How much did you sell your Iphone 3G to upgrade to 3GS?

I gave it to my sister and was going to get nothing out of it but she wanted a video camera without jailbreaking so she is going to give it back. Guess I will be getting some money out of it after all.
 
361 on ebay. for White 16 gig. I was going to upgrade to the new 16 gig, but none were in stock. a 40 dollar upgrade is worth it for me, but having the 32 is nice. Just a bit more money for that upgrade!
 
sold 1 white 16gb for $360 and a black 16gb for $360 as well. sold it last week on CL.
 
£300 ($495) for a 1 yr old black 16gb 3G with an applied screen protector. Cost me £9 ($15) to advertise it on Ebay, they took 10% final value fee of £30 ($50) and Paypal (which is owned by Ebay) took another £11 ($18) for allowing me to get paid. Ebay are sheisters! They charged me in total £50 ($82.50) to sell a phone!

So in the end I basically got £250 for the phone. It cost me £198 to terminate my contract and I got £52 off the new 3GS making it £222. So thats what it cost me to upgrade, £222. I hate Ebay! I can't begin to imagine how much money they must make if they made £50 just from me for one item! :mad:
 
8gb 3g on eBay for 305.00 I paid for shipping. It was plenty to get a 16gb 3gs and a new zagg screen protector.

50,000JYE (about $500) for a 16GB white 3G. I placed the ad (local English-language online + print, free classifieds) a week before the 3GS launched, so I beat the rush. :D

If you sold it as an auction item, you still have to pay a 10% Final Value Fee to eBay, no matter how the customer pays. :p

Bizarrely, listing as a Buy It Now item has lower fees than for an auction with technology products. :confused:
