Certainly looks like a good site...i'm looking up some reviews for it now but i can't really find anything solid for or against it >.<
Personally, to be safe, I would go to buymytronics.com
They have basically the same prices, but I can guarantee you 100% that they are legit as I have used them before and there are tons of good reviews for them.

As I said in another thread, be careful with these sites
People I know that have done this type of thing have been ripped of 3 of 4 times, me included

I think it's a scam
I will never use again nor will I recommend. I sent in a very gently used iPhone about 3 weeks ago. It was in the original packaging with chargers, etc. I received an email 2 weeks ago confirming receipt of my package and that "in a couple of days" I would receive another email after my electronics had been "reviewed." I have not heard anything since despite a 2 emails asking for an update and a posting on the Facebook page. I have no hope of ever seeing my iPhone or my money.

Funny. I priced a 32GB 3GS in perfect condition and they came back with 135.00. What an unbelievable ripoff! I can't believe anyone would fall for a site like that. STAY AWAY!!!
