I had given it some thought and after being sure that I was gonna sign a two year contract with the 5s, I've read that a lot of 5 users are having trouble selling their phones for a decent price. Since it is a buyer's market, I was thinking of just picking up a used 5 for as cheap as possible and saving the 2 year contract for the 6. Is anyone else thinking of doing this?

Are you in the U.S.?

ATT allows early upgrades. So if you really wanted to get on the 6, 7, 8 cycle you could simply upgrade to the 5S, then 1 year from now sell your phone and use the profit to pay the $450 for the early upgrade.
