  1. Honestly I don’t know why people do these buy-backs and Gazelle deals.

    Let alone eBay, it’s trivial to sell your iPhone on Craigslist for well more than the cost of the new phone w/contract. I sold my 16gig still-locked AT&T iPhone 4 (not a 4S) for $200 when I got my 5 from Wal-Mart when they had a $99 sale on them — so I ended up, after taxes and fees, with a nice little profit. I sold my phone and had cash in hand within 3 hours of posting my ad.

    After agreeing a deal with one caller, I then had to fend off 5 or 6 other offers topping hers — $250-$275 — just to be fair to the person I promised it to.

    I guess if you live in a sparsely-populated area you might not have this option, but for anyone else it is a no-brainer. YMMV.

  2. Not clear on what YMMV means, are you, mate?

    For the record, three of my friends had the exact same experience. It’s not just “my use case,” it’s many others’ — though it might not be yours.
