I'm talking Craigslist straight cash prices. eBay will almost always get you more than Craigslist.
Update, sold my phone today for $450, for some reason this weekend I got over a dozen emails and sold it in a couple of hours. Just be patient, I think there are a lot of buyers who see last years 5 as the same exact phone as what is being released Friday, but $350-$400 cheaper.

Even with eBay's cut? I know everyone worries about getting ripped off on CL, but a little bit of common sense and I've never felt the least bit worried, where with ebay, paypal and scammers ebay definitely makes me feel much more at risk.
1. eBay sucks
2. PayPal isn't reliable if ur the seller.
3. CL has no fees
CL is by far the best way to sell. With a little knowledge and a bit of common sense it's easy to see scammers from a mile away. I've sold a ton of things on CL and NEVER had a single issue. I establish a dialect with the person interested, we set up a final price, and we meet in a public place. We meet, he hands me money, I hand him product, we both check it out, shake hands and away we go. Simple.
And might I add to all sellers meet at a police station!!!
I was selling my iPhone 5 64gb white plus AppleCare. And we met at a carls jr.
He lifted up his shirt enough to show me that he had a gun and took of running with the iPhone "and I wiped find my iPhone from it because I was selling it" so i recommend now police station only!!!

Wow. I always carry a loaded 9 when I meet up. Police station parking lot is smart.
I was close to carrying but I don't have a CCW so I thought best not to.

P.S I'm in wonderful gun friendly California /sarcasm
Ha. My state requires no such thing. You can carry open or concealed. I just put it in a plastic holster on my hips like the cops do.
No guns in UK
From a UK perspective... Had to jump through hoops to get a fire arms certificate. Buy a gun safe bolted to a none wood wall. Not allowed to transport loaded. I lived about 12 miles outside Manchesters drug ridden Moss Side area.
Everytime there was a shooting...I expected the police at the door asking to see my weapon, the safe, and ammo log and receipts.
In the end I went to local police station to hand the certificate back. A desk pilot said i had to apply for a cancellation. I threw the certificate on his desk, said, I have your badge number...and walked out. Never heard anything about it after.
Guns " in transit" only allowed outside its safe when travelling to a gun club meeting night! Later after a mass killing in a Scottish school, The government banned all private owned guns outside official gun clubs.
The bandits kept theirs!

I can't manage to sell my iPhone 5 16gb at cl all the offers I am receiving are for $300. How did you guys sell your phones?
I'll give you $160 cash. Now that it has dropped so low in value, You should jump on that $300 dollar offer before it's too late.
That is ridiculous ! Glad I don't live there.
All these rules about guns....the law-abiding people follow them....the thugs could care less....making thugs better armed and have less resistance from the law-abiding guy with 4 locks on his gun, in a fire-proof safe, attached to the north wall-concrete or course, safe locked by dual retina scan.....since it is a Mac forum you can insert fingerprint scan) technology..
The common recommendation is to meet in a bank lobby. IMO that makes a lot more sense and is a lot easier to arrange than a police station.
Yeah, but after the shipping fee and the cut ebay takes, they're pretty damn close. CL is better unless the people in your town are only offering rock-bottom prices.
Unfortunately I think the iPhone is losing its popularity- there are just way too many other different phones out now.
This makes the most sense to me, honestly. Ebay just seems safer. That's just my opinion.
Maybe, but I sold mine yesterday for $450 after getting a ton of emails over thenweekend. I think people were waiting for the announcement.
I am sorry bro, similar thing happened when I recently went to sell a sealed ipad mini 32gb.
You always think after the fact would the dude be stupid enough to pull a gun in public over a 400-500$ item? but I guess it was meant to be and whatever cause I thought so many different scenarios
