verizon was gona give me $100 for my iphone 4 16gb white, i declined and will try to cl it for a little more than that.
I went to Best Buy and they offered me $148 for my 4s 
Politely said "no thank you" and will simply send it to Gazelle by Oct 15th for $225.

The saleswoman at the AT&T store offered me a $400 Beats by Dre Bluetooth speaker for my iPhone 5.
I said no, and hope to make a bit more than $400 selling it on eBay.

Went to Target and asked how much they would give me for my iphone 4s 16gb, got offered $173, so keeping it for now.
Getting £170 (just over $270) from a phone recycling company for my 4S. Could possibly get a bit more on ebay, but minus their commission / paypal / hassle I'm happy enough.
Damn it! They gave me the same price for my 32GB 4S. But thats ok. I stil got a 32GB 5C for only $6 out of pocket after that.
That's the problem with the in-store trade ins, they don't or barely take into consideration the capacity. But they will charge you $100 more for the new phone with the next capacity higher.
Verizon offered me $325 for my 32GB Black/Slate iP5. I declined and just sold it on eBay for $460.
$460 eBay is,net of $400-415 after fees and shipping?

Agreed. Time is money. My plastic surgeon buddy did amazon trade in cause its not worth his time to try to get an extra $50 from eBay or Craigslist.
Depends on your hobby. We anesthesia guys have a lot more time on our hands. I like selling on Craigslist. I get a thrill out of it. Even though my wife thinks I may get killed doing these deals. I do always meet in public place.
I absolutely hate dealing with Craig's list people . I rather give my old phone to someone less fortunate .
The buyer paid the shipping cost. The phone originally cost me $300 so I made around $130 profit on that phone.
Let us not forget another advantage of trading in is that you get to keep your charger, cables and headphones. The cost of replacement cables ain't trivial. It's like getting a spare for free.
eBay takes 10% of the sale, then you have shipping charges and you don't keep your cables and headphones. I don't need that hassle. Plus I don't want to have some 72% buyer rated knucklehead win it and file a dispute that it arrived all scuffed up.
Verizon gave me $360 for my iPhone 5 64gig and I'm fine with that.

Trade in? No way. I'll keep my 32GB 3GS as a backup. Should something happen to my 5c I'll be back in business after a quick trip to an AT&T store. I also have a 3G that was the backup to the 3GS.
We traded in my Fiancee's 4S directly to our carrier (O2) here in the UK. The phone cost her £100, had a few marks on the screen, but was working fine. They sent a prepaid packing box, wanted no cables, charger or earbuds, and gave us £170.00 for it.
Now just have to sell my pristine 5 complete with AC and I've nearly financed my new 5S!

I had an iPhone f5 and I traded mine in at the AT&T store and received a $320 value. Mine was the white 64 gig model
On Launch Day, wandered into the AT&T store and they offered me $310.00 for my 32 GB iPhone 5..... Done deal and I walked out with a 64 GB iPhone 5S. Happy camper here. No fuss, no muss. And, yes, it was nice to be able to keep my Lightning cable, earbuds and so on, too.
