What does a used iPhone 5 go for these days?

TheSLSAMG

Hey, so due to a chain of unfortunate events which involves my GTX 970 crashing down onto my HTC One M8's screen, I may sell my iPhone 5 to repair it. However, I am not sure at all what one would sell for now. The phone is in okay condition, with visible yet lighter scratches on the chassis and display which do not effect functionality and a single scuff on the chamfered edge. Everything works on it. It's on the Sprint network, and is 32GB.

He was trying to get better mobile gaming performance. Duct tape was not the answer.

The coverage is six months (HTC's Advantage), but even if I were within six months I already rooted it and installed a custom ROM.

 

Excuse me, but how the hell did you manage to do that?

Long story short, cleaning out my PC. GPU on top of my case, phone on my desk in front of me like usual. I pulled an ethernet cable, and wheee.

Or that, yes, let's go with that.

Was there a hammer involved Mr.Clarkson?

 

Quick google search turned up IPhone 5's going anywhere from 200 to 400.

When it comes to quick Google searches, I get a little suspicious. People tend to look over whether listings are completed or unsold on eBay, etc.

 

 

holy shit where are you guys selling these?

 

I have a iphone 5 im going to be selling on sprint and I been seeing 160s

That sounds more like it when I was looking at completed listings on eBay.

How the hell does an ethernet cable make a GPU fall off a case.

I bought an iPhone 5 on sprint for $200 in January. It was used but in almost new condition. Only 16gb though. I think $200-225 is a good price for yours. If it was on any other network I think it might be worth an average of about $10-25 more unfortunately...

It being worth more on other networks is fine, since repairs would cost as much as the iPhone would sell for on Sprint anyways.

OK, but why did you leave the cable connected to the PC and not the wall?

Ooooh, missed the Sprint part... yeah their iPhones have notably lower resale price then other companies... but then again there's Ting

Sprint introduced new policies(FEC) that made most Ting CDMA phone incompatible. Even a lower value now.

Very dumb considering Ting uses Sprint's network.

Sprint is very dumb, they don't care at all about companies that use their network for service. Those companies are losing Most of their customers.
