Damn. Mine has been on eBay for 4 days now and not even a bite. Mint condition black 16 gb Verizon not a scratch on her. Have the bid starting at $200. Is this too steep?

I have sold over 90 cell phones on eBay, you aren't sellling your phone because you are listing it wrong. I got $475 for my 16GB black.
1. Make you bid $0.99 with no reserve
2. 24hour auction so you iPhone is on the first 9 pages not page 742
3. Add a buy it now along with the auction for a bit more than your willing to sell (I did $500)
4. Use a good photo atleast 2 unless you have sold lots of electronics and have the feedback to back it up
5. Use Fedex or UPS. Never use USPS they lose packages and are out of the world expensive. I like Fedex home delivery.
6. Give free shipping, absorb the costs in your price. Offer shipping like this,
Fedex Home Delivery - Free -
Fedex Express Saver - $10
Fedex 2nd Day Air - $25
Fedex Standard Overnight - $40 or $35 depending on packaging.
7. Make sure to mention the warranty especially if you have/had Apple Care.
8. List any cases that come with it and say; ex. Free Otterbox Defender Case $50 dollar value mint condition.
9. Either don't accept international buyers or accept them. Just make sure to get international buyers to understand that you won't guarantee the iPhone and that international buyers will have to pay extra shipping costs.
10. Always say you ship out in one day. Even if you can't, because you could always print out the shipping label then drop it off on a future date. Just don't take 3 days if they paid for overnight.

You're so mean...j/k ;-) I sold mine to a relative who had her cell phone stolen and was using a phone with a cracked screen in the interim.
$150 for mint condition 16gb black with box and everything. I paid $15 to ship it to her so I netted $135.

Thanks for the tips man. But .99 with no reserve? That's seems kinda risky no?

I started doing this and never once have I gotten less than I felt what the item was worth, and usually I get more. Just make sure your listing is clean with good photos and in the proper category etc.
just changed my listing to .99 with a reserve of 200. 24 hour auction. didnt put a buy it now yet. got 6 bids in 5 min. im iffy about no reserve though, what if i only get say $100 for it? then im screwed, right?

I know it seems risky but it always works. I usually just watch the phone closely, but trust me by 8pm tonight you will have at-least 10 watchers and over 50 page views. Trust me you will get at-least $250 possibly in the $300-$400 hundreds by tomorrow morning. Remember that the most activity happens in the last 3 hours. Even in the last few minutes. Oh, don't forget to put in the description that you require payment within 72 hours (to limit buyers that don't have the money to pay now).
PS: If you aren't happy with the price in the end you always have the option to send a cancel transaction request. Thus canceling your transaction and giving you the option to relist or sell elsewhere.

Just curious... no one in this thread has mentioned what OS level their phones are on... it seems to me those who left their phones on an unlockable untethered jail break version would get more money then those on ios5, but who knows..
You are correct, you will get more money if you jailbreak and unlock. My friend jailbroke his iPhone 4 16GB and was on modem firmware/baseband 1.59.00 so he unlocked it. He got exactly $537 with $4.99 shipping.

Not risky at all cause it's going to sell. I just sold mine last week and shipped it on Friday morning after getting my 4S. Final sale price was $510 with $15 shipping. I started mine at .99 cents and listed it as a 24 auction. When it was all said and done, I had 56 bids with 32 people watching the auction.
damn, i dont think i will be that lucky, especially since the 4s in out now. i only have 7 watchers and 42 views. seems weak to me
I have 2 days left on mine on ebay and have no bites. Tried selling on craigslist for $275, but everyone flaked out.
