Just got $420 for my 5s on eBay after Gazelle only offered me $305. I will ship it insured with signature required and take a video of me shipping it. The more proof you provide, the better protected you are.

How much is the insurance and do you remove the sim before shipping?
 
I think I'm going to trade my phone into Apple. I got an estimate that was higher than Gazelle.
 
EBay or Amazon Sellers. Amazon has lower total fee percentage, but will take 3 weeks for your funds to be released.
 
Not bad. Thats for the regular 5 and not the S, right?

That is correct. That is also with a degrading battery (made known in the listing) but is eligible for a free battery from Apple (also listed in listing). So not sure if the free new battery available would have pushed it a little higher or the unlocked, or maybe a little of both. I was actually shocked it went for that much. I was expecting around $200

You do a straight buy it now or auction? Selling mine this weekend.
 
Gazelle and all those other services are for lazy chumps. They turn around and toss it right onto ebay. It takes them 5 minutes each phone on ebay and they make hundreds more than what they gave to you.
