Wife and I have two 6's headed our way in the mail. Thus, we need to sell our old 5 and 4 (AT&T). Both have been in full body cases since day 1, so both are in near perfect condition.

Ebay the best route?

I sold my 3G and 4S when we got our 5S's on eBay. Got $185 and $385 repectively. Was nice and easy.

How much do you want for the 5 and can you unlock it so I can use it on T-Mobile?

To be honest, havent looked around to see what a fair price is. What are you looking to pay? For a good price, would like to help another Ag out.
As for the unlocking, not sure how that works. Not the most tech savvy guy...

If your 4 and 5 are out of contract, which I'm sure they are, google "unlock iphone att" and fill out AT&Ts online form. Really easy and they'll remotely unlock it. Then, you'll do best on ebay. I just got $150 this way for a 16gb 4s w/cracked screen and beat up pretty good.

i bought a used (AT&T) iPhone 5c on glyde.com and was very satisfied. Excellent condition, and it really was. You have 48 hours to evaluate your purchase and return it if you don't like it.

I'm planning to sell my (Sprint) Galaxy S3 on there, when I get around to it. They recommend a price for the phone you're listing, but you can go higher. The price they recommend is the price they found will get you a sale within X days (somewhere around 3-4 days, iirc).

I just sold a 5s on eBay and it sucked. Sniped by a guy in Greece so I had to try and get a second chance offer. The next highest guy took it but getting an address out of him sucked because I don't think he spoke English well (from south Florida).

I'd do gazelle if I did it over again for ease and I only made $20 more than they offered after eBay fees.

Assuming it's out of contract, you contact ATT and they send you an e-mail link to unlock the phone form their network. Then you wipe all your data, then go into iCloud and delete the phone from your account so it can be used on another account.

Looks like good condition 16GB iPhone 5 unlocked are going for between $300-$350 on ebay.

New 6 will arive this week. So, selling my white 16GB 5 that is in perfect condition (been in a case since day 1). It is AT&T but I can unlock for anyone.
Selling for $300. Post here if interested.

I traded my AT&T 5 64 to Best Buy yesterday for gift cards. Could have done better elsewhere probably but I buy stuff from there every now and again and the process was simple and fast.

The lady who does my nails has a cousin who wants to buy my iPhone 5 (I've recently upgraded to the 6). The lady will send it to Vietnam where they'll do whatever it is they'll do with it. Am I at any risk? How do I strip the phone of all personal data? How much should I ask for it?

TIA

I use craigslist to avoid the fees. Works every time.

If you get cash for it then you aren't at risk when you turn it over. Make sure you have it wiped and your SIM is out, but they still probably can't do much with it if it has a lock code.

Also remember to turn off Find My iPhone if you have that on.

So to get the SIM out I need to unscrew it, right? Maybe I'll just tell her my husband sold it w/out me knowing and I'll do Gazelle instead.

Just to let you know, if you use an AT&T unlocked phone for T-Mobile, you won't be able to use Mobile Hotspot.

when we got our two 6s, I took my 4 and my wife's 4s into AT&T store. Got $400 for both. It was part of a buy back promo I think.
