You can get so many things from Amazon that it's nearly as good as cash. Even if you spent the whole credit on laundry detergent, that's $400 worth of laundry detergent you won't have to buy. Not as fun as cold hard cash I guess, but hey, it's as good as money in the bank!
Got a tip for us?

Trade in 4S for $400 Amazon Credit or attempt to sell it for about 375 cash?

For my 32GB iPhone 4
Gazelle - $178
Amazon - $212
eBay instant - $235
Quoted both as good (not like new). Both quotes were after the iPhone 5 anouncement. I use Amazon enough that it's a better option for me. Still need to check out eBay instant sale.
eBay instant for the win

Theres a Krispy Kreme right next to our police station that I do all my Craigslist transactions at. I figure the proximity to the cops will make them think twice and absolutely NOBODY can run very far after eating one of their glazed donuts without feeling a bit "uncomfortable" down there.
$400 at amazon.
Would go through that in a week or two.
We buy just about everything from them, including some food

I posted my 4s 32Gb on my facebook page for 375 and had 3 emails from friends in 10 minutes. Sold it for 350 and a trade to use his 3gs until my Iphone 5 Arrives. Saved the posting time on Ebay and possible mugging from Craigslist.
You would be surprised who still just wants a 4s, the guy who bought it dropped his off a boat in Waikiki 2 weeks ago, so perfect timing.

If you buy a lot of stuff from Amazon and could use the credit there, then I can heartily recommend them. I sent my 32 GB iPhone 4S in to them last week with a condition of "Like New"; they accepted it and paid me $455. I'm off to get an iPhone 5 for a net cost of ~$100. (It helped that I had a friend who uses Amazon a lot more than I do, so we did the trade-in through his account, and he paid me cash once he got the credit deposited.)
I just wish UPS hadn't frakked up the delivery, so Amazon could have received it in time for the iPhone 5 preorders. As it stands now, I'll either have to wait, or try standing in line on Friday.
Incidentally, I have also had good experiences with Gazelle in the past, but nobody was offering anywhere near as much as Amazon was.
