I just got $105.50 for my iPhone 3G 16MB!

[Geoff]

Yesterday I pulled the trigger and purchased the iPhone 4 (which I love BTW). Saw in the local paper that Target buys old iPhones! So with the money I got from Target (in the form of a gift card), my iPhone only cost me $95 (plus sales tax and that $18 upgrade fee).

Target uses this company nextworth.com. You can get a quote for your phone at their website (NextWorth: Buy and Sell Electronics, Sell iPhone and Video Games, Recycle your gadgets - NextWorth.com) If you don?t want a Target card, you can go through nextworth and get paid via pay pal.

I'm sure I could have gotten more on Craigslist, but its done and I don't have to deal with it anymore.

Just wanted to pass this along.

just curious, what sort of condition was your 3G in?

 

[Geoff]

It was in pretty good shape. It always was in a case and I used screen protectors. There were minor scratches on it. The guy basically went through the questions at that nextworth web site. The questions were:

-Cracked Display (no)
-Did wifi work? (yes)
-Dead spots on display (no)
-Fully functional (yes)
-Audio jack functional (yes)
-Working battery (yes)

He never checked the audio jack, but he did look at the display etc.

You could have sold it privately for more than that.

Wow, could have easily got $200 on Craigslist for it ...

 

[Geoff]

Agreed that I could have gotten more. But I didn't want to deal with Craigslist or eBay. Been burned before so it just wasn't worth it.

Very understandable.

There's also another sight gazelleit??? heard it on iPad Today with Leo Laporte supposed to be a good site that gives a really fair dollar amount.

I don't know about $200 for a 3G, understandable for a 3GS, in good condition of course, but $100 is still great.
