eBay is the place... No reserve and if it's in tip top condition I've sold two jailbroken 32's for around $445 each

I sold my iPhone 4 32gb black and jailbroken and in great condition on craigslist for $375 locally. Previously, I sold other iPhones (3G/3GS) on eBay for good deals. With eBay, you have a better chance of a great price if you have a good seller rating. If you are just starting out on eBay, I would go craigslist.

Well what if the phone only goes up to 150-200 bucks? I am looking between 3-400 dollar range.

eBay used to have a program where they would buy your phones directly from you, depending on the quality the phone is in and what brand and size they would pre quote you a price. You wouldn't even run an auction, you just put in your specs and they offer you a price, then you ship them the phone. Not sure if it's still available, as I just checked their site and googled it and I can't seem to find a link for it. So that program may not be available anymore.

However you could always list a reserve price on your item so that it could be listed at .99 cents however the bids would have to reach $300 before the transaction would actually go through. Or if you don't like to do a reserve listing, than start your auction at the minimum price you want to receive. I personally would do a reserve and list at .99 cents just to get more attention on ebay :)

It 's still available. It's called eBay instant sale. However, I don't like their pricing. Check out: http://instantsale.ebay.com

I am just nervous that if I list the phone for a cheap price and then it doesn't climb I won't get the maximum value for it. I want between 3-400 hundred dollars. If I start between 99cents-50 dollars I am afraid it won't climb to my selling point 300+ dollars.

Well with the reserve price set up you won't have to worry if it doesn't go up to the price you want because it won't sell unless it reaches your hidden reserve price of 300 (or whatever dollar amount you put as your reserve)

Nothing to lose but try it out! You can always pull the listing if you have to.
