With the advent of the new iPhone release, there are a few things you should know if you want to sell your current iPhone. As you get closer to the launch date, the inherent value of your iPhone will decrease, which means you should sell it sooner rather than later if you want to get the most money. I sold my 1st generation iPhone for more than the cost of buying the 2nd generation iPhone. A couple of tips:
- Keep Everything: Keep every thing from your iPhone purchase. This includes: your charger, headphones, cleaning cloth, original box and packaging, user manual, etc. If you have a case, include that when selling it. Now you can label your phone as "part of a package."
- Try and keep your phone in the best condition possible. The moment I bought my 2nd generation, I knew I was going to sell it. The less dings and scratches on your phone, the better it looks and the more it'll sell for. In order to protect my phone, I purchased a plastic contour case to protect the back and corners, and a film to protect the screen. While there are a few hairline scratches, there is no real or significant damage.
- Jailbreak/Unlock it: By doing this, your phone can now be purchased by people from all over the world, thoroughly increasing your customer base. My first iPhone was purchased by a woman in Canada. It even allows for people in the US on a different network (T-Mobile) to buy your phone.
