As above, I've got an upgrade coming and am considering selling it but not really sure what it's worth?

It'll be new and unlocked if that helps?!

There are various recycling outfits around, including O2, who's prices seem pretty fair, you could be looking at something around £200ish. There's going to be a lot coming onto the market, but plenty of people are likely to want an unlocked 3Gs in good nick.

ta, i think envirofone said about 250 but it seems a shame to send a never-used phone to them!

OK another question… can anyone tell me what the deal is re registering an iphone and then flogging it?

The phone is supposed to be coming unlocked but I'd like to test this prior to selling it, but would that mean registering it?

Then, if registered in my name does that mean I can't sell it?!

ta

eBay all the way. You'll get £300 for it on there. Forget the recycling places, you won't get anywhere near as much.

If you don't use the iPhone then it won't be registered in your name. Even if it was, then a quick factory restore will sort it out.

Recycling price comparison site here – http://mobilevaluer.com/ – seems to come out at about £230.

You'll get more on eBay (especially as it's new and boxed). Have a browse through the auctions to see what similar are going for.

You could be hopeful and get what this idiot thinks he will:

cheers, is there anyway I can tell if it's unlocked before taking it out of the box and poking it?!

(it hasn't arrived yet)

Dunno why he wouldn't get that? It comes WITH CASE! after all.

I don't know why we're all laughing about it – It just sold…

bidding ended, but there were no bids! not the same as sold, surely!

anyway…. so anyone able to tell me how I know if it's unlocked etc, before registering it?

When I click on the link it says that there was 1 bid?

It doesn't matter if you have to register it to find out if it's unlocked or not. The person who buys it from you can restore it through iTunes, and then re-register it as a new phone.

oh right, can they definitely re-register it with no problems then?

I don't want to accidentally screw someone over and have to deal with refunds etc!

thanks
