Buying an iPhone 4? Sell Your Old Model

June 30th, 2010 by Erin Posted in Technology | No Comments »

The iPhone 4 is out and sales are through the roof. It has lots of crazy new features – and a few glitches. But, for the most part, everyone and their mother wants one.

But, let’s say you’re already an iPhone owner. What do you do with your old one?

The answer: sell it!

… and not on eBay or Craigslist either. Several websites are offering CASH for your used iPhone. And, they will tell you upfront exactly what they’ll pay.

NextWorth and Gazelle say they will offer up to $100 for iPhone 3G models and $200 for iPhone 3GS – in good condition, of course.

Considering the new iPhone 4 starts at $199 with a two-year contract – that’s a hell of a deal.

Now, if the thought of selling your iPhone over the Internet sounds iffy, you can head over to RadioShack instead. It too is offering the same trade-in values, BUT for in-store credit. You can also – on the spot- trade in your old iPhone and sign up for the $199 upgrade. But,  don’t expect o walk out of the store with your new iPhone in hand. Those phones go out to smart people who pre-ordered.

Bummer, I know.

Yes, these new iPhones are hot tickets right now. I predict they’ll be even hotter when the Verizon iPhone is introduced in January. C’est la vie AT&T. A lot of people won’t be sorry to see you go.
