Why did that one go for 510? I've been keeping my eye on them and they usually sell for about 400. Why did that sell for so much more? Because of the apple care?
I sold my iphone 4 for 750 and the first guy had zero feedback so I did a second chance offer with the second place bidder and it worked out pretty good. They have to buy it now and only ship to a confirmed paypal address.
Wow stop being a prick, if you looked at the time of the post and the time the auction ended it was 250 at the time. And some in the search results were up to 350. Never saw any, even the ones getting close that high.
Yea I haven't seen them go that high either amazingly (it was 250 when posted) it must've been that appleCare or something.

I don't mess with Ebay. Too many fees and whatnot, craigslist is better or at least I have had a better experience with it. I put my iPhone 3G on ebay about 2 weeks before the iPhone 4 came out and I got about 5 e-mails within the first 10 mins. I pretty much had my own auction going between about 10 people buying the phone. I told someone that $200 and you can have it done deal, so they did it and we met up at a safe location and the exchange was made. I would use craigslist over ebay any day. I hear a lot of people getting scammed through Ebay because they are protecting the buyer now over the seller.
Thats not true. Buyers have feedback its very easy to see if they are trustable.
Also I think the fees incurred on a iphone would be at a maximum of $5 (pretty sure).
Also 200 is too little for an iPhone 3G don't you think?

Earlier in the year I was getting upwards of $500 for it, but I saw in my town around 30 iPhones going up for sale. Some were 3G's and a lot were 3GS's going for mid 200's. I figured I needed to get it sold before the iPhone 4 came out because then I would take a real hit. I pretty much used a phone for 2 years and resold it for the same price I bought it at so I can't complain.
About ebay, http://pages.ebay.com/help/sell/fees.html that's a list of their fees. Most notably, their final value fee, 9% of the ending sale price up to a max of $50. So the max fee of $5 is not true.
Hm I see, I didn't they took a percentage (I've sold other things on ebay but usually i only saw a few bucks or dollars even when I sold my Wii so I always thought it was some flat rate.)
