I know what you mean but it isn't quite a scam to you because you willingly sign 2 year contracts at a minimum of $80 a month. Many people aren't willing to do that and want an iPhone at $40 a month on their own plan. You're essentially paying $1,000 more (over 24 months) but don't notice the monthly cost, you only notice that you get to "make" $100 selling an older phone. While others pay $100 more but save $1,000 over the life of a 2 year contract.

Not saying your way is wrong or right. I need the unlimited data and texts so it makes sense for me to sign a 2 year contract.

Thanks for your reply. Your actually rather kind. I'll bet your great with old people and animals :)

But, I'm going to need a phone. I'm going to be on contract no matter what.

What, am I all of a sudden going to ask "Maybe ATT are thieves" ( like its possible they aren't ?

Point is: ......I don't know what the point is.

Anyway, I've got a new 5s! :p

----------

The phone is worth more money when not tied to a contract. There isn't any loophole to it.

You mean tied to a carrier?

It's not going to be tied to a contract ( although it's not unlocked)

The used price on the iPhone 4 32GB Amazon keeps going down. It was $224 last week and now it's at $200.

I'm thinking as soon as I get my new phone tonight I'll be listing the old one along with some accessories. Maybe I can get $220 if I'm lucky.

Edit: Should I request it to be unlocked from AT&T? Can I expect a bit more for it that way?
 
Can you guys update on going price right now, I am planing to sell my ignore 5 next week.
 
eBay:

Monday 9/16 sold

-AT&T 32GB iPhone 5 (Black) $729
-Sprint 16GB iPhone 5 (Black) $500

Today 9/22 sold

-AT&T 16GB iPhone 5 (Black) $530
 
I was able to sell my iPhone 5/White/32G/AT&T on CL for $450. The deal kind of made me laugh to myself because it essentially means I "rented" my iPhone 5 for 12 months for $99 ($549 for new 5S minus $450 for sold 5).
