While headed over to ebay today to do some digging, I noticed on the home page it says that they are offering a minimum of $200 for iPhones (3gs and newer). So I bite as I have the iphone 3gs and am looking to upgrade sometime in the next few months. Apparently this is a newer service by ebay called "eBay Instant Sale." As far as I can tell, ebay will buy the phone on behalf of one of their reselling members. They give a printable shipping label to send the device to them, once they receive it they will inspect it for condition and if it passes, they will credit your paypal account with the offered amount. If it doesn't pass, they send their best offer and you can accept or reject. If reject, you get the device sent back for free.
Sounds great right? Almost too good... but I've done some searching around and there are a few other sites talking about the new service so it seems to be legit.
My old iPhone 3gs is being offered $200! Heck I can get the new iPhone4 for that price (with a new contract of course). So basically, can swap the old for the new for free.
Any thoughts or experience with this new service? Looks like the promotional offer ends Feb. 22. They say the service is for just about any kind of electronics. They are doing the promo on the iphone now because of Verizon's new launch of the iphone, hoping people will sell their At&t iphone to pay for the Verizon iphone which just happens to start at $200.
