Just wondering how many people sell their old iPhones before the release of the next version? I am thinking I will be selling my 6 plus in another weeks time to get more for my device before the new one is released, what about you?

I hang on to mine for a while. I might give it to my wife or sell it for some other bauble/interest.

All depends if I need the money to buy the new device. More often than not,that's the case for me. Plus I don't see the reason to hold onto older tech.

No. I have too many kids and grandkids. Everything gets handed down.

[Ledsteplin]

I won't sell or trade my old 5 this time. Won't bring much anyways. Will keep for back up.

Until recently I was a habitual phone switcher so I'd always sell my current device in order to get the next one. Reason? So my wife wouldn't care very much save for the fact that I didn't have iMessage anymore. Lol

Happy wife... You know the rest

[Jstoney]

Na I wait two years. the 7 will be my next one.

I usually have it sold before the new iPhone hits my hands...last few times it's been to friends, and this year looks to be heading in the same direction.

If I was going to sell my iPhone, I would use Gazelle:

I did sale my 6+ 16GB for $525 and put that away for the 6S Plus

Mine goes to a family member. My 4s actually went to a friend who had dropped hers in her dog's water bowl.

Possibly the worst place to sell your phone. You don't get not nearly the value of what you can get if you just try hard enough.

I sold a 128GB Mint condition and used 6 Plus on Swappa for $760 last month. Look what what Gazelle gives you for that.

[nhlfreak9]

Yes I usually sell it on Craigslist and get a decent amount back

[Ariel Babalao]

I will not sell nor give my 6 even after I get the 6s plus. I will keep it for backup and try beta versions on it.

I can certainly understand, but for me . . . the money is not as important as the lack of hassle.

Do you still keep i5 up to date?

If you love throwing money away for no reason at all, Gazelle is a great outlet.

Selling a phone on Gazelle is literally NO easier than selling a phone on eBay. As long as you're clear and honest about what you're selling and don't represent what you're selling on eBay inaccurately, it's completely stress free. And the funny part is, Gazelle is the same way...they'll make the experience a total PITA if you misrepresent what you're sending them vs. what you describe initially.

it's currently my only phone, so yes, it's up to date. Needs a battery though.

[zerog46]

I usually hand it down to one of the kids.
Someone is going to enjoy a 128gb 6 Plus this year.

Like I said, the money is not my top priority. I've never had any problems with Gazelle, but I have had numerous issues (buying and selling) with eBay over the years. Moreover, Gazelle is a sponsor of MacBreak Weekly, and I like to support those that support people offering free content.

[finn5975]

I always sell either prior to receiving my new phone or relatively quickly after. I typically use Swappa in order to maximize resale or sell locally to someone I know. For those who use Gazelle, I'll gladly give you what they are offering. If you feel like throwing money away in that direction, I'm more than willing to profit off of that lol.

I'm going to use my iPhone 6 for iOS betas and app testing after I get my 6s Plus. I will be selling my 2014 Moto X soon ( ) to fund the 6s Plus though.

Most often I hold on to mine and always sell one of my previous model phones then get the next one. I typically have two phones at a time with one of them as a backup.

Sold my 6+ on Craigslist for 750 but I am moving over to the note 5 as I am quite impressed with my s6

There's a difference between enjoying convenience and simply throwing money away though...even if money isn't your top priority, I know you're not sitting around burning $100 bills just for fun, and that is exactly what you're doing with Gazelle. But if that floats your boat, by all means, keep doing it...or ship them out to some of the members here. Like Finn said, I'll gladly give you what Gazelle offers you, and then I'll turn around and recoup that cash with hardly any effort at all, and I'll let people like you pay for my new toys, lol.

The sponsorship comment actually made me laugh, but hey, if that helps you sleep at night, all the better...lol.
