So I got my 6+ in the mail on Friday (best smartphone I've ever had btw) and I'm ready to sell my 4S. It's a 16GB Verizon model in black in excellent condition - everything works fine. I'm seeing them sell for around $100 or so on eBay. And GameStop is offering me $99 for mine. Do you think it's worth $200 or should I just sell it for $100 cash to Gamestop?

Also I have another 4S I'm selling but the whole back of it is cracked from a drop but it functions fine. GameStop said they'll take it for $40 cash. That seems too low for a functioning 4S or should I do it?

----------

Or would it be better to sell it to Verizon for $200? But if I do that, I'm pretty sure they'll only give me credit back and not cash?

if you are still with Verizon, trade in 100% as it is like cash, it will pay your bill....

Yea I'm still with Verizon but I don't think Verizon offers cash for trade ins, just store credit.

And I'm on a family plan with my family. I'd rather just get cash and use it for my car as it needs maintenance.

You can use the credit same as cash as far as your bill is concerned. Trade em into Verizon (I've got $500 in bill credit on my account, so I'll be paying myself over the next few months).

you can use just like cash to cover your Verizon phone bill cost then what you save by not having to pay your bill, put toward your car

they will let you use it for your bill charges

Can I just walk into a Verizon store and give them the phone for $200 or do I have to mail it in? If I can just walk in then I'll probably go that route.

Also does anyone know how much I could get from Verizon for a 4S with a cracked back? Everything works fine but there are cracks in the back because of a drop.

you can walk in, bring both phones, make sure they are charged - leave a case on the 4S with crack - have the iPhone's ready open in settings, general + about - since you have family lines they should give you $200 each and then you can apply to your account to use to pay bills, good luck
