I put my 64GB At&t 4S on craigslist for $450 and had a buyer withing 3 hours. We met at a Starbucks. Guy was really cool too. No fees or any of that crap with shipping. I drove 10 min from my house.

I sold my iphone 4s 16gb to sellyourmac.com for 285$. That will cover some of my etf for sprint and have to pay a little more to cover the rest.

Sold my 32gb 4S last week for $380 on eBay. Had some screen scratches and a few nicks, so I was happy with the price. Mid year upgrade on AT&T was $449 for a iPhone 5 16gb. Right now I'm rocking a 3GS. What a difference!

Still looking to sell mine. Have a 32gb white and black in mint condition. Put it up on craigslist but will probably end up going up on XDA. I've always had luck there.

I have my 4S for sale but it isn't sold yet. Of course I have a pre-order in 2 places for the iPhone 5 so technically, I can't consider it paying off my iPhone 5 yet.

I am keeping my old phone until the price goes down little to much price wise. Or until my contract is up so I don't have to buy out my contract.

Sold my Verizon 16GB 4 for $200. Person is picking it up on Friday after my 5 arrives. :) with activation and tax total out of pocket = $48. Going to have Verizon waive $30 for activation so total will be $18. Sweet deal.

Where's the option for, Sold my old phone to Gazelle and using it up to 30 days until I get the new one?

Of course, if it's still more on eBay after I get my new iPhone, I can cancel Gazelle. :)

I locked in at $380 on Buybackworld.com for my Vzn 64gb 4S. I tried to get more off of craigslist to no avail and honestly, after all of the fees that ebay charges for a sale I think I am better off this way.
