In preparation for the new iPhone, many people including me will be selling off their old phones. How much $ would you be happy with?
 
$450 or less is winning with 100% woooooohoooooo

I will be swapping mine out for a new one for cracks and dust before my one year is up so Ill of course try and get more for a NIB refurb but I'd be happy with $450.

Gonna be lots out there so price will drop but no biggie, Ill have my new i and I'll be loving it.
 
The real question for me (and for a lot of people since it's the people who bought the 3G that the contract is up), is if my 3G is going to be worth enough to actually bother selling? (Mine in particular since while the screen is still unscratched and the back is still somewhat shiney, it's got a crack in the back. Works fine. The crack only appeared like at most a month ago. Not sure anyone will pay all that much for a 2 year old iphone that isn't even pristine).
 
If I wanted the new iPhone I would just save up my money and switch to another upgrade line. It's too complicated to worry about selling it.
 
i think the options of this poll need to be adjusted...

imo 450 is probably all were going to get.
 
My 3Gs has been in a case since day 1, and I plan on unlocking after I get the 4th Gen phone to increase the value

so I say I might get $470+ looking at the prices on eBay
 
It really depends on whether it's a 16 GB or 32 GB model. I think a jailbroken and unlocked 3GS 32 GB will go for about $500, a 16 GB for about $400.
 
Nah

I have no plans on selling my 16GB 3GS as I just bought it.

My old POS phone died recently and on reading that 3GS phones would support OS4 when it comes out, was very happy to commit for 2 years. It wasn't long ago that the 3GS was the duck's nuts and everyone was going ga-ga about how wonderful it was. Now, people seem to be going ga-ga about what the new 4G will be able to do with its 5 megapixel camera, forward facing video camera and so on but for me the 3GS is just fine.

So - no sale!
