Considering selling my iPhone 4 that has quite a few faults.

It's unlocked, 2 years old & 32 gig. (refurb model from apple) but...

  • The camera lens is cracked, meaning ghost artefacts appear on snaps
  • The lock button doesn't work
  • The home button doesn't work properly
  • The screen has a yellow tint in one of the corners
  • Battery life sucks

How much should I consider selling it for online, in prep for the iPhone 5S, ps I'm the UK, so suggestions in £ are preferred ;)

I sold an iPhone 4 16GB for 140. Euro - 105.21.

The lock button didnt work, cracked screen, and some yellow tint but not a lot. Good luck!

Damn not bad, so maybe I could aim to sell it for around £105 something like that then.

We traded in my Fiancee's 4S with 02...No quibble about condition, just asked if it worked...result? £170.00/ Saved us the hassle of hunting out a buyer.

The phone had a couple of small marks on it, no box or anything..just the phone.

I think Mazuma do a similar thing...With either of these options, and assuming your phone still works, maybe £50-£100 trade in...It's going to be a lot easier than finding a private buyer.

Trade in with 02, means I assume you would have to be an 02 customer?

Even in "poor" state it sells for a decent amount of cash.... May be worth taking a look? Usually they will lower the price slightly after examining though.


Their guide:

Mint – Phone in as new/mint condition with charger, original box and all accessories.
Good - Working phone in good condition with slight cosmetic blemishes. Charger supplied. Missing one or two accessories or original box.
Poor - Phone in poor cosmetic condition. Charger supplied but missing accessories and packaging.
Non-working – Phone intact, not crushed or snapped in half. Non-working examples: dead, cracked, broken/bleeding LCD (screen), not powering up, speaker/mic faults, broken aerial, etc. No accessories required.

Ah thanks that really is a decent amount. Hmm wouldn't really want to give up my charger though, can never have enough of those plugs or cables, but I do still have the box and everything else associated with it. might pop into my local CEX in that case then.

Yours is also 32GB, is there a Craigslist or something similar where you are?

Yes they have Craiglist in London, do you have any idea how that compares to gumtree?
