What do you usually get for an iPhone if you put it on Craigslist? I once put an iPhone 4 on Craigslist for $150, I got so many responses it was like 5 texts per minute.
That's almost full price?An iPhone 5 16gb in mint condition...I'd say somewhere in the $500-$550 range.
When do you think the Sprint iphones are worth so much less?

I will say this, guys. Buyer beware when it comes to Craigslist. I'll relate to you one of my recent deals that went horribly wrong...
I bought a HTC One X+ from a known member on a cell trading site (I know him from XDA as well, so I knew he was reputable). I used the phone for a couple of weeks off and on and then decided to trade it to another member there for his iPhone 5 (plus some cash on my end). We make the trade, he gets the One X+ and as soon as he puts his sim in it, it tells him his account has been locked and the phone is blocked.
It turns out, while the phone was in transit to him, AT&T added it to their new blacklist. Why? Well, in my digging and talking to AT&T, it was originally stolen from an AT&T store in Wisconsin. The first owner (the first person on the trading forum that actually bought it) bought it from a guy that advertised it on Craigslist. About a week after selling it to the guy I bought it from, the first owner got a call from a detective asking if he had the phone. He told him he'd already sold it and the detective took some information about the Craigslist buyer he'd got it from and said he wasn't in any trouble but to let him know if he heard anything else about the phone. Unfortunately, the first buyer didn't pass this information along to the next guy and I ended up being the one still standing when the music stopped and the phone was added to the blacklist database.
AT&T refuses to unblock the phone and won't reimburse me for the cost. My only outlet now is to file a dispute with PayPal, which I don't want to do because I know the guy that sold it to me is legit and wasn't trying to deceive me. But, otherwise, I'm sitting here with a paperweight (the guy I traded with returned it to me and I bought his iPhone 5 outright).
The carriers and phone OEM's are trying to kill off the market for used phones by implementing this blacklist database. And they're doing a good job so far, because I'm probably done dealing with it.
