So I know a few years back AT&T finally started offering to unlock phones that were fully paid and out of contract.

I ordered a new iPhone 5c this morning, and after I pick it up later today I intend on listing my iPhone on Amazon for sale.

Will I have a better chance of selling it if it's unlocked? Can I get more for it if it's unlocked? Or should I just leave it tied to AT&T as is?

Thanks.
 
It could add some value to the phone. Any time I've sold an iPhone, and unlocked it, I got more offers because it appeals to people that buy phones here and send them to other countries (or at least that is what the Indian and Asian communities around my college do).
