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.

At the iPhone hacks section.
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.
