I would suggest selling your iPhone to BuyBackWorld. Gazelle is also reputable but will most likely offer you less.
Steps:
1. Buy up lots of used phones from these online stores for a reasonably cheap price.
2. Go outside a cell phone carrier store and watch for frustrated customers who need a phone.
3. Say the following phrase: "I've got somethin' that might interest ya."
4. Profit.
5. Return to these customers on a regular basis and ask, "Whaddaya buyin?"

Did someone already mention this?
"Verizon will pay consumers $100 for an iPhone 4 or 4S, $200 for an iPhone 5 or 5C, $300 for an iPhone 5S, $350 for an iPhone 6, and $400 for an iPhone 6 Plus. Customers with 32GB, 64GB or 128GB iPhones won't receive any more money than those trading in an entry-level 16GB model, however. The phones must be in working condition and customers must go into a Verizon store to get immediate credit for a trade-in."

Hard to beat these trade in prices.

I could never use one of those, too much loss. However I get the appeal for those who do not care about losing some money, can afford it and rather not spend a bit of time to get a bit more out of it.
Yep. Just sold an item and we settled on inside Safeway. One time I bought something at the mall etc...

With the "iPhone 6s" and "iPhone 6s Plus" expected to be announced at Apple's September 9th media event, and released a few weeks later, now is the time for prospective upgraders to begin exploring trade-in and resale options for their current iPhone or Android-based smartphone.
Getting the best value for your iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 5s or other current smartphone can help offset a significant portion of your next iPhone purchase, but resale and trade-in prices will drop significantly between now and the launch of new iPhones, so it is best to move fast.
MacRumors compared iPhone trade-in prices from various services using a 16GB iPhone 6 from AT&T as a baseline.
Trade-In Programs
Gazelle announced today that it is offering a Best Price Guarantee on iPhone 6, 6 Plus and 5s trade-ins until September 9th, promising to beat the trade-in values offered by Apple and carriers AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile.
Gazelle's Best Price Guarantee covers all storage sizes and colors and includes a 30-day grace period, meaning that you can lock in your trade-in price now and wait until you have your new iPhone before sending in your current one.
Average Price (16GB/AT&T): $301 (iPhone 6), $326 (iPhone 6 Plus), $166 (iPhone 5s)
Payment Method: Check by Mail, Amazon Gift Card, PayPal or Charitable Donation
Resale Method: Ship iPhone to Gazelle (Free)
NextWorth offers a similar trade-in service as Gazelle for the iPhone 4 through iPhone 6 Plus. NextWorth quotes are valid for 30 days, allowing you to lock in a trade-in price on your current iPhone and ship it after receiving your new iPhone.
NextWorth offers higher prices on average for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus than Gazelle, with trade-in values up to $480, although it depends on the specific model and condition of the smartphone. Completing a checklist about the condition of the smartphone is required.
Average Price (16GB/AT&T): $320 (iPhone 6), $360 (iPhone 6 Plus), $160 (iPhone 5s)
Payment Method: Check by Mail, Discover Prepaid Card, PayPal or Target Gift Card
Payment Process: Ship iPhone to NextWorth (Free)
Amazon runs a trade-in store where you can search for the iPhone model that you want to trade in and receive a price quote. After answering a few questions about the condition of the smartphone and entering your shipping address, you can print off a shipping label to mail the iPhone for free in exchange for an Amazon Gift Card.
Average Price (16GB/AT&T): $360 (iPhone 6), $389 (iPhone 6 Plus), $175 (iPhone 5s)
Payment Method: Amazon Gift Card
Payment Process: Ship iPhone to Amazon (Free)

The price is depending on where you sell. Probably the most money you would receive from Craigslist or eBay. Swappa is a good option but just like with eBay you never know what kind of person would buy your iPhone and then complain to PayPal. Last year I sold my Verizon iPhone 5s on CellCashier and I was offered about $30 more than I received on Gazelle and about $20 than NextWorth offer was, so it really depends where you sell. It pays off to shop around!
Steps:
1. Buy up lots of used phones from these online stores for a reasonably cheap price.
2. Go outside a cell phone carrier store and watch for frustrated customers who need a phone.
3. Say the following phrase: "I've got somethin' that might interest ya."
4. Profit.
5. Return to these customers on a regular basis and ask, "Whaddaya buyin?"
Whew, funny stuff. Also funny that its probably a sustainable buisness model(if you don't get caught)
I tried to sell my iPhone 5s on Amazon, eBay... But I didnt get an acceptable result. My friend sold his old iPhone 5 via http://klymen.com/catalog/apple-iphone-5/ and he has a new iPhone 6s now) I tried this service too. And now I have money for my new iPhone 6s Plus.
