you would get more going to craigslist, but if you want hassle free sure. It is the most cash you will get from a website unless you want amazon money.
If I were eligible for a subsidized upgrade right now, yes, I would take the Gazelle deal! Sell for $400 and buy the 5 for $200; sounds like a deal to me.
If you try to sell ANYTHING that doesnt say Apple iPhone 5 after 4pm today.. you're in a losing battle. Take the $400. Because tomorrow that price WILL drop.
Be forewarned - I have friends that have sold their phones back to Gazelle. They sent in their phones thinking they would get the top value - in your case $400. A few days later, they were notified that their phones are in OKAY condition and is offered an amount significantly lower than the top number.

Just wanted to warn you. I've been looking at prices because my GF is going to sell her iPhone. GameStop prices aren't bad. You can bring in the phone today and get the top dollar.
AT&T :
16GB - $365 Credit $292 Cash
32GB - $375 Credit $300 Cash
64GB - $400 Credit $320 Cash

The last time I sold them a phone, they tried to low ball me so I threatened to post every blog I knew about how crooked they were being. An apology and the corrected quote were in their next email to me.
Since I only sent them a recently replaced/refurbished iPhone, I knew they had to correct it.

Seems like they do that to a lot of people. Because most people's mentality is .. well okay, It's already out of my hands now. so I guess i'll take the $XXX
The $320 cash isn't bad at GameStop. I'm going to take my GFs white 64GB 4S up there later today
I hope it doesnt change after the releaseNever tried Gazelle. I guess there are a few complaints?
I traded in other handsets a few years back via an eBay program. It was not auctioning, it was an electronics repurposing company -- like Gazelle -- that they partnered with. It went smoothly, and I received the appraised value of all of my devices. I wonder if eBay is still running this program...

Yes, you can. But there have been other people that have said they haven't received their phone back, and that it was a different one than originally sent. One in far worse condition.
Last time I tried Craigslist in my area, all I got wee people who wanted me to give it away. No one offered me much at all. And that was a flawless 3GS.
Basically. I got 410 for my 64gb 4s and im satisfied. Folks want 550,600. If you haven't gotten a bid now... you're about to e short. Cause at 1pm...watch
So you hold out. The key is to OVERPRICE it on Craigslist. You want it for $400? Price it at $450-$500.
If it's a mint/near mint phone, those prices aren't unreasonable. That's originally a $749 phone.
Just gotta know how to work the system man.
Really?? I posted above!

not with this iPhone 5, I doubt you will lost that much value, 400 isnt a bad offer from Gazelle
So here's my situation: I have a Black 64gb AT&T iPhone 4S that has a small crack on the front. I have the Best Buy Black Tie protection which gives me free replacements. I used it once before and the phone I got back was refurbished, but it was "flawless" as far cosmetics are concerned and worked perfectly. So I'm thinking about doing the same thing again and using the money towards an iPhone 5. As of 5:30ish pm right now they are still offering $400..... Input?? Thanks!
