$250 cash for an iPhone 4 32GB seem fair

johndallas999 · Nov 6, 2012, 09:14 AM

Selling my old one on craigslist, does this seem like a fair price or could I get more? It's in excellent shape with box, sync cable and power.

BFizzzle · Nov 6, 2012, 09:18 AM

seems to be the going rate here in austin. i wouldnt sell for anything less than $225
just like a zone of dro.

AHDuke99 · Nov 6, 2012, 09:35 AM

If it were still for sale it would retail for $550 brand new out of contract.

But granted it's used and the average user can initiate a contract for an iPhone 5 32Gb for $300, I'd say anything over $200 is fair.

Actually i've had 4-5 offers within a few hrs of people wanting to meet. That's why I was wondering if I should go higher. Guess that's a good price though.

I have it on eBay now. I listed it on CL for $300 but everyone wanted to give $200 or $225 so I said no thanks.

mzd · Nov 6, 2012, 10:09 AM

$250 is good. that is what i got for mine on ebay, but i then lost a nice chunk in fees.

An unlocked 4S is going for around $450 on ebay (32GB).

Mine isn't unlocked. It also has a hairline crack on the screen when it fell out of a golf card, so I don't expect to get nearly that. I tried selling it a while ago before the damage and still only got $345 for it jailbroken and unlocked. I must be doing something wrong.

bwhli · Nov 6, 2012, 11:07 AM

Sold mine for $260 a week after the 5 came out. $250 right now sounds pretty good to me.

ShuffleShot · Nov 6, 2012, 11:16 AM

I got $275 a week after the iPhone 5 came out.

$250 is solid.

It should go for a little more now than back then when you tried to sell it. The lowest point was around the beginning of October (right after iPhone 5 streeted). It's selling for $20 more now that the flurry of used 4S hitting the market has dried up a bit. I've purposely waited until this week to sell my 4S.

Authorized unlocked iPhones also go for a little more than Gevey-unlocked iPhones (about $25 more).

You'll also get higher prices through ebay than Craigslist due to the bidding war (especially if you sell internationally), although it becomes a wash after you factor in all the fees.

All these small factors contribute to factory/authorized unlocked 4S selling for ~$461 used (for 32GB as of today) on ebay.

Is it a GSM model? I listed my 32gb iphone 4 for $250 a few days ago and got plenty emails, but most thought it was GSM. Now that I changed the listing to say Verizon, I'm getting almost no inquiries D:

I don't sell internationally. Too many risks with getting scammed. I hope I get $300 or so, which will pay for my iPhone 5 fully, but since I dropped it I doubt I get that for it. I set the reserve for at least $200. I'm at $150 now with over a day left on the auction and the price usually just jumps in the last hour or so of bidding.

I sold mine for $310 Saturday on ebay.

Sold mine on CL in NJ for $230, it was perfect with all original accessories still factory wrapped in original box and unlocked by ATT. Got a lot of hits for $250 but only one followthrough at $230 YMMV.

I sold at 16GB for $250 2 days ago on Craigslist. Even had a knick in the corner and only came with the USB Cord/Charger

Reserve price should really be about $50 below the average sold price. Otherwise, the bidding war will less intense as bidders know how to game the reserve price system.

I sold an iPhone 4 16gb about a month and a half ago for 300.

antman2295 · Nov 6, 2012, 07:45 PM

Not sure how much but right now iPhone 4's 16GB are going for 200-250. I just sold my white 4S 16GB w/ applecare+ and a brand new screen protector and case for $350.

Yes, it's GSM. I met a buyer last night. 250 cash. He offered 200 but I told him I just listed it and had 10 people interested already so he paid full price. Best part is no Ebay fees!

mattroman246 · Nov 7, 2012, 11:03 AM

I'd price it at 250 and let them bargain you down to 225
