Those of us that got the upgrade to the 3GS have (or probably will) sold their iPhones. I'd be interested in how, and for how much you sold your 3G iphone for.
Click the poll too. Specify:


Your state (USA) or Country
Method (Craigslist, private local, ebay etc.)
Black or white
8 or 16GB
Sale $ (after ebay fees, shipping etc accounted for)

I'll Start

WA
ebay
White
16GB
$400
 
California
Craigslist
White
16GB
$415

This was a replacement phone from Apple, I only received it on Saturday so it was in perfect condition, and for the first time, I did not receive a refurbished replacement from Apple, it was new, manufactured week 20 2009 (no 5k serial). Solid it within a few hours of listing it.
 
16GB Black

Put up an auction on eBay but someone used the "Buy It Now" option and bought it for $455.
 
$450? Nice. I've been trying to sell my 3G 8GB for $350, but nobody is buying it. I listed it 3 times.

Got my 8GB 3G sold this morning for 320 to a guy a work.

Funny thing is i dropped it two days before I broke down and decided to get the 3G S. Cracked the screen on the side, and he still wanted it for 320 :)

btw I through in an extra PSP charger i had laying around that he needed.
I know, Im a nice guy.
 
I know it's not a 3G, but I sold my original iPhone 8GB for $150 on eBay. Pretty good considering it has a cracked screen, dents all down the rights side, and half a row of pixels is dead!
 
NY, buyer is in Denmark.
eBay auction with Buy It Now. Buyer used BIN.
Black
16GB
$375 BIN + $33 shipping (calculated). After fees I was left with something like $391.
 
i wasn't planning on upgrading into the 3gS, but i sold my white jailbroken 16gb iPhone 3g for $450 on craigslist so i really had nothing to lose :)
 
Sold my unlocked iPhone 3G 16 Black for $335 but the buyer flaked and said it was too much. :mad: DON'T BID ON AN ITEM IF YOU'RE NOT PLANNING TO PAY FOR IT. GRR

Anyway. It's up for sale again but so far no bids. It's at $250 and there's 1 1/2 days left.

I don't like Craigslist, are there other places where I could sell it?
