So, new iP4, what do I do with my 3g?

[mavrick1903]

Title says it all. I've got an 8gig 3g sitting. what to do with it? any thoughts? I dont expect I'd get much to make it worth selling. Jailbreak just for kicks?

I sold mine to a girl for $100.

Sold mine on Kijiji for $220 - took a lot of the sting out of the cost of the iP4.

For me it has become a family iPod touch for when the iPad is in use.

1. Jailbreak.
2. Unlock.
3. Sell it.
4. Profit.

Sell it. You could get $200 for it. I just sold my 32GB 3GS for $450.

1. Jailbreak.

4. Profit.

By doing this, it will increase the price of it at almost $200. So you could sell it for about $300-$400.

Either pick up the original iPhone to complete your collection (one in every form factor) or JP/unlock and eBay it for a profit.

My iPhone 4 will be delivered in a few days and I want to take the good advice given above when I sell the 3G (jailbreak, unlock, etc...).

I have a question of the timing and mechanics of doing it correctly... I have no technical expertise when it comes to this so bear with me.

Is this how it would work in the order below?
So, my new 4 arrives in the mail. I then backup my 3G so that when I plug in the new 4 to iTunes I can restore from the last backup and that will be good to go.

After performing that last backup of the 3G do I then do the following in this order or am I missing something or have something out of order:
- reset the 3G in settings > general> reset> Erase all content and settings so that all my personal info is off the phone
- do the jailbreak and then the unlock on the 3G as per instructions
- remove the old sim card from the 3G since it is now ready for sale
- plug in the new iPhone 4 to iTunes and restore it from the backup I made
- Sell the 3G as a jailbroken and unlocked phone?

Thanks.

I've been using mine as a beater ipod touch. ifitness for the gym and sleep cycle at night. ideal since I don't really care if it falls and gets dinged up.

 

[miki66]

sold it

 

[Mike330R]

I'd like to sell my 8G 3G iPhone. It is currently JB but not unlocked.

What is the best way of selling? Restore to original and re-jailbreak?
How can I jailbreak if it does not have a working SIM card?

eBay or craigslist?
