Swappa.com
You will get the best price there and more than likely a legit buyer. They charge a flat fee. I have sold quite a few on there.

For comparison wise to sell your phone, I would utilize ‘Swappa’ for the most accurate results in terms of the condition/storage/color of what the device is being sold for. But my own personal opinion on this matter, I _never_ sell my phones/Apple products online, in person is my own preference.
If I may ask, what is the reason behind that? Why Apple products in particular?
Swappa, or if you'd like a quick sale but less money, here. Meaning you'd get offers fast here but have to sell for very low.
I've always had good luck on Craigslist. I sold a 512 GB Max for $900 two weeks ago and I have another 512 also listed and got an offer for $800 last night. I think I'm gonna pull the ad though and just keep on using this second XS Max.
Guys just make sure if you get paid with an E-check on swap WAIT FOR IT TO ACTUALLY CLEAR
The scam on swappa is they pay you with an e-check and you get a notification you got paid and its all good! But unless you look in a specific place, you'll miss where it says that the check still needs to clear which takes 3-5 business days, or longer. Happened to me twice where people tried to buy my phone expecting and asking me to ship it ASAP hoping I wouldn't notice or care that it hadn't actually cleared yet.
I felt bad for sending the legit buyer an angry message when I noticed I got paid by E-Check for the 3rd time lol....but it worked out. I hatttteeee selling phones and dont want to deal with it anymore.
And make sure you meet at a super public place too. Last guy I was going to meet in person agreed to meet me in semi public places. I told him the police station was the only option. Thought it was funny he didn't try to haggle on price at all, and looked shady. After he agreed on a time and place 30 mins away, I went to message him back I was on my way and he blocked me. Turns out he and his gf were robbing people of phones after agreeing to meet up and buy them.
Be careful!
