An eBay instant sale price will always be lower than what you can sell it for as an eBay seller via your own auction.

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

I'm thinking you're this annoying on purpose. Look, it's an iphone. This may be one the easiest things to sell on ebay.

Start it at 300, put a buy it now for 400 and quit worrying.

I prefer craigslist, as I don't want to deal with ebay and paypal fees, but either way is fine. My dh and I have sold our last 2 iphones on craigslist for more than what we bought the new phones for, and within just a matter of minutes from posting the ad.

Craigslist could be the fastest, since your dealing with people closest to you.
Ebay reaches the biggest audience but if are new and have no feedback people are hesitant to buy due to scamming.
Sounds to me like you should do CL.
I have bought and sold several 3G and 4 devices on CL with no isssues.

so a brand new iphone4s flat out is 749.99? for the people who have sold their iphone4 on ebay or craigslist are you just paying the difference in what you receive for the sale and what the new iphone4s costs? how much money have you guys sold your iphone4 for online? to buy the 4s at 749.99 32GB which i want is so much money

Done a lot of research....

So far, for my pristine iphone 16gb in box with everything and iphone 3G 16GB, Gamestop.com has the best pricing. Bring it into the store and get cash or store credit.

I've priced about a half dozen websites already.
