When and Where to Sale Your Old iPhone?
If you are ready to resale your iPhone, do you know when is the best time and which site is the best buyer? If you don’t, no need to worry, because here we are talking about this. Considering iPhone 5 is coming, so you’d better decide as soon as possible.
Here I mainly talk about the resale of iPhone. We all know how amazing iPhone is, we can do many fantastic things with it, and there are many other tools that can help us make the most of iPhone, so we certainly want to use the latest iPhone. The next generation iPhone is about to come, the new features like the screen may be a little bigger or may support 4G LTE etc are really attractive, so many people who even have an iPhone 4S in hand still want a new iPhone. Alright, if so, the best way is to resale the old iPhone, so that you at least can recover a few bucks. Now the question is when to resale and resale to whom?
There are many professional trade-in sites, and now let’s see what advices they can give us.
1. eBay. You all know eBay, eBay usually offers the lowest trade-in value for smaller electronics, but does pretty well when trading in laptops.
2. Gazelle. Gazelle’s Chief Gadget Officer Anthony Scarsella said: A 16GB AT&T iPhone 4S in good condition still fetches $277 on Gazelle. He also assumes that the bottom will fall out of these inflated iPhone prices near the beginning of September, or about two weeks before Apple’s iPhone event and three weeks before the actual release; that’s in line with when prices started falling last year.
3. NextWorth. iPhone owners can trade up in any of NextWorth’s participating retail stores, such as Target, or use the online program, which has a 10-day turnaround for an old iPhone in good condition. The service provides pre-paid shipping labels, but its Web site doesn't mention whether it wipes the old data, so be sure to clean your device before you let it go. For example, if you have something important in your ipad, make sure you have copied them to your Mac with ipad transfer to mac.
4. Amazon consistently offered the highest trade-in for the products I could find. iPad 2 owners should probably jump on that $310 offer ASAP. Amazon offers up to $415 and eBay Instant Sale offers up to $299 for a 16GB iPhone 4S, so obviously which one to choose, right?
You see I didn’t give you the specific price or other information of each buyer, because if you decide to sale your iPhone, you’d better go to those websites and compare very carefully.
