one of these:

Whatever the newest phone is view

 

[OBLAMA2009]

I can get:

iPhone 4 16GB for $199
iPhone 4 32GB for $299
Moto Atrix for $49
Samsung Infuse for $119
Samsung Captivate for $0
HTC Inspire 4g for $0

yeah maybe atrix. i dont know what you could sell it for or how sellable it is but probably a minimum of 300, and you wouldnt have to shell out 300 like you would for an iphone

the other thing you could do is advertise iphone and atrix on craigslist and see what kind of offers you get and buy after you get a deal there

Don't forget to factor in sales tax (if you're in a state with it).. Its calculated from the unsubsidized price.

Not from Amazon Wireless. (Even in NY, which passed an Amazon tax.)

Depends on the phone I guess. Amazon Wireless doesn't sell the iPhone if he were to go that route. Also, the Atrix is $150 from Amazon on my end.

Samsung Infuse for $119

I cant see anyone buying any of these phones for more than 200 bucks. I may be wrong but thats how I feel. At least with the iphone 4 you pretty much know you can sell it for 450+. At least for now.

 

[s44]

A one-minute ebay search, or a 30 second perusal of the thread, will prove the opposite.

 

[cheezy321]

iPhones always have better secondary resale value than the others. One of the perks of the phone, you can upgrade to the new generation for usually little to no cost.

 

[kaerflog]

Again, people forget to factor in the cost of selling on Ebay.
Guess you guys haven't sold on Ebay lately.
The minimum cost for selling on Ebay is 8%.
For $500 thats $40.
Add in $10 for shipping and around $15 for Paypal fee.
And unless you want to ship internationally, you will get the lower end sale value on your iPhones.

I was actually hoping to sell em through FS/FT....
