I have some 16gb iPhone 6 T-Mobile phones but really don't think I can do 16gb.
The iPhone 6 seems pretty easy to get though, so I don't even know if there's any value in trying to flip them?

Paid $702 for them... I'm assuming $800 would be the MAX I'd get on Craigslist.

I know on eBay, they're going for a little more but after the fees and shipping and hassle, I don't think eBay is worth it compared to cash from Craigslist.

Apple stores will be receiving new stock almost every day next week. I would be very surprised if you get more than $20-30 above the purchase price.
 
Is the 6 even worth anything other than retail? You can pretty much walk into any apple store and get it.

Tell that to all these people calling me on Craigslist lol. People are lazy.

I have a few $800 offers for the base model 6... I think I'll hop on it. $100 profit for a phone that is easy to get
 
I pre ordered a 6 and a 6+. I want the 6+ so instead of returning the 6 to Apple, I sold it on CL for $850. It's Tmo 64gb space gray. I pay $808 so I made $40 lol. Enough for me to get some case and screen protector
 
I have a 6+ base model 16gb I paid $810 for.... (T-Mobile)

This dude is offering me $920 for it. I guess I'll hop on it
 
Way too much risk on craigslist at times for such little profit. Most people are honest.

But you never know if someone is handing u fake $100 bills. Bring a money marker. Even a fake money marker will scare off the would be scammers if you tell them u will bring one to verify.
 
Wow...

the bad news? I don't have an iPhone for myself
the good news? I made $$$

That store pickup option at 2am was aweeeeeeeeeeeesome. :cool:
Gonna keep checking today


T-Mobile unlocked phones
  • 16gb Space Gray for $800 (paid $700)
  • 16gb Gold for $800 (paid $700)
  • 16gb Plus Space Gray for $1000 (paid $800)
 
I have 3 iphone 6+ coming.keep 1 for myself and sell the other 2. Hope I'll make around $150 each...
 
I sold three 6+ (all 64GB AT&T, two Gold, one Space Grey) for $1200 a pop before I even purchased the phones ($843 profit after tax; paid for my 64GB 6).

Where did you sell them? What do you mean by "after tax". Are you factoring in how much you would have to pay the IRS for these gains?
 
The market is somewhat saturated, but the Plus models are still going for over a grand on eBay... 16gb Plus mostly go for around $900-$1000 on Craigslist where you can get cash and not deal with shipping/fees/paypal BS. Considering they're about $808 after tax, it's not a bad way to make a quick hundred dollars I guess.
 
Resell value is pretty much done with by now. Definitely with the 6 but mostly so with the Plus as well.

Decided to get rid of my Plus 16gb models for $860 each to some guy who didn't want to deal with ordering online lol. $50 profit basically.

Can probably still make a little more on eBay/Swappa/etc... but fees, shipping, dealing with dishonest buyers is a turnoff.
 
I sold my 6 plus 64 GB T mobile today for $990. And that I already opened the box. I'd get a bit more than that of it was unopened .

Yeah it wasn't as good this year as the Gold 5S was last year. That one was a gold mine. I sold about 10 of them myself for nice profit. Apple did a much better job with supply this time around.
 
Anyone reselling? How much are you guys getting?

My Plus 64gb was sold 2 days after release on eBay... $1264

I used my wife's free upgrade and old iPhone 4 as trade bait to get the 6 for free
