Some people don't realize this, but if you trade in your phone at BBY, you can use the gift card to buy a visa gift card for 5 bucks. I sold my i5 there a few months back and they gave $480 on a BBY gift card after my trade in plus (they were getting about $550 unlocked on ebay at the time). The max for the Visa gift card was $500, so my net was $475.
 
I sold an 8gb AT&T iphone 4 two days ago at Game Stop and walked out with $136.60 cash!

I bought that phone for $50 a month ago...
I went and bought an iphone 5 for $79 at Walmart ...
Free phone for my daughter and a free lunch for me :D
(She didn't want the 5C)

Gamestop is probably the best physical store to trade in your phone at. They certainly will give you more cash than BestBuy, possibly more than the Apple store also.
 
I think I'm going to try this next Friday and see what my results will be. I want to get a iPhone 5S. I wanted to try Best Buy but I'm figuring that GameStop will give me more in return.
