Apple trade in program

ladybug does your H still work for apple? Does he know anything about this?

According to their online quote estimator, my phone is worth $391. That's only $9 less than it originally cost. Is that even possible?

they have such a high resale value! I traded my old one (Iphone4) in on amazon and got a lot for it too

I looked up how much my 3gs was worth on that gazelle.com and it said $12

[Faevantastic]

Whoa, whoa, whoa... Mine's $336. This is a game changer for new iPhone. Unless if the value goes down when that comes out?

Sad panda! I have the 64GB iPhone 5 so that's why it's worth a lot. 

If I trade in then I can get the new phone BUTTT it will ruin the system we have going on where I get a new phone every year and then DH gets the hand me down. Damn it. 

His cracked (on the back) 32GB 4S is estimated to be worth.... $0.

I don't see why it would?? Apparently the used phones are going to be sold in China where there is a huge market for hand me down phones.

I always sell them here:
www.amazon.com/Trade-In/b?ie=UTF8&node=2242532011

see if it's worth more than $12 there.
I love that it just deposits in my amazon acct. I don't have to try to sell it or anything (like ebay)

Interesting! Any idea on how much the new ones might cost?

If it goes by the usual pricing it will be $200 for 16GB, $300 for 32GB, $400 for 64GB (prices are including a contract obv)

Thanks! I wish I was up for a new phone but sadly, I got one last year. My H is getting one and I'm irrationally mad he hasn't offered to take mine and give me the new one!

No he doesn't so I don't know about this. BUT it's not $9 less than it originally cost technically. You paid $399 with a new contract- iPhones retail for $600-800 so that's the difference.

This sounds really cool! I'll need to check into it

Maybe I need to make him a stronger offer

[vthokie]

My sister always sells her stuff on Gazelle.com. Even my crap phone is worth like $130 on Amazon. I may have to get the new iPhone for Christmas this year.
