You might try eBay if you want to get that much. Most folks on here will low-ball you, or just wait a few weeks to buy the iPhone 4. 6/11/2010 6:13:05 PM |

Leery of coughing up $200 or even $300 for yet another iPhone? Well, you can always sell your old iPhone on eBay. But there's another, potentially easier option: trading it in for cash. Some online trade-in sites offer up to $320 for iPhone hand-me-downs.
I checked out iPhone trade-in values at five of the most popular online gadget trade-in sites — Cell for Cash, FlipSwap, Gazelle, NextWorth and YouRenew — and found some pretty decent offers for all the previous (locked) iPhone models. In some cases the money would be enough to completely offset the cost of a new iPhone 4.
Of course, the price you'll get for your old iPhone depends on the condition it's in (mint? almost new? a little scuffed? cracked screen?) and whether you have the original accessories (namely the headset, the connector cable and the power adapter). Oh, and if your iPhone has suffered any water damage or doesn't quite turn on anymore, well ... good luck with that. Make sure to check with the trade-in site you pick to see what their policies are for phones that fall short of their wear-and-tear expectations: In some cases, a given service may not notify you if it lowers its offer for your phone, or won't give you the option of getting your phone back if you disagree with a lowered offer.
Even if your old iPhone is in mint condition, you'll have to be patient. Most trade-in sites will take days or weeks to cut you a check once they receive your old handset in the mail. Typically you send in your phone yourself. Some sites will send you a box for shipping, but then you'll extend your wait even further.
I checked the iPhone offers on each of the five sites, using the assumption that iPhones were in "good" shape (between "mint" and "fair" condition) when I had the choice. I also checked the "have cables and power adapters" box where applicable. Also, keep in mind that the prices I'm quoting here are subject to change daily (usually ever lower as time marches on).
The results: Across the five sites, a 32GB iPhone 3GS fetched an average of $274, just $26 less than the $299 two-year contract price for a new 32GB iPhone 4. Cell for Cash offered the highest price — $320 — but the site doesn't give you the option of indicating what shape your iPhone's in, so it's quite possible that an even gently used iPhone might get you less than that.
The average offer for a 16GB iPhone 3GS, meanwhile, was about $228.
What about the iPhone 3G from 2008? For the 16GB model, expect an offer in the vicinity of $150 (the highest offer, $186, again comes from Cell for Cash); the 8GB iPhone 3G might get you about $134, depending on the specific trade-in site.
Even the original iPhone will score you some cash: The 16GB version fetches an average of just over $100 (FlipSwap being the most generous at $114), and the 8GB iPhone yields a decent $81 average. Last but not least, the 4GB version will rake in an OK trade-in value of $67 or so (highest offer: $78, from YouRenew).
Wondering why you can (in some cases) trade in your phone for more than you paid for it? Well, keep in mind that the $299 price you paid for your iPhone 3GS last year was subsidized by AT&T, which recoups the cost through your monthly cell phone bill. The unsubsidized value of your phone is much higher — $699 in the case of the 32GB iPhone 3GS. Trade-in sites typically sell the working phones they receive to wireless resellers, which refurbish the used phones and put them back on the market. They may also strip a handset down and sell off its parts — or, in the case of a phone that's truly busted, divert it to a recycling program.
Oh, and one more thing: Be sure to wipe all your personal data off your iPhone before you trade it in. Most trade-in sites promise that they'll wipe your handset for you — but better safe than sorry. (To completely wipe your iPhone, tap "Settings" and then "Reset," then select "Erase All Content and Settings.")
