If you own an old iPhone 6 or 6 Plus, you can sell your iPhone and save some money to help defer for a fraction of the cost of a new iPhone 7 or 7 Plus. Actually, you can use these tips to sell any new model smartphone from previous iPhones, Samsung Galaxy phones, LG phones or Nexus phones.

You’ll need to decide whether you want to sell your iPhone yourself or just use one of the trade-in services. A trading service like Gazelle or Nextworth will pick up your phone, check what status it’s in, and then pay you with a gift card, PayPal, or check. You’ll usually get a better price if you sell your iPhone on a site like eBay, Craigslist, Glyde, or Swappa, but that also comes with more risk and hassle. We’ll explain the two options, provide examples of how much sellers can earn, and recommend the best options.

Sell ​​Your iPhone to Exchange Sites

Let’s start with exchange sites that are more convenient, but don’t traditionally pay a lot of money.

apple recycling

People planning to buy the new iPhone 7 directly from Apple may want to consider: Recycle old iPhone with Apple. You will choose your model, storage size and color. Then tell Apple the status of the phone and which carrier it is connected to. Apple offered $250 for my Space Gray iPhone 6s Plus in a 128GB T-Mobile.

gazelle

gazelle It advertises a lot and carries the most name recognition. Here are the steps to sell your iPhone:

If you do not have an account yet, you will sign up for one. Gazelle sends you a prepaid mailbox or lets you print a prepaid label so you can use your own box. Pack and ship the phone according to the instructions. The Gazelle will open the box and check, so make sure you describe the situation properly. Gazelle will either pay you with an Amazon gift card, a check via PayPal, or you can have them donate the money to a charity of your choice.

Note above that they offered $272 for my space gray iPhone 6 Plus with 128GB storage in good condition at T-Mobile. Get your price as soon as possible, as the price will drop as you get closer to the release date.

Sell ​​Your iPhone Yourself

Sell ​​the phone yourself to earn more money. However, you will also have to negotiate with buyers and find your own packaging. For best results, you should take photos of the phone and answer questions. It also takes 3-10 days to get paid and you may end up selling it to a scammer who wants to rob you or an annoying scumbag who treats you badly.

Next Value

Next Value it works the same with just a few variations. Select the device type, manufacturer, model and carrier. Nextworth asks more detailed questions about the phone’s status.

The example above shows that Nextworth only offered $200 for my iPhone 6s Plus on the day this article was published.

slip

A third exchange site, slipprompts you to choose whether to buy or sell. Then the user searches their phone by name. Choose the carrier, storage size and color. Answer a few questions about the phone’s status.

Glyde works differently from the other two sites above. If someone doesn’t buy at that price, you won’t get the amount shown in bold. The “out of pocket” price is closer to what you’d do because Glyde charges the cost of mailing the phone in a prepaid box plus a selling fee. It seems to offer a better price, but not as quick and easy as Nextworth and Gazelle.

You can also make barter sales. Amazon Swap. Moreover eBay Valet will do a sale for you and work similarly to the above sites, eliminating some of the selling hassles.

eBay

eBay’s most popular site to sell your own technology. You will need to create an auction by searching for your phone model, manufacturer, carrier, size and color. Set a minimum price and choose to auction standalone or put a Buy Now price on the auction. If you add a Buy Now price, the buyer can end the auction and pay the amount you listed as the price. You must also decide whether you want to charge shipping, how you will ship, and whether you will ship internationally.

Note that listings for sale on eBay average over $500 (see image above).

Find this option by searching for the model you have and then select from the left to the bottom of the sidebar. Check out the image above to see what it looks like. Check and show recently sold items that match your search. It shows how much and when they sold.

Now that you know a good price, follow the instructions on how to post on eBay from their site. How to start selling FAQ.

craigslist

Craigslist gives you another option to sell your old iPhone. If you do it right, you won’t have to deal with selling fees or shipping. However, you could theoretically only sell to the local community, which limits the market and pushes the potential price down.

Sign up for an account or sign in if you already have it. Select in the top left to sell your iPhone on Craigslist. Select and category, . Now you will need to fill out the form and then write a description. The site requires items highlighted in green. Fill in the following:

Fill the description in the big box and be as detailed and accurate as possible. Click the icon at the bottom of the page. You can then add photos and list the phone. If you’ve done the sending job well, be prepared for the email to start flowing.

I did a search of the iPhone 6s Plus 128GB space gray color and found a handful of phones in my area for $575 to $650.

When you sell on Craigslist, you should never send the phone. If you do, you will be scammed. Also, meet in a public place to barter and only accept cash. Be safe and be truthful in your description. I’ve sold a few phones on Craigslist with no real issues. I prefer Craigslist to eBay or Swappa, but sometimes my devices don’t sell for a good price and I have to use my second choice, eBay.

swap

of swappa an upcoming seller site. You can search for the phone you want to sell or select from the top of the page and then select the phone you want to sell if it appears on the resulting page. Otherwise, search for your phone in the top search box.

Amazon Reseller

You can also sell on Amazon Seller Central. You have to sign up for an account, and listing items can get complicated. There is no time frame like eBay. It’s more like Swappa, where you set a price and expect someone to pay that price.

Solution

If you want the most money, start with Craigslist and then move on to eBay, Swappa, or Glyde, depending on whether you want an auction or a direct sale where you set a price and wait for a buyer. If you don’t want to deal with all the mess of selling yourself, you can sell your iPhone on Gazelle. We got the best price here when we checked various exchange sites.
