Lol, I highly doubt it. TMobile and Sprint varaiants of most phones actually have worse resale value because of their networks and the lower class customer base that is on them.
Got a tip for us?

Sprint and TMo sell their service to every possible person it can with mediocre credit. Basically scrounging for the scraps of VZW and AT&T because they don't have good enough credit to get service there.
Its a simple fact.
And what do you call AT&Ts prepaid? Anyone on earth can get it just like with Verizon.
You sir are the dumbest moron I have ever seen here like those morons who think Apple lowered itself by selling the phone at Walmart.
How do you feel about that?
The Sprint model sells cheaper than the rest but the T-Mobile model should sell for the same price as the ATT one.

Not exactly the case for iPhones, particularly the T Mobile one. Yes the Sprint iPhone generally has the lowest resale value but the t mobile aka GSM assuming unlocked will have as good of resale value as the unlocked AT&T iPhones.
The other thing tmobile doesn't talk about alot is that what you pay upfront isn't the whole cost of the phone - you still pay a phone fee for 24 months ($20, I think). You pay that even if you cancel tmobile service. So they aren't locking you into a contract for the service but you are paying the whole price for the phone over 2 years . It isn't cheaper it just is cheaper up front but after 2 years about the same.
Sprint and Verizon iPhones usually have the lowest resale value due to them being CDMA networks. The iPhone 5 is an exception for Verizon since its factory unlocked out of the box.
So with the iPhone 5 the Sprint version has by far the lowest resale value. You can barely even get $450 for a 32gb one on eBay already.
Tmobile and AT&T phones usually carry the highest resale value due to them being GSM.
Has nothing to do with "class" hahaha.
