iPhone Recycling

Two years ago I talked my wife into sleeping outside of the Apple Store with me on the eve of the release of the iPhone 3G. Early the next morning we bought 2 iPhones and that was the beginning of my iPhone recycling process. About ten months later Apple announced a new iPhone to be released that upcoming June, the iPhone 3GS. Being in a 2 year contract I wasn’t expecting to upgrade however at the last moment AT&T made most early adopters of the iPhone 3G eligible for early upgrade. :-)

Was the 3GS worth the price of the upgrade? Could I justify spending another $300 on such minimal updates? Thanks to eBay the answer is yes. I was able to sell my iPhone 3G for $340. The buyer was someone who didn’t want a 2 year contract. Other buyers attempting to buy the phone were younger people who didn’t have the credit to qualify with AT&T.

I was able to recycle my iPhone last year and just put both our devices on eBay this morning to recycle them once again. Upgrading at no cost is really nice!!!!

Sent from my iPhone… Maybe for the last time … Until the new one comes. :-)
