Timing is everything...these sites that people have been mentioning sometimes offer guaranteed values to you for "x" number of days, but you're going to lose out on those regardless. eBay is my go to if I don't have someone to sell it to who I know personally, and the values on eBay always follow the same trend...big spike in sales right before and on release (obviously)...values don't start drastically dropping until AFTER release (though they do drop a decent amount in the month before).
I found in the past that if you sell the iPhone just before the release and let them know it will be shipped out on release day, you'll usually retain a little value vs. selling right afterwards.
