Where to sell my used (near mint) iPhone?
What's the best place to get top dollar for my used iPhone 5 (16gb AT&T) besides Ebay? Don't feel like dealing with that hassle.

I can unlock it if that gets me more $$$.

It's in near mint condition and comes with everything BNIB (headphones, charging cable, plug, etc.).

I looked at Gazelle and other "you sell it" sites and it's around $125 if I sell to them which I think seems low.

Any suggestions?

You get a good deal more for trade in if you want to buy more stuff with it, its usually what I do. Plus believe me its worth not having to deal with Ebay, but a lot. Maybe Craigslist, but Ebay sucks ass.

Try Amazon?

Plus that guarantee has a lot of requirements. So if you've never sold before in eBay you won't Qualify.

I need to sell my 32GB unlocked iPhone 5 as well, I'm just lazy to take pictures of it.

Then again Amazon doesn't really need it.

And I jeed to make sure I've disabled all services with it and remove it from my apple support profile.

I ended up selling my 32GB unlocked 5 for $220 shipped.

So after shipping I netted about $200, right about what I wanted.

Went with Amazon trade-in. We are always buying stuff from them so the credit works for us.

Can I walk into an ATT store and walk out with a subsidized IP6 without activating? Was going to grab one for my wife, but won't have her phone and really don't want to activate it and have her IP5 without service. I believe you can buy at the Apple Store like this, but I won't be near one today. BestBuy I know requires activation on site.

I tried doing this at the Apple store, but as soon as they scanned the barcode on the new iPhone, I lost service on my old phone.

Got $150 GC @ Amazon which is way better (to me) than the $165 credit at CEX. I don't need the cash. Always buying something on Amazon.

Swappa? Lot of XDA guys buy and sell on there. That said, there's 103 AT&T iPhone 5's up for sale on there right now.

CEX cash offer was $125.

Last time I checked $150 > $125.
Again I don't need $25 less just to get cash. Buy plenty @ Amazon.

Once in a blue moon I will try to swipe my phone to unlock it but it won't swipe, like the screen is frozen. Only thing that seems to work is to turn the phone off and back on. Waste of 1 minute of my life
