I just bought a 64GB iPhone 5S on ebay. I got it for 820 Euros, original Apple price is 900 Euros. I could have gotten a 16GB 5s for 700 Euros on ebay instead (Apple price 700 Euros).

I don't need more than 16 gb of space actually. I could probably sell the 64GB phone that I bought without losing money and then buy a 16 gb instead.

What should I do? Sell the 64 GB phone now and get the 16 GB version or keep the 64GB phone and hope for a good resale value in a year or two?
 
If it's more than you need I would sell it now and pocket the extra money rather than waiting on a possible profit in the future.
 
If you need money now, then sale it now, if you don't then keep it.

Remember, 5S is in demand, if you can get a higher price for it, then you probably get a better value.
 
Capacity price differences do NOT hold in resale well at all. Just look at Gazelle or other sites buying iPhone 5's.
 
How do you accidentally buy a 64GB 5S instead of a 16GB?:confused:
Sounds like you bought it and changed your mind after.
Do whatever makes you happy. If you think the 16GB is enough then sell the 64GB and buy a 16GB.
