this might of been brought up by now in other threads.
this might be the wrong forum, its more of a selling advice post
i was trying to put out a story and i offered it to Tips at Mac Rumors , they never replied, so i wrote BGR, they never replied. so ill write it here. i wrote Gazelle and next worth challenging them on their prices. one company refused to answer my questions and closed my support ticket, and the other company gave me answer that was BS, they offered to send it to "their executive team to re-evaluate their pricing structure" and i told them if you don't fix this, I'm going to unbox therapy
when people sell their phones to these companies, they expect the companies not to give the same value that you could get for a private sale. but they don't expect them to give them a price that is totally unfair or rigged
I would like to remind the community, that there is only 2 models of the iPhone 6 phones.
there is a A1549 (GSM) and a A1549 (CDMA) and a A1522 (GSM) and a A1522 (CDMA)
A1549 is iphone 6
A1522 is Iphone 6+
both phones have working CDMA radios. the only difference now is sprint wants the spint handset.
where as Verizon has recently approved the other GSM handset.
back in 9/14 Verizon had no problems with the A1549 GSM handset as long as the Sim card you used was pulled from another handset. two weeks ago Verizon approved everything. and you can now activate a new line of service on any iPhone
the GSM ( with CDMA ) handset is referred to as the "T-mobile version"
this handset will work on AT&T , Verizon, and T-mobile with no degradation or incompatibility what so ever.
the CDMA handset ( with GSM) is referred to as the "SIM FREE Version"
this handset will work on Sprint, Verizon, T-mobile and At&t as with no degradation or incompatibility what so ever.
the only difference between each handset is the Carrier LOCK.
once you remove the carrier lock, every single iPhone 6 series phone is identical to every other iPhone 6 series phone. , except for sprint which i mentioned earlier.
last week around 9/2 Gazelle's prices were off the wall. and i called them out on it.
AT&T $346 , Sprint $361 T-mobile $383 , Verizon $476, UNLOCKED $365
if you fail to unlock your AT&T phone, then you are getting robbed of $130 , because AT&T is now considered a verizon iPhone.
AT&T no longer requires "customers" to unlock phones. if you forgot to ask AT&T to unlock your iPhone, gazelle can submit an unlock and just pocket the $130
like i said, the Verizon phone is basically the same phone as the unlocked one, but for some reason
the unlocked one that works on Verizon, AT&T and t-mobile and sprint is $111 less. despite the fact
that this phone is superior
so now the prices i got the other day was
verizon 385, unlocked 395 tmo 305 sprint 260 AT&T 375
ALL of these prices are price quotes for an T-mobile UNLOCKED iPhone 6 plus with 128 gb
so because your phone is a "sprint" one , your being RIPPED OFF $126 because your phone is locked.
an unlocked sprint phone is now a "verizon" phone. and Gazelle can't tell which phone is which
so the bottom line i want to make is if you are selling a T-Mobile or a Sprint handset to Gazelle or Next Worth, make sure you get your carrier unlock, and LIE to them and make sure you tell them that phone is an Verizon or AT&T phone to get the maximum price. except for the model # , they can't tell the difference between AT&T and T-mobile phones because its the exact same handset.
since Verizon has White listed all T-mobile unlocked phones or any other unlocked iPhone 6 2 weeks ago,
you can say any unlocked phone is an unlocked Verizon, and if they try to take $90 to $126 off your sale
you tell them you want your money back and they can F off
--
the iPhone 6s is different, they went back to Gsm on one and CDMA and GSM on the other . and one phone has 29 and one has 30, so when the iPhone 7 comes out, its back to normal
but for right now. don't let Gazelle RIP YOU OFF TWICE
please put my post everywhere and say it came from me,
