They seem to think that 16GB will still be offered and there will not be a 128GB model.

They're guessing - conservatively.

Who is crazy enough to trade them in for such a low price? Ebay it if you have to. You'll get 3x that amount...

Gamestop is a rip off!! You can find way better deals on games from Amazon, Walmart, Target, etc. I honestly dont know how they stay in business.

GameStop offered me more for my iPad 3 than gazelle was willing to go. And f Craig's list have no time for that.

They actually sell them in store.

For about $150+
Ah, capitalism

Thats for a phone that looks like it just came out of a brand new box. How man fives will be in that condition after being used.

Refurbish and resell.

Just seems like there would be a inane amount of people selling before a new release. Do they really sell that many previous generation phones? I guess I'm just different than other people. It blows my mind when people get the iPhone 4 today. It's that much closer to being "outdated." When I purchase items I'm concerned with longevity. Ironically, I get a new phone each year but in regard to a phone I'm concerned with maximizing resell value.
