What did you sell your iPhone for?

When you sell the iPhone do you need to include the orignal sim if it's unlocked? I am in the processes of selling mine and I dont know if I need to include it to be sold on ebay. Please help!
I know that it wasn't I would sold these phones, but it still encompasses the population...
Friend to friend - $210 (including case)
Friend to friend - $100 (for waiting 8.5 hours in line for him to get iPhone 3G)
Stranger to friend - $180 (8G w/ dents & scratches)
Person behind me in line - $400
Person in front of me in line - [Planned on selling it for $200 until he heard the person behind me]
People in my fraternity were also selling to brothers for $100 at one point...I guess the people I know/have met have been looking to make an extreme profit as of yet, lol.

I got $380 for my 10-month-old 8GB iPhone on eBay this past Tuesday. Not a bad deal, as I used my $100 Apple Store Credit towards the purchase of my new 16GB Black iPhone 3G.
$380 (Old iPhone) - $299 (New iPhone 3G) + $100 (Apple Store Credit) = $181 total profit
$380 (Old iPhone) - $299 (New iPhone 3G) + $100 (Apple Store Credit) = $181 total profit
Sold my 16GB for $280 to a friend. Way to low but I wanted him to have a 16GB since he wasn't able to find one. He bid on one on Ebay and the bid went over $600 so he got a great deal on mine. I am now selling a 8Gb for the same price, also maybe too low but I don't care.
I've sold two iPhones previously... back when the 16 GB model came out, I sold my launch-day 8 GB phone for $300 via Craigslist. And then just this past week, I sold my 16 GB iPhone for $300 to someone here on MR.
Nope, only paid $399 for the original iPhone back in September 2007: I bought the 4GB model one week before the price drop, and it had several dead pixels, so I returned it just after the new prices took effect. Since I had originally paid $499 for the 4GB phone, and now that the 8GB was only $399, the guy gave me $100 cash along with a new 8GB iPhone. Luckily, I kept the serial number of my old 4GB phone, so when Apple launched the $100 Credit program online, I figured I would give it a try and I got lucky -- It accepted my old phone's serial number and gave me a $100 store credit which I just used last week for the 3G.
So if you really want to go that far back, I've spent a total of $218 on iPhone hardware dating back to last September. For two amazing phones, definitely not a bad deal.
