No, I won't. verizon allows to cancel within 14 days. I am switching over to AT&T.

What are iphone 5 16gb verizon going for?
You can return the phone and cancel the 2 year agreement within 14 days, you can sell the phone and pay the etf or you can sell the phone and keep service for two years.
Verizon paid $350 toward your phone, one way or the other they are going to recover that money.
Perfect. That's what I was wondering. So $350 is what they want. That'd be fine if this phone is selling for $850 in the market right now?!
What do you guys recommend? Should I try to sell it for more or just return it? I just cancelled the service and ported my number to AT&T.

If they have already changed your plans, then no. If you have another line with unlimited plan, yes.

Return the phone. Too much hassle and risk trying to make a $100-200 profit. Your cost basis is $199 or ($299/399) plus $30 upgrade fee plus taxes plus $350 ETF. So you are talking around $600 for base 16Gb iPhone 5.What do you guys recommend? Should I try to sell it for more or just return it?

If you sell it. Domestically doubt anyone will pay more than $650 for Verizon 16gb iPhone 5. Cause they can just order it for $650 full price themselves plus taxes plus have built in credit card protection warranty.
Now if you want to risk eBay and ship internationally. You could make a $200 profit. But remember eBay/PayPal amd shipping fees international. This also can erode your profit margin.
That's the logical approach.
Anyone in the US can get one for $650 plus tax. You want to sell it for $850 on ebay you can risk taking a loss with a scam or getting lost or stolen in the mail, then the ebay and paypal charges will eat big into your $150-200 profit margin etc..
If you have the time and the patience go for it.
Then do that. Clearly you know the answer so why start a thread?No, I won't. verizon allows to cancel within 14 days. I am switching over to AT&T.
