Estimate on how much a used iphone 3g (everything working) would be around?

Q. so i got a used iphone 3g from my friend for free, but the screen is broken which i need to fix, the phone won't vibrate which i also need to fix, and the sleep button is broken (which i don't really need to fix). all together the cost to fix the phone vibration and screen would be about $70. is that worth it to spend that much on repair or is it better to just buy a new one with everything working? please help thanks.

A. Congrats on acquiring your friends iPhone and for FREE! :) The good news for you is that iPhones seem to keep a very high value (even if they are older models)

We own a iPhone Repair company called Tech Life in Jacksonville Florida and do a fair share of buying/selling them.
The average price for a used 3g currently is about $100-140. You get more for the phone if it is unlocked and jail-broken (allows T-mobile users to use the phone) this can be done very easily. Just look up cydia and redsn0w..these are the programs need to jailbreak and increase your value by about $40. The best way to determine value on iPhones in your area is to do a simple search for "iPhone 3g" on Craigslist.

So to answer your question $70 sounds like a good deal to get everything fixed. Even if you want to turn around and sell it in the next 6 months or so you are still MAKING $30-50 profit on it.

Good Luck in whatever you decide to do. If for any reason you decide not to mess with it we will gladly buy it off of you broken. Email us at Sandy.techlife@gmail.com or Jared.techlife@gmail.com if you have any more questions or visit our website at http://techlifemobile.net/

HOPE THIS HELPS :)

How much is a used iPhone 3G, 8GB worth?
Q. I am planning to sell my iPhone. There are no scratches on the screen, only a bit on the back. How much is it worth to sell?

A. $10. I will gladly buy.

How much would a used iPhone 3GS 16gb in good condition sell for?
Q. I'm looking to sell my black iPhone 3GS 16gb that I bought in March. It's in good condition and works fine. How much money do you think I could get for it?
I also have the technical ability to unlock it, if that adds to the price.

A. Unlocking it may or may not ad to the price. I would say not to advertise whether or not your phone is jailbroken so that it will get everyone's attention. Then when you have a buyer you won't have to worry if it's someone who wants a phone that isn't unlocked. Usually you won't get more money because most people know its extremely simple to unlock it, but make sure you DO NOT upgrade the ios to 4.0.2 because there is no unlock for it right now. A phone that's an 8 or higher (1-10 scale) can get you $350 min, a 6/7 about $320 tops but sometimes you get really lucky. If you're gonna post on craiglist make sure you post at least $30 above what you will go for and add "or best offer" to description. Nonetheless you will sell this phone in 24 hours or less, good luck!
