iPhone 15 Pro Why am I getting almost no responses trying to sell my iPhone 15 Pro 512GB?

[MK25toLife]

Been trying to sell my mint condition, unlocked, iPhone 15 Pro 512GB 90% battery on FB Marketplace and CL in a big city and am getting almost no responses. At this point, I would be ok with selling for $650. Note, two years ago I sold a 13 Pro 256GB for $675. Trying to better understand the market. Usually I would get a ton of low ball offers, this time hardly getting any at all.

Is it b/c it's a 512GB and most people don't need that much storage?
Is it the economy?

It’s probably because the regular 17 is so amazing and only 799 without any carrier deals

Supply and demand. You might also try Swappa, I've had good luck there before. But at the end of the day, you might have to lower the price a bit. Also, a lot of people don't need that much storage, so they're not willing to pay a premium for more storage just b/c it's there.

That's odd... I listed my wife's 14PM 512gb on FB market and got so many messages and offers that I couldn't keep up. In the end I sold it for my asking price, as I turned away all the lowballers. I am in the NYC/NJ market though which is huge.

Might have to lower your price. That matters more than storage - especially considering most people don't need more than 256GB.

Supply and demand as well as impacting economic changes since the past two years. Unfortunately that is what is causing the lack of interest at the moment.

Plus the carrier deals are pretty good this year (trade-in any condition).

Battery health is about to drop below 90%. No bueno.

Higher storage doesn’t really retain value. With the bump to 256GB this year, everyone can get a $799 iPhone 17 with nearly the same features as iPhone 15 Pro.

People aren’t buying as much as before. I was a frequent updated and before 2022 I could comment a good price on iPhones and it sells pretty quickly and a good price. That being said your price is too high imho. Phones depreciate quickly these days. Coupled that economic uncertainty please just don’t want to spend. It took me months to offload stuff I was selling for me jeep we are talking nearly 9 months.

Try swappa.

FWIW, in Europe commercial refurbishers are offering over 800 € for that model. Don’t these exist in the US?

Those of us who go for higher storage always get screwed on value, on both the front end and the back end.

I wish they'd put in a MicroSD slot

(yes, I know they never will)
