I used a loophole to get an iPhone 5 with unlimited LTE data on Verizon. I insist on keeping unlimited data so I think the easiest way to swallow full retail price on the new 5s is to sell my iPhone 5 as close to launch as possible when resale values are still relatively good. This will be my first iPhone upgrade so I am curious what happens to resale values when a new iPhone is announced and launched. I fear the iPhone 5 will plunge in value which will make the upgrade cost more painful. Can anyone share their experience doing this with prior versions of the iPhone?
FYI - It is my intention to sell on eBay. My iPhone 5 is in mint condition. It has always been in a case and with a high quality screen protector. The phone is perfect with no scratches, dents or dings. Additionally, I will ship in the original box and include all factory documents, and never used headphones and charger. The phone is technically used but will hopefully feel like a new phone experience for my buyer. Hopefully I am able to fetch top dollar when my iPhone 5 sells.
