Hey guys so im dead set on for sure selling my iPhone 8 plus on the 27th of this month to buy my iPhone x
i know people will say blah blah blah waste of money and blah but i got a massive discount on mine from a friend who owns a shop so honestly im selling to use that money for my x but how much and where should i sell it on?


I don't yet have access to marketplace so im kinda crying about that...
I want somewhere where it can be a quick sale and no hassle on receiving money and what not

its an

iPhone 8 Plus 64GB Silver
T-Mobile Carrier/No Finance
I can probably get it unlocked but im not 100% sure.

Planning to purchase 256GB Silver or black idk...
iPhone X


what do you think would be the best place to sell it?
 
I personally like Swappa. I've only used them once to buy a phone, but would use them if I was selling as it's a better experience than Ebay (for both buyer and seller from what I've seen) and more geared specifically for selling gadgets. I believe the fees are also lower than Ebay. If anything, Swappa is a good place to see what the going rate is via their price charts and recently sold list.

Swappa is the only place that I sell old iPhones on anymore. eBay is waste of time to me. You can do Craigslist as well, but obviously meet in public (maybe T-Mobile store) when doing the transaction.

I would echo using Swappa. And if you do not have another phone lying around, I wouldn't sell it prior to your pre-order considering you may need that 8 Plus until sometime around President's Day 😵

My vote goes to Swappa as well. I've successfully sold several phones and tablets on Swappa and it was a far more pleasant experience than eBay could ever be. Also, the fees are far lower.
