I have a few old items laying around I'd sell. Was checking out gazelle.com I put my old 3g 8g Iphone in there they say $105. Works for me but I really don't know anything about the site, seen it in a article related to selling old electronics on Yahoo today. Anyone use any site or sites like this?
I'm too lazy to set up a selling account and go through an auction ect.... I want it sold ASAP not hassle. Now I won't use these if they are a rip but that is why I asked. I will jump on ebay and see what other 3g 8g Iphones are going for.

A quick scan of ebay for a 3g 8gb Iphone used ATT is going for 89 - 149 range so this site is right there at 105.

When I sold my old iphone I was able to get more than double what gazelle was offering on ebay.

I've always done decent just posting it on Amazon. When my last laptop died I parted it out and made more than I expected on there selling the hardware.

I sold my old laptop for $200 on ebay, and realized I could have parted it out for like $300-350 but I am way too lazy to tear it apart and sell all of the parts individually.
You are always more likely to get fair market value there, for better or worse. Gazelle has to make a profit, so they aren't going to overpay (theoretically).

I'd say $105 is pretty fair for a 8GB iPhone 3G.

Amazon.com is offering $120 through their trade in...
However, you can only get an Amazon gift card I believe...

Why not donate it to a charity. You can donate it to cellphone for soldiers or women of domestic violence.

Soldiers is an option, woman of domestic violence should have had dinner ready.

I used gazelle.com and got a pretty fair deal a few years ago
